Instructions
Hello, future coder! A robot needs your help. Follow the steps in each activity to learn about patterns and giving instructions, just like a real programmer. Good luck!
Activity 1: What Comes Next?
A pattern is something that repeats over and over. Look at the patterns below. In the blank spaces, draw or write what comes next.
1. â–², â–¼, â–², â–¼, ______, ______
2. 🔵, 🟢, 🟢, 🔵, 🟢, 🟢, ______, ______
3. →, →, ↓, →, →, ↓, ______, ______
Activity 2: Guide the Robot
