Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognise a two-element AB repeat in a row of pictures

  • Continue an AB sequence by working out which of the two elements comes next

Teaching tips

  • All five sheets carry the same heading and the same structure, so the first can be worked through with a child as a model and the remaining four handed over

  • The pattern elements are emoji faces rather than abstract shapes, which lets a child name each element aloud before deciding which comes next

  • The set stays on AB throughout, so it works as the first step before longer repeats are introduced from another source

Skills covered

  • Pattern recognition — students read a two-element AB repeat across a printed row and identify the rule governing it.

  • Continuing a sequence — each exercise asks what comes next in an AB run rather than simply naming the pattern.

  • Reading pictures as symbols — the pattern elements are emoji graphics, so a familiar picture stands in for an abstract term such as A or B.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Which type of pattern do the sheets use?

AB throughout. The cover and all five worksheets are headed AB PATTERNS, a two-element alternation. Longer repeats such as ABB or ABA are not part of this set, so it sits at the entry point of pattern work rather than covering the range.
