Shape and Number Patterns Lyrics:

I see a - square, circle, heart, square, circle, heart - there;
and if the pattern’s repeating, the next shape will be a square;
but which shape in this sequence
will be the twenty-seventh?
The heart’s the last shape before the pattern repeats,
so a heart will be at every multiple of three;
and therefore, the twenty-seventh shape will be
a heart; and that’s a certainty!

Door, star, dot, line, door, star, dot, line…
what shape goes in the space over number nine?
It’s a repeating pattern, so we can be sure
that the ninth shape in the sequence will be a door.
And In this pattern’s design, the last shape is a line;
and it’s the fourth shape there, so now we’re aware
that a line’s at every multiple of four -
so count back one to find a dot, two for a star, or three for a door.

In life there’s a high frequence
of things created in a sequence,
and that is why it matters
to identify and generate patterns.

One dot, three dots, then six in the 3rd design.
one dot more adds to each new bottom line.
Now the next shape’s number of dots I shall learn,
‘cause this sequence follows a repeating pattern.
So I make a drawing with my trusty pen
and count the dots in the fourth shape and find there are ten;
and this repeats over and over again,
because a repeating pattern never ends.

Two stars, five stars, and then eight stars I see.
In the fourth group I can know how many there’ll be,”
‘cause I draw it out with my trusty pen
and count up to eleven.
Or else I can make a chart so that I can see
the pattern starts with two and keeps adding three.
And I discover something challenging - and really fun:
this pattern has the rule: “times three minus one!”
