Pattern Post-Test
For this pattern and number sequence worksheet, students complete a ten question multiple choice post-test based on number sequences and patterns.
Curated OER
Number Patterns
In this sequencing worksheet, students examine a pattern made of circles and squares. They draw the next pattern in the sequence. They tell how many circles will be in the fifth pattern, and how many squares will be in the seventh...
Curated OER
Quiz: Find a Pattern
Learners respond to 11 questions that require them to examine numbers and identify patterns. They also solve four math word problems regarding patterns.

Algebraic Processes And Its Connections To Geometry
Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...
Curated OER
Patterns and Sequences
Ninth graders examine sequential number patterns and the Fibonacci sequence. Given number patterns, they determine the next number in a sequence. Students develop their own number patterns and exchange them with another to be solved.
Curated OER
Number Patterns
An easy way to introduce numerical patterns, these activities can be made simpler by using addition, or more difficult with division, fractions, and percentages. Children examine patterns and determine the missing number in the sequence....

Numbers on a Number Line and Math Patterns
In this number line instructional activity, students solve 25 problems in which values on a number line are calculated. Students also figure out math patterns and continue the sequence. This is an online activity that can be done on paper.
Balanced Assessment
Pick a Pattern or Two
Math is all about finding patterns. In this ask, scholars first investigate a sequence formed by squaring the sum of the digits in the previous term. They go on to investigate a second sequence and write an algebraic expression for this...

Geometric Sequences
Place a lesson plan on sequences in your sequence of lessons. Scholars first learn the basics of geometric sequences, such as common ratios and then they write recursive and explicit formulas for geometric sequences.
Scholastic
Cracking the Code
Can you figure out the code? Learners interpret ten number patterns and write the five numbers that come next. Next, they create their own number patterns based on their own codes.
