Students will communicate what happens in a repeating pattern. For example, in the repeating pattern of triangle, square, circle, the student will communicate that since the triangle was the first shape in the pattern, it will always follow the circle. The square will always follow the triangle, and the circle will always follow the square. Students should transfer this reasoning to all patterns (numbers, words, colors, designs, etc.).

Problem:

Describe the pattern below, and tell what color the next box will be.
