Free Patterns Worksheets for Kids
Pattern sheets ask what comes next in a repeating sequence — an early, hands-on introduction to the kind of thinking algebra eventually formalizes.

Begin with AB and say the repeating unit out loud. When that feels easy, try AAB, ABB, then ABC; use claps or household objects to build the same pattern off the page.
