Students find and extend simple number and shape patterns. Part A asks them to fix three incorrect pattern continuations involving skip-counting by 5s, 2s, and 3s. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions about letter patterns, the add-10 rule, and the next term in a 4s sequence. Part C presents three true-or-false statements about odd-number patterns, skip-counting by 10, and repeating patterns.

This sheet introduces the language of pattern rules alongside basic fact patterns students already know.

★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
The next number in 5, 10, 15, 20 is 22.
Rewrite: The next number in 5, 10, 15, 20 is 25.
2) Fix the sentence:
The rule for the pattern 2, 4, 6, 8 is add 3.
Rewrite: The rule for the pattern 2, 4, 6, 8 is add 2.
3) Fix the sentence:
The pattern 3, 6, 9, 12 continues with 14.
Rewrite: The pattern 3, 6, 9, 12 continues with 15.
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) In the pattern A, B, C, A, B, C, the next letter is A.
2) The pattern 10, 20, 30, 40 follows the rule add 10.
3) What comes next in 4, 8, 12, 16, 20?
4) An input-output table uses the rule add 5. If the input is 7, the output is 12.
★ Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1) The pattern 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 follows the rule add 2.
True
False
2) In the pattern 10, 20, 30, 40, the next number is 45.
True
False
3) A repeating pattern like red, blue, red, blue uses the same group over and over.
True
False
