Working with this sheet

Find a repeating block

AB repeats two different shapes. AAB and ABB repeat three positions with two shapes; ABC repeats three different shapes. Point to one full block before continuing.

Use the rule to check

An answer should follow the same block from the beginning. Shape outlines work in black and white, so colour is not needed to find the rule.

The task is to continue a repeating sequence, not solve an open-ended “guess my rule” puzzle.
