Repeating patterns
Red-blue-red-blue (AB) then red-blue-green (ABC) โ the first step in sequential logic.
Growing patterns
1, 2, 3, 4 โ or 1, 3, 5, 7 โ understanding growth rules prepares for multiplication.
What comes next?
Complete the pattern by identifying the rule โ core analytical thinking.

Frequently asked questions
Why are patterns important in early maths?
Recognising and extending patterns is the foundation of algebraic thinking. Children who understand patterns have an easier time with multiplication tables and sequences later.
At what age can children understand patterns?
Simple AB colour patterns from age 3-4. ABC patterns and growing number sequences from age 5-6. Odd-one-out and rule identification from Grade 1.
How to introduce patterns concretely?
Use physical objects: blocks (red-blue-red-blue), claps and silences, body movements (stand-sit-stand-sit). Physical patterns internalise before paper exercises.
Are there number patterns as well?
Yes โ skip-counting (2, 4, 6, 8), hundreds chart patterns, and simple function tables are included from Grade 1.
