Fascinating Fact:

Skip counting links. Counting in 2s, 5s, or 10s makes quick sequences. 10, 20, 30, 40… keep hopping.

In KS1 Maths, pupils learn to spot, describe, and continue patterns. They practise skip counting, find the rule in simple sequences, and use a hundred square to predict the next numbers.

Key Terms

  • Pattern: Numbers that follow a rule, like adding 10 each time.
  • Term: One number in a sequence, for example 20 in 10, 20, 30.
  • Skip counting: Counting by the same step, such as 2s, 5s, or 10s.

Practise patterns with the Numeracy Game to build quick, confident sequencing skills.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a number pattern in KS1?

A number pattern is a list of numbers that follow a simple rule, such as “add 2 each time” or “count in tens”.

How do I continue a sequence like 15, 20, 25?

Spot the step. The numbers increase by 5, so the next terms are 30, 35, 40, and so on.

Why do we use skip counting in KS1?

Skip counting helps you see patterns, count groups quickly, and prepare for times tables and mental maths.
