Step-by-step solution for: Patterns - UKG Math Worksheets
Let's solve each pattern step by step in the Shapes Worksheet. The goal is to identify the repeating pattern and choose the correct shape(s) from the options given in the box to continue it.
---
We look for:
- Repeating sequence of shapes (square, circle, star)
- Repeating sequence of colors
- Both shape and color may follow a cycle
Let’s go through each one:
---
Sequence:
🟩 Square → 🟪 Circle → 🟦 Star → 🟩 Square → ___
Pattern:
Square (pink), Circle (purple), Star (teal), Square (pink) — then repeats?
Wait: First shape is pink square, then purple circle, teal star, then again pink square.
So far:
Pink Square → Purple Circle → Teal Star → Pink Square
This suggests the pattern might be:
[Pink Square, Purple Circle, Teal Star] → repeat?
But after the 4th shape (pink square), we're at the start of a new cycle.
So next should be: Purple Circle, then Teal Star, etc.
But only two options are given:
👉 Option: Purple Circle + Pink Square
Since the last shape was Pink Square, next should be Purple Circle.
✔ So the next shape is Purple Circle.
> ✔ Answer: Purple Circle
---
Sequence:
🔴 Circle → 🟦 Star → 🟨 Square → 🔴 Circle → ___
Pattern:
Circle (red), Star (teal), Square (orange), Circle (red)
So: Red Circle → Teal Star → Orange Square → Red Circle
It repeats every 3 shapes? Wait:
1. Red Circle
2. Teal Star
3. Orange Square
4. Red Circle ← same as first
So it seems like the pattern is:
Red Circle → Teal Star → Orange Square → Red Circle → ?
Now it's back to Red Circle, so next should be Teal Star, then Orange Square, etc.
Given options:
👉 Teal Star + Orange Square
We need only one shape next — so Teal Star
✔ Answer: Teal Star
---
Sequence:
🟧 Star → 🟪 Square → 🟦 Circle → 🟧 Star → ___
Pattern:
Orange Star → Purple Square → Teal Circle → Orange Star
So: Orange Star → Purple Square → Teal Circle → Orange Star
Now that we’re back to Orange Star, the next should be Purple Square, then Teal Circle, etc.
Given options:
👉 Purple Square + Orange Star
We need Purple Square next.
✔ Answer: Purple Square
---
Sequence:
🟥 Square → 🟧 Star → 🟩 Circle → 🟥 Square → ___
Pattern:
Red Square → Orange Star → Pink Circle → Red Square
So: Red Square → Orange Star → Pink Circle → Red Square
Now it's back to Red Square → next should be Orange Star
Options:
👉 Orange Star + Pink Circle
We need Orange Star next.
✔ Answer: Orange Star
---
Sequence:
🟦 Circle → 🟪 Star → 🟨 Square → 🟦 Circle → ___
Pattern:
Teal Circle → Purple Star → Orange Square → Teal Circle
So: Teal Circle → Purple Star → Orange Square → Teal Circle
Now back to Teal Circle → next should be Purple Star
Options:
👉 Teal Circle + Purple Star
We need Purple Star next.
✔ Answer: Purple Star
---
Sequence:
🟪 Star → 🟨 Square → 🟦 Circle → 🟪 Star → ___
Pattern:
Pink Star → Yellow Square → Teal Circle → Pink Star
So: Pink Star → Yellow Square → Teal Circle → Pink Star
Back to Pink Star → next should be Yellow Square
Options:
👉 Yellow Square + Pink Star
We need Yellow Square next.
✔ Answer: Yellow Square
