Year 1 Number Patterns Unit

Teach growing number patterns in a clear, connected sequence. This Year 1 Mathematics unit helps pupils identify the constant jump, continue sequences, find missing terms, choose a rule and create a simple pattern of their own.

Core learning focuses on counting by 2s, 5s and 10s in line with Australian Curriculum v9.0. Counting by 3s appears as an extension challenge. The editable teaching presentation and question-and-answer quiz support whole-class instruction, while six black-and-white worksheets, two colour games and a classroom display provide flexible independent, partner and small-group practice. A 12-item assessment, answer pages and five-level rubric support consistent checking and feedback.
