Let's solve each problem step by step:
---
1) Finish off the next 2 faces in the pattern
The sequence of faces is:
- Sad face (two dots)
- Happy face (smile)
- Sad face (two dots)
- Happy face (smile)
- Sad face (two dots)
- Happy face (smile)
- Sad face (two dots)
The pattern alternates between a sad face and a happy face. The last face shown is a sad face, so the next two faces should be:
- Happy face
- Sad face
Answer:
- Happy face (smile)
- Sad face (two dots)
---
2) Write the next 3 numbers in this pattern
The sequence is:
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4
The pattern repeats every 4 numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4. The last number shown is 4, so the next three numbers are:
1, 2, 3
Answer:
1, 2, 3

3) Shade the last 2 shapes to finish the pattern
The sequence of shapes and colors is:
- Blue square
- Yellow circle
- Red circle
- Blue square
- Yellow circle
- Red circle
- Blue square
- Yellow circle
- Red circle
The pattern alternates between a blue square, a yellow circle, and a red circle. The last shape shown is a yellow circle, so the next two shapes should be:
- Red circle
- Blue square
Answer:
- Red circle
- Blue square

4) Complete the last 2 dice patterns
The sequence of dice patterns is:
- One dot
- Two dots (diagonal)
- Three dots (triangle)
- One dot
- Two dots (diagonal)
- Three dots (triangle)
The pattern repeats every three dice: one dot, two dots (diagonal), three dots (triangle). The last die shown has three dots, so the next two dice should be:
- One dot
- Two dots (diagonal)
Answer:
- One dot
- Two dots (diagonal)
---
5) Shade the last 3 patterns
The sequence of shaded squares is:
- Gray square
- Yellow square
- Yellow square
- Gray square
- Yellow square
- Yellow square
- White square
- White square
The pattern alternates between:
- Gray square
- Two yellow squares
- Two white squares
The last two squares shown are white, so the next three squares should be:
- Gray square
- Yellow square
- Yellow square
Answer:
- Gray square
- Yellow square
- Yellow square
---
6) Write in the last 2 letters
The sequence of letters is:
X, Y, Z, X, Y, Z, X
The pattern repeats every three letters: X, Y, Z. The last letter shown is X, so the next two letters should be:
Y, Z
Answer:
Y, Z

Final Answers:
1. Happy face, Sad face
2. 1, 2, 3
3. Red circle, Blue square
4. One dot, Two dots (diagonal)
5. Gray square, Yellow square, Yellow square
6. Y, Z
Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{1. Happy face, Sad face} \\
\text{2. 1, 2, 3} \\
\text{3. Red circle, Blue square} \\
\text{4. One dot, Two dots (diagonal)} \\
\text{5. Gray square, Yellow square, Yellow square} \\
\text{6. Y, Z}
}
\]
