Finding Patterns
What's the pattern? Learners skip count to complete 12 sequences, some of which increase and some of which decrease. As they solve each number pattern they count by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 100, getting some extra subtraction and addition...

Identifying Patterns
Find the pattern! Eighteen number sequences challenge scholars to identify and complete the pattern, adding at least four digits to the given numbers. All the sequences here involve skip counting by various single-digit numbers,...

Identifying Patterns
Explore number attributes and skip counting through patterns! Scholars find the pattern in each of these sequences and continue it by writing in the remaining values. They count consistently by various intervals, sometimes forwards and...

Addition Patterns
Use a learning activity with your youngsters in order to establish an understanding of patterns in a small addition table. Help learners recognize that adding two odd numbers will produce an even number, and adding two even numbers will...

Identifying Patterns
Investigators examine the clues to complete 17 sequences by skip counting backwards. There are two examples to get them started, and all of these patterns include the first three numbers but are missing the last five. If you want...

Counting by 3s, 4s, and 5s
Can learners recognize the pattern in these number sequences? Here's a hint: it's skip counting by either three, four, or five. There are three examples at the top demonstrating each of these, and scholars complete 15 number sequences to...
