Can your students complete the pattern and fill in the missing number? After they enter a number they can check their answer by entering only the first number in the "Check" row. A formula in the spreadsheet will supply all the numbers. Once they know the correct missing numbers, can they tell the rule for each pattern? What number was added to each number or multiplied by each number? After the students complete the spreadsheet activity they can visit the "Virtual Counting Stick" webpage to play more games with number patterns.
This spreadsheet has a random number generator that gives students a random number to round to the nearest hundred, thousand and ten thousand. Pressing F9 will generate a new row of random numbers. Students enter their numbers and the rounded numbers in the second row of boxes. There is a link to a website where students can round numbers to the nearest 100 in an interactive activity.
