Pattern Pilot

Logic and ReasoningShape PatternsGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice finding the rule in a visual pattern, adjusting a ship's shape, color, turn, and dot count to match the one piece missing from a convoy's pattern, with pattern types set by grade band from grade 3 through grade 6; dials already fixed for a pattern are marked SAME.

How to play

Players press 1 through 4 to cycle a dial's property until it matches the missing piece, then press the space bar to fly into the gap before the convoy's warp bar fills. A miss has the convoy show the correct rule before that pattern returns later.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which pattern types are in play, what kind of piece is missing, and the speed (Rookie gives one convoy at a time with 30 seconds each). The end-of-mission report includes a printable list of patterns to practice.
