Number Sequences (Year 3)

Number sequences Year 3 introduces patterns in numbers. Pupils practise spotting, continuing, and creating sequences, building key skills for later problem solving in maths.

Fascinating Fact:

Odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) and even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) are both types of sequences.

In KS2 Maths, Year 3 number sequences focus on identifying and continuing patterns, such as counting in steps of 2, 5, or 10. Pupils also learn to predict missing numbers.

Key Terms

Sequence: A set of numbers that follow a specific pattern or rule.
Odd Number: A number not divisible by 2, such as 1, 3, or 5.
Even Number: A number divisible by 2, such as 2, 4, or 6.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a number sequence in Year 3 maths?

A number sequence is a list of numbers that follow a rule, such as counting by twos (2, 4, 6, 8) or counting backwards.

How do you find the rule in a number sequence?

To find the rule, look at the difference between numbers. For example, in 3, 6, 9, 12 the rule is “add 3.”

Why are number sequences important?

Number sequences are important because they help pupils recognise patterns, predict numbers, and prepare for algebra and problem solving later in maths.
