Patterns Problems

I finished our math unit on Patterns. I created some pattern problems and an assessment sheet to use to help with report card grading.

On this sheet, if they thought something was too difficult they could make an H and circle it.
I had a lot of students put H's in different spots. They could make a pattern if writing it was too difficult.
