Repeating and Growing Patterns

This document defines and provides examples of repeating and growing patterns. Repeating patterns have a sequence that repeats without change, while growing patterns add to the sequence each time it repeats. Examples of repeating patterns include sequences of numbers, shapes, and colors. Growing patterns demonstrate a number, shape, or color being added in each sequential repetition. The key difference between the two types of patterns is whether the sequence remains the same or changes by adding elements.

WHAT IS A REPEATING
PATTERN?
Definition:
The same grouping over and over
The pattern never changes
It can be long/short sequences
Can include any items
Examples: Numbers, Shapes, Colors

REPEATING NUMBER
PATTERNS
Repeating patterns can be
numbers patterns
Can have as little as one number
Example: 1 1 1 1 1

Can have many numbers

Example: 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4

REPEATING SHAPE PATTERN


Can consist of one shapes
Example:

Can have many shapes


Example:

REPEATING COLOR PATTERNS


Repeating patterns can be color patterns
The same color sequence repeats itself
Examples:

WHAT IS A GROWING
PATTERN?
Definition:
A pattern that increases every sequence
Something is added to the pattern
Can occur anywhere:
Nature
Classroom
Art

GROWING NUMBER PATTERN


In growing number patterns:
A number is added every
sequence
It can start with one number
Example:
1 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5

GROWING SHAPE PATTERN


In growing shape patterns:
A shape is added every sequence
Shapes can be harder then
numbers
Example:

GROWING COLOR PATTERN


In growing color patterns:
A color is added every sequence
Can start with just one color
Example:

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
REPEATING AND GROWING
PATTERN

Repeating:

Sequence repeats and remains the same


Never add anything to the pattern

Growing:

Sequence changes every time it repeats


Adding something to the sequence

PROBLEM #1
Pattern:

#1:What pattern is this?

Repeating shape pattern!

#2:What shapes complete the last


sequence?

PROBLEM #2
Pattern:

#1:What pattern is this?


Growing color pattern!

#2:What is the next sequence?

MAKE YOUR OWN PATTERNS
