Find the little part that repeats and use it to continue a pattern.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Repeat | Do the same part again. |
| Order | Which comes first and which comes next. |
A pattern follows a rule. Circle, square, circle, square repeats the pair circle, square. Say that pair together each time. To continue, begin the pair again after it finishes. Sorting is different: a pile of circles and a pile of squares has groups, but it does not yet show a repeating order.

○ □ | ○ □ | ○ □
The bars show the ends of complete repeats; they are not beads.
A pattern can use sounds, movements or small groups. Clap, tap, clap, tap repeats two actions. One stone, two stones, one stone, two stones repeats two group sizes. Before filling a gap, find a whole pair with nothing missing. Then use its order at the gap. Copying only the last thing breaks the pattern.
Invent clap, tap with a partner. Stop after a clap and invite the partner to finish the pair. Pointing or movement can explain the rule without written words.
Point to a complete pair.
○ □
Both shapes are in the repeat.
Put another pair after it.
○ □ ○ □
The order stays the same.
Find the two group sizes.
1, 2
Each group has a different amount.
Build one more complete pair.
Keep this bead pattern going: ○ □ ○ □ ○ __. Which shape comes next?

The pattern is one dot, two dots, one dot, two dots. How many dots belong in each missing group?

Lesson test: one question per skill, one attempt each, no hints. Your answers are checked when you submit.
A toy parade repeats two flags, then three flags. Extend the pattern with two more groups.
▲▲ | ▲▲▲ | ▲▲ | ▲▲▲ | a flags | b flags

Show the repeating pair in a new pattern, then add a complete new pair in order.
7. Continue one dot, two dots, step 2
1, 2 again.
A new pair restarts the rule.
