Free practice on Patterns and Shapes for Class 5, following the Cameroon primary school curriculum (English subsystem). Every answer is explained, so a parent who is not sure of the answer can still help.
A pattern is a rule that repeats. It could be growing (+2 each time), shrinking (−3 each time), or a shape rotation. Spot the rule, then extend.
| Sequence | Rule | Next |
|---|---|---|
| 2, 4, 6, 8, … | +2 | 10 |
| 10, 7, 4, 1, … | −3 | −2 |
| 1, 3, 6, 10, … | +2, +3, +4… | 15 |
| 3, 6, 12, 24, … | ×2 | 48 |
You can build big shapes from small ones. Two triangles make a rectangle. Six squares make a cube net. Try drawing and cutting to see how shapes fit.
Building blocks: Triangle · Square · Rectangle · Circle · Pentagon · Hexagon · Cube · Cylinder
A shape has symmetry if a line splits it into two mirror halves. A square has 4 lines of symmetry. A circle has infinitely many. Draw the line — both sides match.
| Shape | Lines of symmetry |
|---|---|
| Circle | Infinite |
| Square | 4 |
| Equilateral triangle | 3 |
| Rectangle | 2 |
| Isosceles triangle | 1 |
