Repeating Patterns

A repeating pattern has a unit that occurs again and again in the same order. Find the smallest repeating unit before deciding what comes next.

Key ideas

  • identify a repeating unit
  • continue AB and ABC patterns
  • copy a pattern
  • find a missing item
  • describe what repeats

Worked example: red, blue, red, blue has the unit red–blue.

Common trap: Do not use the whole displayed sequence as the repeating unit if a smaller unit repeats.

Key words

pattern — an arrangement following a rule
repeat — happen again
unit — the smallest part that repeats
next — what follows
same order — unchanged sequence
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 30 attempts on the same browser.
