REPEATING
AND GROWING
PATTERNS
WHAT IS A REPEATING
PATTERN?
Definition:
 The same grouping over and over.
 The pattern never changes.
 The pattern can have` long or
short units.
 The pattern can include any items

 numbers, shapes, or colors.
REPEATING NUMBER PATTERNS
 Repeating patterns can be
number patterns.
 They can have as little as one
number.
 Example: 1 1 1 1 1
 They can have many numbers.
 Example: 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4

unit
unit

Growing:
Unit changes every time it repeats.
