What Comes Next?

Worksheet Description

Cut and paste the pictures on the bottom of the worksheet to complete all of the patterns. This worksheet is a pattern recognition activity titled “What comes next?” designed for children to continue a given sequence. The sheet has several horizontal rows, each containing a series of images that form a pattern with one image missing at the end. Below each row, there are three images from which the student is instructed to cut out the correct one and paste it into the empty space to complete the pattern. The images feature simple and colorful illustrations of flowers, animals, and insects, which are appealing and easy for children to identify.

The activity is focused on teaching students how to recognize and predict sequences by understanding patterns. It helps to develop their logical thinking and problem-solving skills by choosing the image that logically follows in the sequence. The cut and paste aspect of the worksheet also enhances fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Additionally, the task allows students to practice following instructions and reinforces their ability to match and sort objects, which are key early mathematics skills.
