Finish the Pattern

Finish the Pattern asks learners to inspect each picture sequence, determine the repeating unit, and choose the image that belongs in the blank. The required pieces are printed on the same page for cutting and pasting into place. Because the patterns use visual symbols rather than numerals or words, every response is checked by whether the completed sequence continues its established repetition.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Identify the repeating unit in a visual pattern
Predict which picture continues each sequence
Cut and paste the selected image into the correct open position

Teaching tips

Read each sequence aloud by naming its pictures before selecting a cut-out piece.
Cover the answer pieces while learners predict what should come next, then reveal them for matching.
Check the completed row from the beginning to confirm that the pasted picture preserves the repeat.

Skills covered

Pattern recognition — learners determine the unit repeated in each picture sequence.
Sequence completion — the missing position is filled with the image that continues the established order.
Cut-and-paste placement — selected pieces are attached to the corresponding open pattern spaces.
