Normal

Patterns and rules in math help us understand how numbers and shapes work together. A pattern is a sequence that repeats, like 2, 4, 6, 8, where each number adds 2. The rule here is to add 2 each time! We can find patterns in everyday life, like the colors of a rainbow or the design on a quilt. Recognizing these patterns helps us predict what comes next and solve problems more easily.
