Part of Maths3D shapesYear 3
Look at the shapes below.
Say the name of each aloud and see if you can spot a pattern.
Here we have a square, a circle and a triangle.
We're going to use them to form a pattern.
This is the pattern formed by the shapes.
Can you work out what the missing shapes are?
Pick the correct answer.
B is the correct answer.
The pattern is square, circle, triangle and this is repeated again so square, circle, triangle, square, circle, triangle.
This pattern is made of 3D shapes.
It is a mirror pattern which means it is the same backwards as it is forwards.
Starting on the left, the pattern is cube, cylinder, pyramid, cuboid, pyramid, cylinder, cube.
If you start from the right, the pattern is the same.
Patterns of 2D shapes
This activity will help you practise working with repeating patterns.
Remember, the first thing you need to do is work out the part of the pattern that repeats!
