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.
