Object Sequencing Worksheet: What Comes After?

How to use this worksheet

Look at the object on the left side of the row together and ask your child what they notice about it, like its size, color, or type. Show them the options on the right and discuss what logically would come next in the sequence based on the pattern shown. Have your child circle the object they believe comes next, explaining their reasoning out loud. Repeat for each row, checking together that the sequence logic makes sense before moving to the next one.
