Watch a six-year-old copy a row of shapes and you will see the eyes jump: look up, draw one, look up again, sometimes lose the place. Copying in order sounds simple, yet it asks for memory, attention and a steady hand at once. This 1st grade copy the shape pattern worksheet trains exactly that. Each row shows eight colored shapes in small boxes: circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and pentagons. Right under it, an empty row of eight boxes waits. Some rows repeat a clear rule, like circle, square, circle, square, while others mix five different shapes. The child draws each shape again in the box below, one by one. A second page gives the answer key.
