👁️ Visual Learning Tip
This lesson uses colors and shapes to help you see patterns. Look carefully at how shapes repeat!
What is a Pattern?
A pattern is something that repeats in a predictable way. In shapes, we can create patterns by arranging different shapes in a specific order that repeats.
Patterns repeat! Look for what comes again and again.
Shape Patterns
Let’s look at some shape patterns. The most common patterns are AB patterns (like circle-square-circle-square) and ABC patterns (like circle-square-triangle-circle-square-triangle).
Example: Circle-Square Pattern
