About pattern worksheets
Patterns are one of the first ways children learn that the world follows rules. On each sheet, kids look at a row of shapes or pictures, work out what repeats, and circle the piece that fills the empty box. It's a quick, satisfying puzzle that works well as a warm-up before other learning.
Every page starts with a solved example, so children see exactly what to do before they begin. Print as many as you like: the patterns change every time, and older kids get longer rules and number patterns to crack. The answer key shows every solution.
What each level covers
- Preschool
Short AB and ABC patterns with friendly shapes or pictures, and three answers to choose from.
- Kindergarten
Patterns like AAB and ABB with pictures and colorful shapes. The missing piece is always at the end.
- 1st Grade & 2nd Grade
Longer rules such as AABB and ABCD. Sometimes the gap is in the middle of the row, not at the end.
- 3rd Grade & 4th Grade & 5th Grade
Tricky picture patterns plus number patterns that add, take away or double, with the rule explained in the answer key.
