Copy & Extend Patterns
Recognize and copy simple patterns with objects and colours
What is a Pattern?
A pattern is something that repeats over and over again. We see patterns in colours, shapes, sounds, and actions. When we copy a pattern, we do the same thing again in the same order.
Example

Remember
To copy a pattern: 1) Look at the first few items. 2) Find what part repeats. 3) Continue the pattern in the same order. Patterns help us predict what comes next!
