Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pattern?
A pattern is a design, shape, or number sequence that repeats or grows following a specific rule.
How do I find the missing number in a number pattern?
First, look at the first few numbers to find the difference or rule (like adding 3 each time), then apply that rule to find the missing number.
Are patterns only found in numbers and shapes?
No, patterns are all around us in nature, such as in flower petals, leaves, butterfly wings, and daily routines.
