About this printable
Shapes and patterns are the foundation of geometry and early algebra, and this 24-page printable book makes both feel like play. Children learn to name and trace shapes, count their sides, combine them into new shapes, and then find and continue patterns in colour, shape and number. The book moves from finding shapes in a picture to building with them, and from simple colour patterns to growing number patterns. Every page has a clear example at the top, so a child knows exactly what to look for before starting, and blank rows at the end invite them to invent their own pattern for you to finish. There is also a shape hunt in a scene, a pattern path maze, patterns in nature, an answer key, a progress tracker and a certificate. Name each shape out loud as your child traces it, and ask them to say the pattern aloud, such as red, blue, red, blue, before filling in a missing piece. Real blocks alongside the pages help. Instant digital download, letter paper size.
