Problem-Solving Strategy: Find a Pattern: Problem Solving
In this math patterns worksheet, students use the understand, plan, solve, and look back problem solving strategy to help them find the patterns for the two problems.
Curated OER
Complete the Patterns
In this patterns worksheet, learners 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 instructional activity, students 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.
