Additive Patterns

recognise, describe and create additive patterns that increase or decrease by a constant amount, using numbers, shapes and objects, and identify missing elements in the pattern

Choose a learning activity. Practice and Test use short shuffled attempts. Repeat quiz practice to access more of the full question bank.

Unit focus

  • An additive pattern changes by the same amount each step. Students need to identify and state the rule, not only find the next term.
  • Use this routine: Notice → Find change → Continue → Missing term → Explain.
  • Watch for only finding next term: State the rule every time.
