This worksheet helps young learners practice identifying geometric patterns by tracing shapes and determining which figure comes next in the sequence.

Looking at each row, I need to find the repeating pattern and determine what shape comes last.

Row 1: Triangle, square (dashed), triangle, square (dashed)
→ Pattern: Triangle, square, triangle, square
→ Last shape should be: Triangle

Row 2: Square, circle, triangle, square
→ Pattern: Square, circle, triangle, square, circle, triangle...
→ But we have only 4 shapes shown. Let’s see: square, circle, triangle, then square again — so it repeats every 3? Wait, no — actually, looking at positions:
Position 1: square
Position 2: circle
Position 3: triangle
Position 4: square → same as position 1
So pattern is: square, circle, triangle, and then it repeats.
But since there are only 4 boxes, and the 4th is square, the next one (if there were more) would be circle — but we’re asked for the last in the sequence given? No — wait, the instruction says “draw the shape that comes last” — meaning complete the pattern by adding the next one? Or identify the missing one?

Actually, re-reading: “Trace the shapes. Look at each pattern and draw the shape that comes last.”

Each row has 4 boxes. The first three are filled with solid lines, the fourth is dashed — meaning you trace it? But the instruction says “draw the shape that comes last” — implying the fourth box is incomplete and you need to figure out what should go there based on the pattern.

Wait — looking again: In Row 1: Box 1: solid triangle, Box 2: dashed square, Box 3: solid triangle, Box 4: dashed square. So perhaps the dashed ones are to be traced, but the pattern is alternating triangle and square. So the last one (box 4) is already a square — so maybe no action? But that doesn’t make sense.

Alternatively, perhaps the dashed boxes are placeholders for you to draw the correct shape to complete the pattern. But in Row 1, box 2 and 4 are dashed squares — which fit the pattern. Similarly, Row 2: box 2 and 4 are dashed — box 2 is circle, box 4 is square — and the pattern is square, circle, triangle, square — so box 4 being square fits.

Wait — let me check Row 3: Circle, hexagon, hexagon, circle — so pattern might be circle, hexagon, hexagon, circle — then it would repeat? But we have only 4 boxes. The last one is circle — which matches the start.

Perhaps the task is to recognize the pattern and confirm what should be in the last box — but since they’re already drawn (even if dashed), maybe the student just traces them? But the instruction says “draw the shape that comes last” — implying you need to add it.

I think I misinterpreted. Looking at the image description again: Each row has 4 boxes. The first and third are solid shapes, the second and fourth are dashed outlines of shapes. The student is to trace the dashed shapes? But the instruction says “draw the shape that comes last” — which suggests that the last box (fourth) is to be filled by the student based on the pattern.

But in the image, all four boxes have shapes — some solid, some dashed. Perhaps the dashed ones are meant to be traced, and the pattern is already complete? That doesn’t require solving.

Another possibility: Maybe the dashed boxes are incorrect or need to be replaced? But that seems unlikely.

Let me read the instruction carefully: “Trace the shapes. Look at each pattern and draw the shape that comes last.”

Perhaps “trace the shapes” means to trace over the existing ones (including dashed), and “draw the shape that comes last” means to add a fifth shape? But the worksheet shows only 4 boxes per row.

This is confusing. Let me look for a different interpretation.

Perhaps in each row, the pattern is established by the first three shapes, and the fourth is to be determined by the student — but in the image, the fourth is already drawn (dashed). So maybe the student is to verify or trace it.

But the user is asking to "solve the problem", so likely they want to know what shape should be in the last position for each row, assuming the pattern continues.

Let’s assume that for each row, the first three shapes define the pattern, and the fourth is what the student needs to draw to complete the pattern. But in the image, the fourth is already there — so perhaps it's a trick, or perhaps the dashed ones are to be traced, and the pattern is correct.

I think I need to consider that the dashed boxes are the ones the student should draw, and they are already correct based on the pattern. So for each row, the last shape (fourth box) is as shown, and the student traces it.

But then there's nothing to "solve" — it's just tracing.

Unless... perhaps in some rows, the fourth shape is not following the pattern, and the student needs to correct it? But the image shows them as given.

Another idea: Perhaps "the shape that comes last" means the next shape after the fourth one — but the worksheet doesn't show a fifth box.

I recall that in such worksheets, often the pattern is shown with some shapes filled and the last one empty or dashed, and the student fills it in. In this case, for each row, the fourth box is dashed, meaning it's to be filled by the student based on the pattern of the first three.

But in Row 1: shapes are triangle, square, triangle — so pattern is alternating, so fourth should be square — which is what's shown (dashed square).

Similarly, Row 2: square, circle, triangle — so pattern might be repeating every three, so fourth should be square — which is shown.

Row 3: circle, hexagon, hexagon — so pattern could be circle, hexagon, hexagon, then repeat? So fourth should be circle — which is shown.

Row 4: triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle — all same, so fourth is triangle — shown.

Row 5: circle, triangle, hexagon, circle — so pattern might be circle, triangle, hexagon, circle — so fourth is circle — shown.

So in all cases, the fourth shape is correctly placed according to the pattern. Therefore, the student just needs to trace the dashed shapes, which are already correct.

But the user is asking to "solve the problem", so perhaps they want to know what shape is in the last position for each row.

Since the task is to "draw the shape that comes last", and it's already drawn (dashed), the answer is simply to trace those shapes.

For the purpose of this response, since the user wants the solution, I'll provide what shape should be in the last box for each row, which is what is shown.

So for each row, the last shape is:

Row 1: Square
Row 2: Square
Row 3: Circle
Row 4: Triangle
Row 5: Circle

But let's double-check Row 2: shapes are square, circle, triangle, and then square — so if the pattern is repeating every three, the fourth should be square, which is correct.

Row 3: circle, hexagon, hexagon, circle — if the pattern is circle, hexagon, hexagon, then it repeats, so fourth is circle — correct.

Row 5: circle, triangle, hexagon, circle — so pattern might be circle, triangle, hexagon, then repeat, so fourth is circle — correct.

So no correction needed; the patterns are already complete with the fourth shape as shown.

Therefore, the student should trace the dashed shapes in the fourth box of each row, which are:

- Row 1: Square
- Row 2: Square
- Row 3: Circle
- Row 4: Triangle
- Row 5: Circle

Since the instruction is to "draw the shape that comes last", and it's already indicated, the answer is to draw those shapes.

For the final answer, I'll list them.

Final Answer:
Row 1: Square
Row 2: Square
Row 3: Circle
Row 4: Triangle
Row 5: Circle
