About this resource
What's inside this resource
If you want to give students extra practice with patterns, I have just the resource for you.
What You Get:
This is a Number Sequences Activity Set that was designed for elementary students who are working on or have mastered this skill. It also works well as a review for students. There are 2 separate PDFs included:
- Worksheet with 3 activity problems
- Answer key
How To Implement This Resource:
You can print off enough copies of the worksheet for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry erase markers to solve the problems. This is a great activity to place into a math center or small group activity.
The activities included are:
1. What’s the rule? – There are 16 questions. Students will look at each sequence to determine if the numbers are increasing or decreasing and by how many.
2. Missing Number Sequences – There are 14 questions. Students will determine the rule and then fill in the missing numbers.
3. Follow the Rule! – There are 14 questions. Students will read the rules and complete the number sequences.
These activities can be completed independently. You may even choose to have students complete some of the activities in small groups or partners.
I hope you enjoy!
