What to Focus On

  • A pattern follows a rule.
  • Geometrical patterns use shapes and designs.
  • Number patterns use numbers and mathematical operations.

  • Look at the shape, direction, and position.
  • The rule may involve rotation, addition, or removal of parts.
  • Always check how the figure changes from one to the next.

  • Check the difference between numbers.
  • The rule can be addition, subtraction, multiplication, or a mix.
  • Some patterns grow quickly, others slowly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The next shape in a pattern is just about what looks right, not following a strict rule.

In number patterns, adding the same number means the pattern is correct, even if the rule changes later.

If shapes are rotating, they must rotate 90 degrees every time.
