What to Focus On

  • A pattern is a repeating arrangement.
  • The part that repeats is called the 'unit of repeat'.
  • Patterns follow a rule — a special way they are built.
  • Shape patterns use 2D shapes like triangles, circles, squares.
  • Look for the repeating group of shapes.
  • The repeating group is the 'unit of repeat'.
  • Number patterns follow a rule like 'add 2' or 'subtract 5'.
  • Check the difference between numbers to find the rule.
  • The rule helps us find the next number.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any repeating shape is a pattern, even if the unit doesn't repeat fully.

The rule in a number pattern is always 'add the same number'.

In letter patterns, the rule is always to go to the next letter.
