Description
Circles, triangles, stars, and hearts give young learners two skills in one: naming 2D figures and spotting the rule that orders them. Rows repeat, expand step by step, and switch into letters, so students explain their thinking instead of guessing. A geometry friendly, no prep set for rotation stations, assessment days, or the first week back after a break.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
The sheets go from easier to harder, so early learners and advanced learners can work in the same shape theme at the same time.
Kindergarten and 1st grade students move from repeating patterns to naming them with letters, translating them, finding mistakes, growing patterns, and number patterns.
Name the Pattern and Find the Mistake give you a quick check of who understands the pattern rule.
MORE WAYS TO PLAY
► Cut shapes from colored paper and line them up in a pattern.
► Go on a shape hunt around the room and build a pattern with what you find.
