Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practises noticing parity and place-value features — 8 questions for Grade 4, all on Common Core 4.OA.C.5: Make and describe patterns that follow a rule. The instruction to pupils is “Write the missing numbers”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.C.5 — 4.OA.C.5, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Grade 4. The published standard reads: “Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Features of a Pattern is written for Grade 4, typically ages 9-10. It is one of the sheets on 4.OA.C.5, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 8 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Yes. Features of a Pattern, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
