AABB Pattern

An AABB pattern is a type of pattern in which two different elements repeat in a predictable sequence. In this pattern, the first two elements are the same, and the next two elements are also the same but different from the first pair. The pattern continues in this manner.

Example:

In an AABB pattern, the sequence might look like this: red, red, blue, blue, red, red, blue, blue, and so on.

Study Guide:

1. Identify the Pattern: Look for repeating pairs of elements in the sequence.
2. Continue the Pattern: Once you identify the pattern, continue the sequence by repeating the same pairs of elements.
3. Make Your Own: Create your own AABB pattern using different elements and practice continuing the pattern.
4. Recognize Real-Life Examples: Look for AABB patterns in everyday objects, such as in the colors of traffic lights or the design of a tiled floor.
5. Practice: Complete worksheets or online exercises that involve identifying and continuing AABB patterns.

Understanding AABB patterns is an important early math skill that helps build pattern recognition and sequencing abilities in young learners.
