🔍 Part 1: Pattern Recognition

1. Look at this pattern: ⭐🌙⭐🌙⭐🌙⭐ _____ _____

What comes next? Draw or write your answer:

2. Circle the correct rule for this pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...

Add 3 each time

Add 2 each time

Add 1 each time

Subtract 2 each time

3. Complete this growing pattern:

1st term: 3

2nd term: 6

3rd term: 9

4th term: _______

5th term: _______

⚖️ Part 2: Understanding the Equal Sign

4. The equal sign (=) means "the same as". Mark each equation as True or False:

5 + 3 = 8 (True)

7 + 2 = 10 (True)

4 + 4 = 9 (True)

6 + 1 = 7 (True)

5. Fill in the missing numbers to make these equations true:

a) 3 + _____ = 7

b) _____ + 4 = 9

c) 8 = 5 + _____

d) 10 = _____ + 6

6. Circle the equation that shows the equal sign being used correctly:

2 + 3 = 5 + 0

4 + 1 = 6

7 = 3 + 4

All of the above
