Pattern Recognition Challenge

Characteristics of Patterns

• Repeating is a characteristic of a pattern, but randomness is not
• A pattern can be growing, but it must have a rule or relationship between the elements

Growing Patterns

• A growing pattern is a pattern that increases or decreases in size, shape, or number
• It can be found in real-world situations, such as the growth of a population or the increase in the size of a building

Finding Growing Patterns

• A rule or relationship between the elements can be used to find a growing pattern
• Tables, charts, and graphs can also be used to identify and illustrate growing patterns

Test your pattern recognition skills with this quiz! From pictures and shapes to numbers and objects, see if you can identify the growing patterns. Challenge yourself to spot the constant unit that increases or decreases as the pattern repeats or changes.
