types of Patterns • Number pattern • Letter or word pattern

There are various types of patterns, such as repeating, increasing, decreasing, changing Look at the following number patterns Look at the following patterns.

direction, a combination of all these, number patterns, etc. All patterns follow a rule. and identify the rules applied. (a) A C F J

• Pattern in Shape (a) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,... (b) ABC BCD CDE DEF

Increasing shape pattern Decreasing shape pattern (b) 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20,... (c) MOM DAD SISTER BROTHER MOM DAD
(c) 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25,... Find the rule and write the next term.

(d) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60,...

Logical Thinking
Rule: The shape increases by one each Rule: The shape decreases by one each maths fun

time following the shape . time. Draw a line that goes through all the circles. Your line can go left,
• Pattern in Size right, up, or down but not diagonally. Your line cannot cross over

Increasing pattern in size Decreasing pattern in size any part of the line you have already drawn and you cannot turn
in a blank circle.

Rule: The size of the circle increases Rule: The size of the square reduces Practice time 8B
gradually. gradually. 1. Tick () what will come next in the following patterns.

•
• Increasing pattern in number as well Changing direction pattern
as in size (a)

(b)
Rule: A larger circle is added each time. Rule: There is a change in direction and
repetition in the pattern.

• Combination of pattern (c)

2. Complete the patterns.
Nature is full of patterns and some natural
objects or creatures are symmetrical (a) 20 2200 222000 20 2200 _____ _____ _____ _____

Rule: This pattern follows a repetition, too. Draw any three symmetrical natural
changing direction and increase in things that makes a pattern. (b)
