Section 4: Completing Patterns (Bottom)
There are two pattern sequences to complete.
#####
Pattern 1:
- Sequence: Square, Circle, Square, Circle, Square, ____, ____
-
Observation: The pattern alternates between a square and a circle.
1.
Continue the pattern:
- After the last square, the next shape should be a
circle.
- After the circle, the next shape should be a
square.
2.
Answer:
- The completed pattern is: Square, Circle, Square, Circle, Square,
Circle,
Square.
#####
Pattern 2:
- Sequence: Square, Triangle, Octagon, Circle, Square, Triangle, ____, ____
-
Observation: The pattern cycles through four different shapes: Square → Triangle → Octagon → Circle.
1.
Continue the pattern:
- After the last triangle, the next shape should be an
octagon.
- After the octagon, the next shape should be a
circle.
2.
Answer:
- The completed pattern is: Square, Triangle, Octagon, Circle, Square, Triangle,
Octagon,
Circle.
