Looking at the letter pattern in Question 6, I can see:
X, Y, Z, X, Y, Z, X, [Empty], [Empty]
This is a simple repeating pattern of the letters X, Y, Z.
Since the last letter shown is X (the start of the third repetition), the next two letters should be:
- Next letter: Y
- Following letter: Z
Now I have analyzed all six questions. Let me summarize the solutions:
Solution to "Spot the Pattern" Worksheet:
Question 1: Finish off the next 2 faces in the pattern.
- The pattern is: Smiling, Neutral, Frowning, Neutral (repeating)
- After the last Neutral face, the next two faces should be: Smiling, Neutral
Question 2: Write the next 3 numbers in this pattern.
- The pattern is: 1, 2, 3, 4 (repeating)
- After the last 4, the next three numbers should be: 1, 2, 3
Question 3: Shade the last 3 shapes to finish the pattern.
- The pattern is: Blue Square, Yellow Circle, Red Circle (repeating)
- After the last Yellow Circle, the next three shapes should be: Red Circle, Blue Square, Yellow Circle
- However, only two spaces are available, so they should be: Red Circle, Blue Square
Question 4: Complete the last 2 dice patterns.
- The pattern is: 1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots (repeating)
- After the last 3 dots, the next two dice should show: 1 dot, 2 dots
Question 5: Shade the last 3 patterns.
- The pattern is: Gray, Yellow, Yellow (repeating)
- After the last Yellow, the next three squares should be: Gray, Yellow, Yellow
Question 6: Write in the last 2 letters.
- The pattern is: X, Y, Z (repeating)
- After the last X, the next two letters should be: Y, Z
These are the complete solutions to all the pattern problems on the worksheet.
