Finding the Core of Repeating Patterns

The video tutorial teaches how to solve repeating patterns by identifying the core, the smallest repeating unit. It explains patterns using examples like brick walls and number sequences. The core is identified by observing the repeating sequence, and common mistakes are highlighted. An example of finding the 12th shape in a pattern is provided, demonstrating the use of multiplication and pattern recognition to solve it efficiently.

What is the core of a repeating pattern?

Describe the relationship between the core of a pattern and its steps.

What common mistake should be avoided when identifying a repeating pattern?

How can you identify the 10th shape in a repeating pattern?

Explain how you can find the 12th shape in a pattern without writing out all steps.
