Support early math learning with a worksheet pack that helps students confidently find the pattern as they recognise, continue and create repeating patterns using hands‑on tasks.
Find the Pattern Worksheets for Foundation Students
Are you looking for ready-to-go pattern activities? This find the pattern worksheet pack gives Foundation students hands‑on opportunities to engage with repeating patterns by looking closely, cutting, sorting, circling, extending, and creating their own patterns.
Across six carefully sequenced worksheets, students:
- Examine pattern sequences to work out what repeats
- Continue patterns by drawing or selecting the next item
- Cut and paste objects to recognise and extend repeating patterns
- Create their own repeating patterns using colour
The resource is available as a printable PDF and as editable Google Slides, giving teachers flexibility to use it in different teaching contexts. All pages are provided in black and white for easy printing and clear student focus. The activities are designed specifically for Foundation learners, with developmentally appropriate pattern types ranging from simple repeats to more challenging sequences.
Teachers need this resource because it:
- Gives students multiple ways to interact with the same concept
- Works seamlessly in maths rotations, small groups, or independent work
- Saves planning time with ready‑to‑use and editable formats
Created by classroom teachers, this resource reflects how Foundation students learn best — by doing.
Flexible Ways to Use This Find the Pattern Worksheet Pack
These worksheets support students as they learn how to find the pattern through a clear sequence of actions. You can use the worksheet in several different ways, such as:
- Quick Maths Warm-Ups – Use individual worksheets to help students settle into learning and warm up their pattern-recognition skills.
- Small Groups – Perfect for guided sessions where you can walk students through identifying and continuing patterns together.
- Independent Learning Centres – Students can recreate worksheet patterns using hands-on materials like blocks or counters before completing the activity.
Once students engage with this activity, they will feel more confident than ever in recognising, continuing and creating patterns.
