Overview
In this chapter, we learn about patterns in shapes, numbers, and letters. A pattern is a special arrangement where things repeat in a certain order. We see patterns all around us — in clothes, tiles, numbers, and even in the alphabet. Understanding patterns helps us predict what comes next and impro
Key Concepts
A pattern is a sequence
A pattern is a sequence of shapes, numbers, or letters that repeats in a special order. For example: 🟦 🔺 🟦 🔺 🟦 🔺 — this is a pattern because the shape
The smallest part of a pattern
The smallest part of a pattern that repeats again and again is called the unit of repeat. For example, in 🔴🟡🟢🔴🟡🟢, the unit of repeat is 🔴🟡🟢.
In number patterns
In number patterns, numbers follow a rule. For example: 2, 4, 6, 8… Here, each number increases by 2. The rule is 'add 2'.
Letters and shapes can also form
Letters and shapes can also form patterns. For example: A, C, E, G… (skip one letter), or △ ○ □, △ ○ □… (shapes repeat in order).
Learning Objectives
- Identify repeating units in patterns
- Recognize and extend number, letter, and shape patterns
- Understand the rule behind a pattern
