Patterns are everywhere, and helping students recognize, understand, and create math patterns is an essential skill for early algebra and number sense. This comprehensive patterning and number patterns resource teaches students to identify repeating, growing, shrinking, and number patterns while building strong pattern recognition skills.

With hands-on pattern activities, anchor charts, and guided digital lessons, students progress from visual observations to numerical rules, building strong patterning skills and early algebra reasoning along the way. Perfect for grades 2–4 math centers, small groups, or whole-class lessons.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

⭐ Interactive Digital Lesson Slides
This resource includes five ready-to-teach digital lessons that follow a “See It → Name It → Build It” sequence to keep students engaged and reinforce learning.
