What comes next? Let's find out!
Sequencing in math is about putting things in order and finding what comes next. Young learners count forward, find numbers that come before and after, and use ordinal numbers like first, second and third. They continue shape and number patterns: 2, 4, 6, 8, __. Older kids order bigger numbers, fractions, decimals and even negative numbers. The click moment is spotting the rule behind a pattern and shouting the next number before anyone else.
Ordering and patterns are everywhere. These moves help kids see the order in math.
