Let’s go row by row and find the pattern in each one. The goal is to figure out what comes next in each ABC pattern.
---
Row 1: Letters — A B C A B _
Pattern: A, B, C → then repeats: A, B, ?
After A, B should come
C (because it’s repeating ABC).
✔ Next letter:
C
---
Row 2: Numbers — 1 2 3 1 2 _
Pattern: 1, 2, 3 → then repeats: 1, 2, ?
After 1, 2 should come
3.
✔ Next number:
3
---
Row 3: Shapes — ○ □ △ ○ □ _
Pattern: Circle, Square, Triangle → then repeats: Circle, Square, ?
After Circle, Square should come
Triangle.
✔ Next shape:
△
---
Row 4: Rectangles & Triangles — ▭ △ ○ ▭ △ _
Wait — let’s look again:
Actually, looking at the shapes:
First: rectangle
Second: triangle
Third: circle
Fourth: rectangle
Fifth: triangle
Sixth: ?
So pattern is: ▭, △, ○ → repeat → so after ▭, △ should come
○
✔ Next shape:
○
*(Note: In the image, third item is a circle, fourth is rectangle, fifth is triangle — yes, same as first three. So sixth must be circle.)*
---
Row 5: Dice-like squares — [4 dots] [1 dot] [2 dots] [4 dots] [1 dot] _
Pattern: 4-dot square, 1-dot square, 2-dot square → repeat → so after 4, 1 should come
2
✔ Next:
[2 dots]
---
Row 6: Icons — 🌸 ❤️ 🌸 _
Pattern: Flower, Gift, Heart → repeat → after Flower, Gift should come
Heart
✔ Next icon:
❤️
---
Row 7: Stick figures — 👧 👦 👫 👧 👦 _
Pattern: Girl, Boy, Couple → repeat → after Girl, Boy should come
Couple
✔ Next:
---
Now, for “Make your own ABC pattern” — you can make any simple 3-item repeating pattern.
Example: Red, Blue, Green → Red, Blue, Green...
But since we’re not asked to solve that part, we’ll leave it blank unless instructed.

Final Answer:
For each row, the missing item is:
Row 1:
C
Row 2:
3
Row 3:
△
Row 4:
○
Row 5:
[square with 2 dots]
Row 6:
❤️
Row 7:
👫
Since the worksheet asks to “Show what comes next in the pattern,” and there are 7 rows with blanks, here’s the final answer formatted clearly:
──────────────────────────────────────
Final Answer:
C
