Summer Sequences: Extend the Growing Shape Pattern

Step into summer with this sequence and pattern worksheet! Four sets of images will show students the first four terms of a growing pattern made of fun summer shapes, like starfish and beach balls. Learners will need to determine what the fifth term in each pattern should look like, then draw it. 

Intended for fourth graders, this worksheet is a great way to challenge students’ pattern recognition and critical thinking skills. Learners will need to look closely at each term in the sequences to identify how the number and arrangement of objects changes from one term to the next. Strong pattern recognition skills are vital for students as they learn more advanced math concepts!
