Learning Task: Exploring Geometry Patterns
NAME: Rea Mae E. Umandac
Subject: Mathematics
Topic: Geometry Patterns
Course: BEED 3B
Type of Task: Performance Task / Hands-on Exploration Time
Task 1: Pattern Hunt
Look around your surroundings (classroom, home, or school grounds). Find three examples of geometric
patterns (e.g., tiles, windows, fences, decorations). Draw or take photos of these patterns and describe
how the shapes repeat or change.
The shapes here are made up of triangles and trapezoids. The entire design is created by reflecting
(mirroring) the left side to create the right side.
The pattern repeats the same long, rectangular shape (the chair slat) over and over. Each slat is
translated (slid) a small distance to the side to form the entire chair back.
The pattern is made up of four identical rectangular shapes that are placed next to each other. The shape
and size of the door repeats by sliding it horizontally along the bottom of the cabinet.
Task 2: Pattern Completion
Below are some incomplete geometric patterns. Complete the missing figures based on the pattern rule.
Example: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ___ → Answer: ■
1. Pattern: ▲ ● ■ ▲ ● ■ ▲ ___
Answer: ●
2. Pattern: 🔵 🔴 🔵 🔵 🔴 __ __
Answer: 🔵 🔵
3. Pattern:
___
_
Answer:
Task 3: Create Your Own Geometric Pattern
Using colored paper cut-outs, design your own geometric pattern (at least 10 figures long). Arrange the
shapes neatly on a sheet of paper. Below your pattern, write a short explanation: What shapes did you
use? What rule does your pattern follow (e.g., color change, size change, shape repetition)?
I used three shapes: The Circle, Square, and Triangle. The rule my pattern follows is based on color and shape
repetition. The pattern repeats the sequence of (Small Red Circle, Large Blue Shape). The large blue shape alternates
between a square and a triangle: (Circle - Square) - (Circle - Triangle).
Reflection:
• What did you discover about geometric patterns?
• Where can we find patterns in our daily life?
• Why do you think learning about patterns is important?
1. I discovered that geometric patterns are based on a predictable rule
involving the change or repetition of shapes, size, or color. Even complex
patterns can be broken down into a simple, repeating core unit.
2. We can find patterns everywhere, from the repeating shapes in the tiles on
our bathroom floor and the bricks on a wall, to the symmetrical
arrangements of leaves on a stem and the designs on clothing.
3. Learning about patterns is important because it helps us develop critical
thinking and prediction skills, which are important for mathematics and
problem-solving in general. Recognizing patterns helps our brains find order
in the world and anticipate what comes next.
