What Are Patterns?
Patterns are everywhere!
Patterns are sequences that repeat in a predictable way. They can be made with colors, shapes, numbers, or objects. Learning to recognize and complete patterns helps us understand order and predict what comes next!
How to Complete Patterns
1️⃣ Look at the pattern carefully
2️⃣ Find the part that repeats
3️⃣ Choose what comes next to complete the pattern
