Step-by-step solution for: Grade 3 Pattern Worksheets | Free Printables | Math Worksheets
I'll solve this picture pattern worksheet by analyzing each row and determining the correct image to complete the sequence.
Let me examine each pattern one by one:
First row (arrows):
- Pattern: Yellow left arrow, Green right arrow, Yellow left arrow, Green right arrow, Yellow left arrow, Green right arrow
- This is an alternating pattern of yellow left arrow and green right arrow
- The next in sequence should be a yellow left arrow
Second row (shapes):
- Pattern: Blue circle, Yellow square, Red triangle (stacked vertically)
- Then: Yellow square, Red triangle, Blue circle (stacked vertically)
- Then: Red triangle, Blue circle, Yellow square (stacked vertically)
- This appears to be a rotation pattern where each shape moves down one position, with the bottom shape moving to the top
- Following this pattern, the next should be: Blue circle, Yellow square, Red triangle (same as first)
Third row (symbols):
- Pattern: Red X, Blue plus, Red circle
- Then: Red circle, Blue plus, Red X
- Then: Blue plus, Red X, Red circle
- This looks like the symbols are rotating positions (left to middle, middle to right, right to left)
- Next should be: Red X, Blue plus, Red circle (same as first)
Fourth row (weather symbols):
- Pattern: Gray cloud, Blue crescent moon, Yellow sun
- Then: Blue crescent moon, Yellow sun, Gray cloud
- Then: Yellow sun, Gray cloud, Blue crescent moon
- This is a rotation pattern where each symbol moves left one position, with the leftmost moving to the right
- Next should be: Gray cloud, Blue crescent moon, Yellow sun (same as first)
Fifth row (math symbols):
- Pattern: Green plus, Red minus, Black multiplication, Blue equals
- Then: Red minus, Black multiplication, Blue equals, Green plus
- Then: Black multiplication, Blue equals, Green plus, Red minus
- This is a rotation pattern where each symbol moves left one position, with the leftmost moving to the right
- Next should be: Blue equals, Green plus, Red minus, Black multiplication
Sixth row (shapes with inner shapes):
- Pattern: Green square with blue circle inside, Yellow triangle with blue square inside, Blue circle with yellow triangle inside
- Looking at the pattern, it seems each outer shape contains the next shape in the sequence as its inner shape
- Square → Circle → Triangle → Square...
- The next should follow this pattern: the outer shape should be a yellow triangle (following the blue circle), and it should contain a green square (following the yellow triangle)
Wait, let me reconsider the sixth row more carefully. Looking at the sequence:
1. Green square with blue circle inside
2. Yellow triangle with blue square inside
3. Blue circle with yellow triangle inside
The pattern appears to be that the inner shape of one becomes the outer shape of the next, and the color of the outer shape follows a pattern (green → yellow → blue → ?).
Actually, looking at it again, the outer shapes are cycling: square → triangle → circle → square...
And the inner shapes are: circle → square → triangle → circle...
So the next should be: Green square with blue circle inside (same as first)
Let me verify my answers for all rows:
1. First row: Yellow left arrow
2. Second row: Blue circle, Yellow square, Red triangle (stacked)
3. Third row: Red X, Blue plus, Red circle
4. Fourth row: Gray cloud, Blue crescent moon, Yellow sun
5. Fifth row: Blue equals, Green plus, Red minus, Black multiplication
6. Sixth row: Green square with blue circle inside
I believe these are the correct completions for each pattern.
