Patterns - Numbers, Shapes, etc.
Find the pattern is the name of the game! Learners examine different patterns represented by numbers, shapes, and words. They must describe the pattern, predict the result in a given position, and find an equation that...

Extending Geometric Patterns
Which square comes next? Each of these sequences is made up of patterned squares in a continuing order. Learners examine more squares to choose which one(s) would correctly continue the pattern. None of these have very complex sequences;...

Number Patterns
These patterns are perfect for learners brand new to counting. They examine 9 number sequences, completing the last two numbers. The codes are easy to crack here- they count by 1, 2, and 3. For a bonus sequence, scholars count by 10....

Patterns
Follow the pattern to find what comes next. Youngsters analyze shape patterns to continue the sequence in the provided space. The three patterns increase in difficulty, and then scholars have a chance to create two of their own....

Identifying the Patterns
What pattern do you see? Preschoolers examine four visual patterns and complete them after observing the repeating designs. Then, they create two patterns of their own. Because these are all drawn into circles, consider extending this to...

Extending Patterns
2, 4, 6, 8. What comes next? This reading comprehension worksheet discusses patterns and extending patterns. After reading the short article, kids answer a series of questions to demonstrate their understanding of the passage.
Inside Mathematics
Hexagons
Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.
