What kids do
“Read the pattern out loud. Write the next three numbers in the boxes.”
Teacher tip
Ask kids to say the rule in words, like “add 2 each time”, before writing the next three.
How to use it
- Pair the sheet with real counters: build the number, then write it.
- Use a fat crayon or a triangle pencil for kids who still grip with a fist.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Reversals of 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are normal at this age. Point to the start dot and model again rather than marking it wrong.
Talk about it
- Where does this number start, at the top or the bottom?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
