    AB patterns are the simplest type of repeating pattern. They are the best way to teach pattern recognition to young learners.

    Pattern recognition is one of the essential early math skills, but it's also one of the key skills for early literacy. Being able to recognize and predict patterns will also help your child in everyday life!

    Instead of mixing and matching a variety of patterns (such as AB patterns, ABC patterns, and AAB patterns) in one worksheet, this worksheet only features the ABAB pattern.

    This AB patterns worksheet is ideal for introducing patterns to your child or students. Depending on the child's individual level, this worksheet could be used by preschool students, pre-k kids, or even kindergarten students. 

    Materials needed to use these free printable worksheets

    You don't need much to use these free worksheets:

    • Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows pointing the way to the download link)
    • Printer access & paper
    • Dauber markers, round coding stickers, crayons, or some other way to mark the colors

    These ab patterns worksheets were designed with dauber markers in mind, but your child can color in the apples with crayons, pencils, or markers. The apples can also be marked in some other way, like round coding label stickers or even pompoms.
