Pattern Spinner
place value · counting patterns forward and backward up to 1000
To count patterns up to 1000 [2.NBT.A.2].
Pattern Spinner is a Grade 2 partner game for extending counting patterns forward and backward up to 1,000. A spinner determines the constant step size, and players complete missing values on a selected game board in the assigned direction. Switching between forward and backward counting makes students think about the relationship between consecutive terms instead of relying on one memorized sequence.
Use it for partner review when students are skip-counting and working with hundreds, tens, and ones across a wide number range. Comparing forward and backward versions of the same step can deepen understanding of the pattern rule.
