This math topic focuses on identifying and applying rules to three-item repeating shape patterns. It introduces students to recognizing possible patterns in sequences of shapes and colors, such as indicating which sequence correctly continues a given pattern. Skills practiced include visual observational skills, logical thinking, and rule application for pattern recognition and prediction, all within an introductory framework to visual patterning. Each problem requires selecting the correct rule that describes the repeating pattern shown in an image, enhancing the learner’s ability to discern and extend patterns systematically.
