Description

This open-ended worksheet allows your students to create their own number patterns and rules that follow. They then swap their number patterns with a partner and work out each others’ rules for the number patterns. Students fold along the dotted lines to hide the rule. Once each partner is confident they know the rule, they can check the rule by unfolding the sheet.

Each student should use a recording sheet to record what rule they think each one is and refer to this when checking their answers.
