Cuddly Patterns

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a pattern recognition activity themed around where children complete sequences using images of sheep. Each row shows a series of sheep in various positions, with one image missing at the end. The students are instructed to cut out the correct image from the provided options at the bottom of the worksheet and paste it in the blank square to complete the pattern. The bottom section includes dashed lines around the images to guide where the children should cut.

The worksheet is crafted to teach students the essential skill of identifying and continuing patterns, an important aspect of early mathematical learning. It allows children to practice recognizing sequences and determining the next image based on the established order. This activity also helps in developing fine motor skills as it involves cutting along lines and pasting small pictures. Engaging in this hands-on task also aids in enhancing focus and attention to detail as students must carefully choose the correct image that completes the sequence.
