What is a Number Sequence?
Number sequences are like number trains!
A sequence is a special order of numbers that follows a pattern. Sometimes we have to figure out what comes next or what's missing in the pattern. Let's learn how to complete number sequences up to 20!
How to Complete a Sequence
1️⃣ Look at the numbers you can see
2️⃣ Find the pattern - are the numbers going up or down? By how much?
3️⃣ Fill in the missing number that fits the pattern

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it a game: Create number sequence hopscotch or use toys to make patterns more engaging.
- Start simple: Begin with sequences that increase by 1 before trying larger jumps.
- Use real objects: Line up blocks or toys to help visualize the sequence before writing numbers.
