What is a Pattern?

• A pattern is something that repeats in a certain way.
• It can be shapes, colours, or numbers that follow a specific order.
• Patterns help us understand what comes next.

• Colour pattern:
  • If you have red, blue, red, blue, what comes next? That's right, red!
  • You can use colours of your toys to make patterns too!


• Shape pattern:
  • If you see a circle, square, circle, square, what do you think comes next?
  • It's a circle! You can use blocks or drawings to create shapes patterns.


• Number pattern:
  • If you count by 2s like this: 2, 4, 6, what comes next?
  • That's right, 8! You can use numbers in games to practice patterns.
