Solved examples: Building ABC patterns with shapes and objects

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 What are ABC Patterns? ABC patterns are sequences that repeat every three elements. Think of it like this: Shape A, Shape B, Shape C, then back to Shape A, and so on.
• 🔶 Elements: The 'elements' can be anything: shapes (circles, squares, triangles), objects (apples, bananas, cherries), colors (red, green, blue), or even actions!
• 🔎 Identifying the Core: The key to solving ABC pattern problems is identifying the core repeating sequence (the A, B, and C).
• 💡 Extending the Pattern: Once you know the core, you can extend the pattern as far as needed by simply repeating the core sequence.
• 🎨 Example: If your ABC pattern is $\triangle$, $\square$, $\bigcirc$, then the next element would be $\triangle$.
