Complete the Patterns
In this patterning instructional activity, 1st graders complete 4 patterns that are formed of black line pictures of plane figures. They trace the figures in the first example and draw the figure that complete the patterns in the last 3.
Curated OER
Complete the Patterns
In this patterns worksheet, students analyze the geometric shapes in each of 5 rows. Students determine the pattern and then draw the next three shapes that would continue the sequence.
Curated OER
Complete the Patterns
In this patterns worksheet, learners analyze a row of geometric shapes in a pattern. Students draw the next three shapes that would come in the sequence. There are 5 problems.
