A pattern is a repeated design.
The pattern that gets repeated is called the pattern unit.
Look at this pattern:
bcc bcc bcc bcc
If you name each pattern with a letter then
b
is A
c
is B
c
is also B
Here the pattern that gets repeated is ABB, ABB and so on.
So this pattern may be described by the letters ABB.
Can you locate patterns on designs on the walls, staircase etc?
A design is repeated to look beautiful.
