Beaded Necklace

Materials: beads, needles, and jewelry string

Procedure

Give the following examples of a perfect necklace so students know the operational definition of one.

A necklace is perfect if the pattern repeats around the whole necklace so there is no one starting or stopping point. May need to draw the following to see what does and doesn't make a perfect necklace.

So what kinds of necklaces can be made?
