These Missing Pattern Pieces Worksheets are a great tool to check in on student understanding of recognising the constant term being added or subtracted in an additive pattern and using it to identify the missing elements in the sequence.

Students look at the number sequence shown on the puzzle pieces. They identify the amount the pattern is increasing or decreasing by and write it underneath. Students then colour the missing puzzle piece that is needed to complete the pattern shown on the puzzle pieces.

There are 3 different patterns on each worksheet for students to identify the pattern and select the missing piece.

There are 3 worksheets included that increase in complexity:

1. Worksheet 1 patterns include: +5, -10 and +2
2. Worksheet 2 patterns include: +5, -5, +3
3. Worksheet 3 patterns include: +5, -100, +4
