Help me choose

Choose a pattern-only task or a worksheet that also includes sorting. Say the repeating unit aloud before selecting the next card.

Toy patterns: AB, AAB and ABC

Use ball, bear, car and drum pictures to finish three sequences. One extra answer piece means you need to check the rule.

An autumn pattern task

Use acorn-and-leaf cards to complete the three printed patterns. Place all six cards before checking the answer guide.

Sort first, then repeat

The fruit and turtle-and-fish worksheets begin with size sorting, then move on to two repeating patterns.

Can these worksheets be used in kindergarten?

They can support a guided kindergarten pattern activity when the pictured rules suit the learner. Preview the task first and provide help with scissors; difficulty varies by worksheet.

Should every cut-out card be used?

Follow the rule on the selected sheet. The toy-pattern worksheet deliberately includes one extra answer piece, so using every card is not the goal.
