Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an activity that helps develop pattern recognition and fine motor skills. It displays rows of elephants in different positions, with each row following a specific sequence. The children are instructed to complete the pattern by cutting and pasting the correct image in the empty boxes at the end of each row. The bottom of the worksheet provides the images to be cut out, marked with scissors to indicate where to cut.

The worksheet is designed to teach students to identify and extend patterns, a fundamental concept in early mathematics. By determining which elephant comes next in the sequence, children practice their ability to predict and continue patterns. This exercise also enhances fine motor skills through the actions of cutting and pasting. Additionally, it encourages cognitive development by requiring attention to the attributes that differ among the elephants, such as their position or direction.
