About this game

How to play

  1. Look along the row and spot what changes.
  2. Pick the tile that fits the gap.
  3. Colours always have their own texture too, so you can tell them apart.

Three levels

  • Easy: Simple repeats and counting up.
  • Medium: Turning arrows, sizes and doubles.
  • Hard: Two patterns running at the same time.

What this teaches

Spotting patterns is how scientists find rules in nature, and how mathematicians predict what happens next.
