NumIO learning activity

Follow a pattern river across the number board

Pattern River invites children to notice how numbers grow when the same step repeats. It is a calm warm-up for early number sense.

Learning goal

Recognise a repeating step and predict the next number in a visible sequence.

Start at the highlighted number, count forward by the shown step, and tap the next number that continues the river.

Have a partner say the sequence aloud and ask what stays the same each time the river moves.
