We can relate a pattern to any type of event or object. A pattern has a rule that tells us which objects belong to the pattern and which objects do not belong to the pattern. Let\u2019s look at some examples of patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pattern-image-1.png\" alt=\"Repeating circle and rectangle pattern\" class=\"wp-image-8316\" title=\"Repeating circle and rectangle pattern\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pattern-image-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pattern-image-1-300x177.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In the above image, the rule that is followed is that the circle is in the odd places and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/rectangle\" title=\"\">rectangle<\/a> is in the even places. So, the next figure in the pattern will be: \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-8-1.png\" alt=\"Circles growing pattern\" class=\"wp-image-8315\" title=\"Circles growing pattern\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-8-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-8-1-300x233.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-7-1.png\" alt=\"Circles growing pattern\" class=\"wp-image-8314\" title=\"Circles growing pattern\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-7-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-7-1-300x215.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Patterns exist all around us.

class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-infinite-patterns\">Infinite Patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">An infinite pattern is a sequence in which we know the first term but we don\u2019t know the last term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>For example:<\/strong> In the pattern 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, \u2026\u2026\u2026; the first term is 3 but we don\u2019t know where the pattern is going to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-rules-of-pattern\">Rules of Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">For creating a complete pattern, a certain set of rules need to be considered. For applying these rules, we should first understand the nature of the sequence and the difference between the two consecutive numbers given in the pattern. Some amount of guesswork is required and then we check to see whether the rule works throughout the whole pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The patterns can be formed using three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Repeating Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The type of pattern in which the rule keeps repeating over and over is called a repeating pattern. It is generally common in letter and shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Growing Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In a growing pattern, the numbers are placed in the increasing form or each number is greater than the previous number, then the pattern is known as a growing pattern. Example: 44, 50, 56, 62, \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shrinking Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In a shirking pattern, the numbers are placed in the decreasing form or each number is smaller than the previous number. Example: 40, 35, 30, 25 \u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-types-of-patterns\">Types of Patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">There are 3 types of pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Shape Pattern&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Letter Pattern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Number Pattern<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shape Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">When a group of shapes are repeated, the pattern or sequence is known as a shape pattern. Shape patterns follow a certain sequence or order of shapes, i.e., they are repeated. The shapes can be simple shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, etc., or other objects such as arrows, flowers, moons, and stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>For example:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vocab-image-3.png\" alt=\"Growing patten by adding 5\" class=\"wp-image-8313\" title=\"Growing patten by adding 5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vocab-image-3.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vocab-image-3-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In the above pattern, the arrow is getting rotated at 90\u00b0 and changes its color. Or, we can say that each colored shape is getting repeated after 2 shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Letter Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A sequence that consists of letters or English alphabets is known as a letter pattern. A letter pattern establishes a common relationship between all the letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>For example:<\/strong> A, C, E, G, I, K, M&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In the above pattern, one letter has been removed after every alphabet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Number Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The most common type of pattern in mathematics is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/number-sense\/number-patterns\" title=\"\">number pattern<\/a>, where a list of numbers follows a certain sequence based on a rule.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">There are different types of number patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Arithmetic Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Another name for arithmetic pattern is algebraic pattern. In such a pattern, the sequences are based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/addition\/addition\" title=\"\">addition<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/subtraction\/subtract\" title=\"\">subtraction<\/a> of the terms. If we know two or more terms in the sequence, then we can use addition or subtraction to find the arithmetic pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example 1: In the pattern 65, 64, 63, 62, 61, we are subtracting the consecutive numbers by 1 or each number gets decreased by 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example 2: In the pattern given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vocab-image-7.png\" alt=\"Growing patten by adding 5\" class=\"wp-image-8312\" title=\"Growing patten by adding 5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vocab-image-7.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vocab-image-7-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Each number is getting increased by 5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Geometric Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A sequence of numbers that are based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/multiplication\/multiplication\" title=\"\">multiplication<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/division\/division\" title=\"\">division<\/a> is known as a geometric pattern. If we are given two or more numbers in the sequence, we can easily find the unknown numbers in the pattern using multiplication and division operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example 1: Simran has $\\$10$ as her savings in the first month. In the second month, her savings doubled. So, now she has 10 x 2= $\\$$20. Again, in the third month her savings doubled. Now she has 20 x 2= $\\$$40. So the pattern here is $\\$$10, $\\$$20, $\\$$40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-5-1.png\" alt=\"Growing pattern by doubling money\" class=\"wp-image-8311\" title=\"Growing pattern by doubling money\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-5-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-5-1-300x207.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example 2: In the pattern given below, each number is getting divided by 5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">3125, 625, 125, 25, 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-4-1.png\" alt=\"Shrinking pattern by dividing 5\" class=\"wp-image-8310\" title=\"Shrinking pattern by dividing 5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-4-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pasted-image-0-4-1-300x217.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Fibonacci Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A sequence of numbers in which each number in the sequence is obtained by adding the two previous numbers together is known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/fibonacci-sequence\" title=\"\">Fibonacci series<\/a> or pattern.
