Puzzling Patterns
This worksheet will support your students to identify and continue number patterns as a result of addition and subtraction. Students first identify the rule in the pattern table, complete the missing numbers to continue the pattern and then circle the correct rule. Students create number patterns after reading the instructions for Question 2.
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.
