Explanation
A pattern is a shape or line that repeats. We see patterns in nature, on clothes and on Uzbek atlas and ikat fabrics. A zebra has stripes; a leopard has spots. Ripples on a river look like wavy lines. We use “There are …” for plural things: “There are stripes on the scarf.” Add the color too: “a red scarf with white spots”.
Worked examples
There are blue stripes on my T-shirt.
The snake has zigzags on its back.
Class activity
“Pattern hunt”: in 3 minutes find five things with patterns in the classroom and say: “There are stripes on the curtain.” The group with the most wins.
