Patching the Copter

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a cut-and-paste activity designed to help students learn numerical order and sequencing. The sheet displays a series of numbered helicopters, with some numbers omitted in the sequence from 1 to 20. Students are tasked with cutting out the numbers provided at the bottom of the worksheet and pasting them into the correct order on the empty helicopters. This interactive format engages students in a hands-on learning experience to better understand number sequences.

The worksheet is geared towards teaching children the concept of numerical sequences by having them actively participate in organizing numbers in the correct order. It combines cognitive skills, such as recognizing patterns and understanding sequence, with fine motor skills involved in cutting and pasting. This type of activity not only reinforces their knowledge of number order but also enhances their manual dexterity. The “How Did You Do?” self-assessment encourages children to reflect on their learning, which promotes self-awareness and helps them gauge their understanding of the concept.
