Learning patterns are very important among young children.Patterns repeat in a logical way, such as numbers, images or shapes. Understanding and identifying patterns help children make predictions and develop their reasoning skills. It also helps children learn how to make connections between materials.

The skill of sorting and identifying patterns has a huge connection to math, specifically algebra. A child who has developed these skills will find it easier to identify sets, compare sets, and understand how rules apply to sets.

Golden Kids Learning has Patterns of Shapes Worksheet activities that focus on identifying patterns, drawing shapes, and colors. These worksheets can be printed out and completed by the child for fun and enjoyable daily practice.
