Introduction to Simple Patterns

Mathematics Grade 1 Difficulty 2/5

Beginning of the lesson

Patterns All Around Us!

Patterns repeat over and over again.

We see patterns every day!

A pattern can be:

  • Colors that repeat
  • Shapes that repeat
  • Numbers that repeat
  • Actions that repeat

Patterns follow rules.

We can guess what comes next!

Look for what repeats.

Find the pattern rule.

Then predict what comes next!
