What Is a Pattern?
What is a pattern? A pattern is something that repeats over and over again! For example, if we say red, blue, red, blue — that’s a pattern! Or if we clap, stomp, clap, stomp — that’s a pattern too! Patterns can be found everywhere around us, like in nature, art, and even in music! Once you understand the rule of a pattern, you can guess what comes next. Isn’t that exciting? Patterns help us make sense of the world and can be fun to create! Let’s look for patterns in our clothes, toys, or even when we play games. Can you think of a pattern you see every day? Let’s explore together and discover the wonderful world of patterns!
