Continue the Pattern
This worksheet will support your students to identify and continue number patterns as a result of addition and subtraction. It has been created as part of our Year 3 Number Patterns unit plan. Students will need two 6-sided dice each for this activity.
Learning goals
- We are learning to describe, continue and create number patterns and use addition and subtraction to identify the rule.
- We are learning to follow and create number sentences to investigate number patterns and rules and to find emerging patterns.
