Frogs Hopping by 2s
Hop to it! Beginning counters fill in water lily number sequences as a frog "hops" across them, skip counting by twos. There are five sequences in total, and some require counting backward. Learners can reference the two examples, which...

Poems: Identifying Patterns
Here is a great worksheet that contains two short poems to compare and contrast. Children will read each poem out loud and then complete three comparative analysis questions which focus on rhyme, structure, and language. Note: The...

Number of the Day
Daily routines not only help to manage classrooms, they can also provide students with rich opportunities for learning. This activity supports young learners in developing their number sense by counting up the school days on a class...
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....
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...

Counting, Properties of Numbers, and Reasoning about Numbers
Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...

Balloon Bop: Skip Counting
Practice counting in patterns and skip counting by 1, 5, and 10. Once the patterns have been taught, teams of 5 or 6 learners -- holding hands in circles -- skip count each time they collectively bounce a balloon up into the air. Early...
Curated OER
Identify Patterns
To complete these number patterns mathematicians must determine by what number each is constantly increasing. However, this isn't your typical skip counting; scholars count by numbers like 18, 60, and even 101 to fill in the missing...

Using Rhythm to Teach Patterns and Directions
Introduce young learners to line dancing. Here are some simple movement patterns to teach them. First teach, repeat, and repeat again without music. Then when they have a pretty good grasp of the movement patterns, add music and practice...

Sorting Fish By Pattern
Go fish! Preschoolers and kindergartners work on matching and patterns. This resource prompts little learners to match certain fish to the correct fisherman. They then count the types of fish and write the number in spaces provided....
Curated OER
Picking Patterns
In this pattern worksheet, learners enumerate the number of objects that comes next in the sequence including triangles, blocks, and circles. There are 6 questions.
Curated OER
Counting Forward or Back
What comes next? Young counters follow the stone path to each house, filling in numbers in a sequence as they go. Some of these move forward and some backward, but all progress by ones. Learners start with given numbers and then follow...
Curated OER
Patterns, Relations, and Functions: Geometric Shapes
Students explore patterns involving objects or figures and geometric shapes. They identify the missing shapes in patterns and discuss what would come next in the pattern, analyze patterns using different objects, and complete a...
Curated OER
Counting by 1s, 10s, and 100s
These sequences are missing numbers and require some skip counting to complete. Scholars finish rows of numbers first counting by 1s, then 10s, and finally 100s. Each has three given numbers to get them started, and they fill in five...
Curated OER
Geometric Patterns
Geometric patterns illuminate this colorful and interactive PowerPoint. First, patterns must be identified. Next, students discern the missing color in a block pattern. Lastly, they observe a figure to determine how many blocks are used....
Curated OER
Counting by 2s, part 2
Two, four, six, eight...can your scholars count by twos? They fill in missing numbers in 18 number sequences, all of which require skip counting by twos. Some begin on an even number and others odd, however all of these are whole...
Curated OER
Number Patterns
Help your students to identify even and odd numbers. In this number sense lesson, they read the book Madeline and use counters to identify which number has a "partner." Learners write down odd and even numbers on a whiteboard.

Number Patterns and Sequences
In this finding the missing numbers in patterns and sequences worksheet, upper graders read a series of one-digit, two-digit, and three-digit numbers to solve the problems. They solve 10 problems.
Curated OER
Identifying Patterns
Although this fractions exercise may seem difficult at first, it's really quite simple and intended for beginners to mixed numbers. Scholars complete 15 number sequences by adding two or three mixed numbers or decimal numbers. However,...
Curated OER
Counting Out Loud
These number sequences are quite fun to look at! Beginning counters complete six of them as they say and write in the numbers. They count only by 1s, however some of these move from greatest to least. The highest number here is 20. Once...
Curated OER
Skip Counting
For this math worksheet, students complete 6 number patterns in which students fill in the missing numbers while skip counting. The addition pattern is already indicated for students. All numbers on the page are between 1 and 35.

Fill in the Missing Numbers
What comes next? Drill your new counters as they fill in a blank space when given two consecutive numbers. Each page features four sets of numbers, and learners fill in the third of the series. Differentiate by having beginners fill in...
