| 🎯 Practice Activity: |
Complete the following patterns:
- 🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴 ___ ___
- 🟦🟦🔺🟦🟦🔺🟦🟦 ___
- ⭐⭐⚫⭐⭐⚫⭐⭐ ___
Circle the repeating part (core) in these patterns:
- 🍎🍌🍎🍌🍎🍌
- 🟢🔵🟡🟢🔵🟡
Learn with an example
Use the shapes to continue the pattern.
It’s easy to predict what comes next.
The Core of this pattern is
Use the core to complete the pattern
The next shapes are
The pattern is:
Use the shapes to continue the pattern.
The pattern starts with these two shapes:
The pattern repeats these shapes over and over.
So, the completed pattern is:
