types of Patterns

There are various types of patterns, such as repeating, increasing, decreasing, changing

direction, a combination of all these, number patterns, etc. There are some rules followed
by each type of pattern.

• Pattern in Shape

Increasing shape pattern Decreasing shape pattern

rule: The shape grows each time by
one following the shape . rule: The shape decreases each time
by one.

• Pattern in Size

Increasing pattern in size Decreasing pattern in size

rule: The size of a circle is increased rule: The size of a square is reduced
gradually. gradually.

• Increasing pattern in number as well • Changing direction pattern

as in size

rule: One circle of bigger size is added each rule: There is a change in direction and

time. repetition in the pattern.

• Combination of pattern

Project

Nature is full of patterns and some natural
