What Comes Next? Pattern and Number Sequence Worksheet for Ages 7-8
Children crack the rule behind shape patterns (repeating, growing and turning) and number sequences (adding 2, adding 5, taking away 3 and doubling), then write the rule in their own words. They also catch a deliberately broken pattern and fix the mistake.
