Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 1 Maths chapter on patterns. Ask your child to say the pattern out loud (Red, Yellow, Red, Yellow...) and tap along. At home, line up spoons, socks or coins in a repeating pattern and ask what comes next, then change one item and ask them to find the mistake.
