Pattern Next

• Grades K–5
• Math

Pattern Next builds the thinking behind algebra — spotting what repeats, what grows and by how much — with 200 shape, number and letter patterns that get cleverer as your child does.

Free trial: 3 days with the first 25 levels of every game. No card needed.

What it teaches

• Find what comes next in shape and color patterns
• Skip count and continue number patterns
• Spot the rule, including patterns with two rules at once

Chapter by chapter

• Repeat it: Repeating patterns
• Three in a row: ABC patterns
• Growing shapes: Growing patterns
• Count on: Counting on / skip counting
• Bigger jumps: Skip counting by larger steps
• Letters and steps: Letter and step patterns
• Two rules at once: Two-rule patterns (gr 5)
• Pattern master: Mixed
