Number and Letter Patterns

Continue patterns like 1, 2, 1, 2 and A, B, C, A, B, C.

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

What children learn in Level 42

Numbers can make patterns: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. What comes next? 1!
Letters can make patterns too: A, B, C, A, B, C. The part that repeats is A, B, C.
This pattern goes X, O, X, O, like a game of tic-tac-toe. What comes next? X!
Your turn! Keep it going: 1, 1, 2. Tap the next three.
Try it with a grown-up! Say a pattern out loud, like 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. Can the grown-up say what comes next?
