I love using the computer lab in my teaching. Especially in teaching children about patterns. The website www.starfall.com has great links to games that reinforce many math and reading concepts for different grade levels. I find this to be an excellent way for children to learn more about safe internet use and the core areas taught in the classroom. Also the games are fun and easy to use for the children. This would be an excellent way to provide independent practice for patterns, addition and subtraction.
