🧩 Patterns

A pattern is something that repeats in a rule. Two common kinds:
• Repeating pattern — the same group repeats, like 🔵🔴🔵🔴…
• Growing pattern — it gets bigger by the same amount each time, like 2, 4, 6, 8…

To continue a pattern, find the rule (what repeats or what is added) and apply it.

In a number pattern, look at the gap between numbers to find the rule. The rule can be add, subtract, or multiply.
• 3, 6, 9, 12 → rule is +3.
• 40, 35, 30, 25 → rule is −5.
• 1, 2, 4, 8 → rule is ×2 (doubling).
