What Are Similar Patterns?
Patterns are everywhere!
A pattern is when shapes, colors, or objects repeat in the same way. Similar patterns follow the same
rules but might look a little different. Can you spot the patterns around you?
How to Find Similar Patterns
1️⃣ Look at the first few items carefully
2️⃣ Find what stays the same and what changes
3️⃣ Predict what comes next in the pattern
