Mixed patterns
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot beside the solid model, trace the dashed shapes to where they stop a little past the middle, and continue the pattern alone to the right edge.
- Rows 1–4 introduce the four patterns and rows 5–8 repeat them in the same order.
- Triangles begin at the bottom-left corner, slanted lines go up from the bottom line, crosses need two strokes, and valleys hang from the top line like cups.
What this worksheet teaches
Switching between four movements — diagonals with corners, single slants, crossing lines and rounded cups — makes your child plan each stroke instead of repeating one easy motion. Half tracing bridges tracing and independent writing: the dashes set size and rhythm, the free part shows whether your child can hold them. These are the strokes of first-grade printing: slants in v, w and k, crossing lines in x, cups in u and y, on rows about 1.3 cm tall.
Variation to try
Cover the dashed half of one row with a strip of paper. When the row is done, lift the strip and compare the freehand shapes with the guide: same height, width and angle?
