📖 1 of 2

Patterns and rules help us find order in numbers and shapes. A pattern is a sequence that repeats or follows a specific rule. For example, consider the pattern of even numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8. In this case, the rule is adding 2 each time. We can also see patterns in shapes, like triangles, squares, and circles arranged in a row. Recognizing patterns allows us to predict what comes next.
