Patterns Resources

Help students build foundational math and logic skills with Education.com’s collection of over 400 resources focused on recognizing and understanding patterns, designed for preschool through fourth grade. With worksheets, games, workbooks, lesson plans, and more, learners explore sequences of colors, shapes, and numbers through developmentally appropriate, standards-aligned activities.

Young learners can begin with AB, AAB, and ABC pattern recognition using visual activities like coloring and cut-and-paste worksheets. We offer a wide variety of color pattern and shape pattern resources to keep students engaged and motivated as they develop patterning skills. These early resources support fine motor development while introducing basic sequencing skills. As learners advance through the grades, they encounter higher-level concepts with number patterns , such as skip counting and number sequences, which build number sense and fluency. Recognizing and practicing skip counting patterns prepares students to tackle multiplication facts and builds understanding that is essential for more complex mathematical topics like equivalent ratios and linear equations. For additional challenge and skill-building, third and fourth graders can work with input/output tables and function tables to explore early algebraic thinking and strengthen logical reasoning.

These resources are designed to support varied learning styles in both classrooms and homeschool environments. Seasonal themes, including spring, Easter, and St. Patrick’s Day, add fun and relevance throughout the year. Use easy-to-navigate filters to search by grade, topic, or activity type and find the right pattern practice for every learner.
