NCERT Solutions for Class 4 Maths Chapter 3: Pattern Around Us

What this chapter teaches.
Recognising and extending patterns in shapes, colours, and borders; even numbers (numbers that divide exactly into pairs, ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) and odd numbers (numbers that cannot, ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9); and spotting number patterns in everyday things like page numbers, coins, or sweets shared in equal groups.

Activity 1 — Spot and Extend the Pattern.
The book shows a repeating design (from a border, tile, or rangoli) and asks children to say what comes next. Work through the actual picture together, describing the repeating unit out loud before predicting the next part.

Activity 2 — Even or Odd?
Children sort numbers into even and odd, and practise the rule using the last digit: even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8; odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.

Activity 3 — Make Your Own Pattern.
Using shapes, colours, or numbers, children design their own repeating pattern and describe the rule they used.

Why This Chapter Matters

Recognising patterns is an early-algebra skill, and even/odd numbers are a foundational number-sense concept that comes up again in later multiplication, division, and factor work.

How to Use These Solutions

Look for real patterns around the house (tiles, fabric, brickwork) and practise sorting numbers into even/odd using the last-digit rule. Download the full chapter from our Class 4 Maths NCERT book page, or browse the Class 4 hub.
