Patterns and Sequences

Spotting Patterns

Patterns are repeating arrangements of numbers, shapes, or objects. Sequences are numbers that follow a rule.

Types of Patterns

  • Repeating patterns: Like red, blue, red, blue, red, blue.
  • Growing patterns: Numbers increase or decrease by the same amount each time.

Why Patterns Matter

Patterns help us predict what comes next, solve puzzles, and understand how things are organized.

Real Life

You can find patterns in music, art, nature, and even your daily routine!

Examples

  • What comes next in 2, 4, 6, 8, __? (Answer: 10)

  • If you see shapes in the order: triangle, square, triangle, square, what shape comes next? (Answer: triangle)

In a Nutshell

Patterns and sequences help us find order and predict what comes next.
