Chapter 9, Utsav, uses festival decorations to introduce simple repeating patterns in shapes and numbers. These questions revisit spotting and continuing patterns.
Practice Questions
Q1. Complete the pattern: circle, square, circle, square, ___?
Circle.
Q2. What comes next in this number pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8, ___?
10, since the pattern adds 2 each time.
Q3. A necklace is made using the pattern red bead, blue bead, red bead, blue bead. What is the 5th bead?
Red bead, since red always appears at odd positions in this pattern.
Q4. Identify the rule in this pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20.
Each number increases by 5.
Q5. Describe a simple repeating pattern using two shapes of your choice.
Any two shapes repeated in the same order throughout, for example: triangle, circle, triangle, circle.
Why These Help
Patterns train the mind to notice repetition and predict what comes next, a skill that later supports number sequences, multiplication tables, and even understanding rules in shapes and language.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why do children learn about patterns in early maths class?
Because spotting and continuing patterns builds prediction skills that later support number sequences and multiplication tables.
