Questions kids ask
- What is a number pattern?
- A number pattern is a sequence where each number follows a rule, like adding the same amount each time.
- How do I find the missing number?
- Look at the gap between the numbers you can see — if it's always the same, use that gap to work out the missing one.
- Do the patterns get harder?
- Yes, they start with simple counting and grow into skip-counting patterns like 5s and 10s.
