What Are Repeating Patterns?
Patterns are everywhere!
A repeating pattern is a sequence of colors, shapes, numbers, or objects that follows a rule and repeats over and over. Look around - you'll find patterns in your clothes, in nature, and even in your favorite songs!
How to Recognize Patterns
1️⃣ Look for the part that repeats
2️⃣ Name the pattern (like "red, blue, red, blue")
3️⃣ Predict what comes next in the sequence
