About this worksheet

A number pattern follows a rule, such as add 5 each time or add 100 each time. Spotting the rule is the heart of this skill: once children know the rule they can continue the pattern as far as they like, and they begin to see how counting by tens and hundreds follows place value. Each row on this page shows the first five numbers of a pattern in boxes and leaves the next five boxes empty.

Your child works out how much the numbers go up each time, then writes the next five numbers in the empty boxes. Ask them to say the rule out loud first. A quick check is to read the whole row again, counting on by the rule, and make sure each box fits.
