Pattern recognition is a way to find and notice regularities or 'patterns' in things around us. It's used in many different subjects, including math and computer science.
Now, let's start with some pattern recognition exercises!
Look at the following sequence of numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8. Can you see the pattern?
Try to write down the next 4 numbers in this sequence.
Now let's try a letter pattern. Look at this sequence: A, C, E, G. Can you see the pattern?
Try to write down the next 4 letters in this sequence.
Ready for a challenge? Try this pattern: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4D. Can you see the pattern? Write down the next 4 items in the sequence.
