What's Inside

Recognizing and extending patterns is a critical early math skill. Patterns teach children to predict what comes next — a foundation for algebra, logic, and problem-solving. These worksheets progress from simple AB patterns to more complex ABB patterns, with space to create original patterns.

Teaching Tips

Start with AB patterns

The simplest pattern is AB: red, blue, red, blue. Master this before moving to ABB or ABC patterns.

Use real objects

Make patterns with blocks, snacks, or stickers before working on paper. Hands-on pattern making builds deeper understanding.

Ask "What comes next?"

This simple question is the heart of pattern learning. Pause and let your child predict before revealing the answer.

Find patterns everywhere

Stripes on a shirt, tiles on a floor, days of the week — patterns are everywhere. Point them out to build pattern awareness.
