Maths Quiz - Year 1 Numbers - Number Patterns (Extending) (Questions)

Extend patterns by following the rule. Spot how the sequence grows, predict the next terms, and explain why they fit. Try doubling, adding, or repeating blocks.

Fascinating Fact:

The pattern 1, 2, 4, 8 doubles each step, so it grows to 16 and 32, like a tiny seed sprouting bigger leaves.

In KS1 Maths, you look for rules in patterns and use them to continue a sequence. The rule might be “add 2”, “double each time”, or “repeat a short block”.

Key Terms

Sequence: Numbers in an order that follows a rule, like 2, 4, 6, 8.
Rule: The instruction a pattern follows, for example “add 3” or “double”.
Extend: To carry on the pattern by using the same rule to find the next terms.

Practise spotting and extending patterns with the Numeracy Game before you try the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I extend a number pattern in Year 1?

First, find the rule by looking at how the numbers change. Then apply that same rule to add the next one or two terms to the sequence.

What happens when the pattern doubles each time?

Each term is twice the one before. For 3, 6, 12, 24 the next number is 48, because 24 doubled is 48.

How can I check my answer fits the pattern?

Use the rule on the last term. If your new number follows the same rule and the sequence still makes sense, your answer is correct.
