In this Lei Day math activity, K–2 students build exactly three complete units of three different repeating patterns — Easy (AB), Medium (AAB), and Hard (ABC) — using hibiscus 🌺, shell beads 🐚, and maile leaves 🌿. The game develops students’ understanding of pattern structure: what counts as one complete unit, and how units combine to form a longer sequence. Aligned to education standards, this Lei Day activity brings rigorous early math into a Hawaiian & AAPI holiday context.
