It is a multiple choice game with three levels of difficulty. It is excellent for shape recognition and for problem solving. In the easier levels you need to continue the pattern, but in the more challenging level 3, you are presented with a sequence with the missing element in different positions. This level in particular, is an excellent problem solving activity. As with all of our games, Shape Patterns works well on an interactive whiteboard.
