What Comes Next?

Continue AB patterns of colors and shapes.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 40

A pattern repeats, over and over. Red, blue, red, blue, red, blue. What comes next? Red!
Shapes can make patterns too: star, heart, star, heart. Say it out loud to hear the pattern.
Patterns can go up and down! Up, down, up, down. What comes next? Up!
Your turn! Keep the pattern going: dog, cat, dog, cat. Tap the next two.
Try it with a grown-up! Make a pattern with claps and stomps: clap, stomp, clap, stomp. What comes next?

Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:

K.PAR.6.1 — Create, extend, and describe repeating patterns with numbers and shapes, and explain the rationale for the pattern.
