What's on the worksheet
- Look at each pattern. Circle the picture that comes next.
Skills practiced
Spotting a pattern means noticing what repeats and predicting what follows, one of the first kinds of algebraic thinking. Each row uses snowmen, mittens, snowflakes and hats in a repeating order: AB, AAB, ABB or ABC. Your child reads the row from left to right, finds the part that repeats and picks the next picture from three choices. Saying the pattern out loud builds the rhythm, and moving from two-part to three-part patterns gives a gentle step up.

Short descriptions in our own words. About our standards.
How to use it, step by step
- Read the pattern out loud together, like a chant.
- Your child finds the part that repeats (for example: apple, pear).
- Say which picture comes next, after the question mark.
- Circle the right picture from the choices on the right.
Tips for parents and teachers
Ask your child to read each row aloud, like "snowman, mitten, snowman, mitten," and to clap on each picture. Many children pick the picture that was last instead of the one that comes next; if that happens, point to the start of the repeating part and read it again together. Praise the explanation, not just the answer.
Make it easier or harder
Easier: Cover the last three rows and work on the AB patterns first. Build the same patterns with two kinds of real objects, like spoons and cups, before circling.
Harder: Ask your child to say the next three pictures, not just one, and then draw a new winter pattern of their own using two or three pictures.
