Shape Patterns - Two Worksheets / FREE Printable Worksheets ... - Free Printable

Let's solve the pattern problem step by step.

We are given a series of shapes arranged in rows. The task is to circle the shape that comes next in the sequence.

Here’s the image layout (as described):

```
Row 1: ◊ □ ◊ □ ◊ □
Row 2: ★ △ ★ △ ★ △
Row 3: ○ ♡ ○ ♡ ○ ♡
Row 4: ▭ ○ ▭ ○ ▭ ○
Row 5: ◁ ◆ ◁ ◆ ◁ ◆
Row 6: ♡ ◆ ♡ ◆ ♡ ◆
```

Each row has a repeating pattern of two shapes. Let's analyze each row:

---

Row 1:

◊ □ ◊ □ ◊ □
Pattern: Alternating diamond (◊) and square (□)
→ Next shape: ◊ (diamond)

But wait — the last shape shown is □, so after □ comes ◊.

So the next shape in this row would be ◊.

---

Row 2:

★ △ ★ △ ★ △
Pattern: Alternating star (★) and triangle (△)
→ After △ comes ★

So next: ★

---

Row 3:

○ ♡ ○ ♡ ○ ♡
Pattern: Alternating circle (○) and heart (♡)
→ After ♡ comes ○

Next: ○

---

Row 4:

▭ ○ ▭ ○ ▭ ○
Pattern: Alternating rectangle (▭) and circle (○)
→ After ○ comes ▭

Next: ▭

---

Row 5:

◁ ◆ ◁ ◆ ◁ ◆
Note: "◁" is likely a pentagon (or a rotated shape), and "◆" is a diamond.
Assuming ◁ = pentagon, ◆ = diamond

Pattern: Pentagon, Diamond, Pentagon, Diamond...
→ After ◆ comes pentagon (◁)

Next: ◁

---

Row 6:

♡ ◆ ♡ ◆ ♡ ◆
Pattern: Heart (♡), Diamond (◆), repeat
→ After ◆ comes ♡

Next: ♡

---

Now, the instruction says: "Circle the shape that comes next."

Since there are multiple rows, and the question likely refers to the final row, or perhaps it's asking for the next shape in the last row, we should focus on Row 6, which ends with ◆.

So the sequence in Row 6 is:
♡ ◆ ♡ ◆ ♡ ◆ → next should be ♡

✔ Therefore, the shape that comes next is ♡ (heart).

---

✔ Final Answer: Heart (♡)

You should circle the heart as the next shape in the pattern.
