Questions about Features of a Pattern

What does the Features of a Pattern worksheet cover?

It practices noticing a feature the rule does not state: odd, even, or alternating — 8 questions for Grade 4, all on Common Core 4.OA.C.5: Make and describe patterns that follow a rule. The instruction to students is “Write the numbers, then answer the question”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Features of a Pattern practice?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.C.5 — 4.OA.C.5, under Operations & Algebraic Thinking 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.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

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 student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Features of a Pattern come with an answer key?

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.

How many different versions of Features of a Pattern can I print?

25 — one per student, 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.

Is Features of a Pattern free to print and photocopy?

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.
