Complete the Shape Patterns | Worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve each pattern step by step. The goal is to identify the repeating pattern and then draw the next shape in the sequence.

1.

Pattern:
🟦 △ 🟦 △ 🟦

- Shapes: Square, Triangle, Square, Triangle, Square
- Alternating between square and triangle, starting with square.
- So the pattern is: Square → Triangle → Square → Triangle → Square → ...

✔ Next shape: Triangle (△)

---

2.

Pattern:
🟨 ○ 🟨 ○ 🟨

- Shapes: Rectangle, Circle, Rectangle, Circle, Rectangle
- Alternating between rectangle and circle, starting with rectangle.
- Pattern: Rectangle → Circle → Rectangle → Circle → Rectangle → ...

✔ Next shape: Circle (○)

3.

Pattern:
△ ○ □ △ ○

- Shapes: Triangle, Oval, Square, Triangle, Oval
- Sequence: Triangle → Oval → Square → Triangle → Oval
- Let's look at positions:
- 1: Triangle
- 2: Oval
- 3: Square
- 4: Triangle
- 5: Oval
- It seems like it's repeating every 3 shapes:
△ → ○ → □ → △ → ○ → ...

So the cycle is: △, ○, □

After △, ○ comes next — but we already have △, ○, so next should be □ (square)

✔ Next shape: Square (□)

4.

Pattern:
⬜ △ ⭘ ⬜ △

- Shapes: Square, Triangle, Circle, Square, Triangle
- Sequence: Square → Triangle → Circle → Square → Triangle
- Looks like it might be repeating every 3 shapes?

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

So far:
Square → Triangle → Circle → Square → Triangle

This suggests a possible repeating group of 3:
Square → Triangle → Circle

Then again: Square → Triangle → ?

So after Triangle, next should be Circle (⭕)

✔ Next shape: Circle (⭕)

5.

Pattern:
❤️ ❤️ △ ❤️ ❤️

- Shapes: Heart, Heart, Triangle, Heart, Heart
- Sequence: Heart → Heart → Triangle → Heart → Heart
- So the pattern appears to be: Heart, Heart, Triangle, repeating

Let’s check:
- 1: Heart
- 2: Heart
- 3: Triangle
- 4: Heart
- 5: Heart

So after two hearts, a triangle comes. Then the cycle repeats.

So after two hearts, the next should be Triangle (△)

✔ Next shape: Triangle (△)

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. Triangle (△)
2. Circle (○)
3. Square (□)
4. Circle (⭕)
5. Triangle (△)

Now, if you were to draw these, you would place the correct shape in the blank box after each sequence.
