The learner understands that a pattern extending by 1 follows the counting sequence: each term is one more than the preceding term, represented with numerals or positions on a number line within familiar whole numbers through 100 (or 120). This includes maintaining the rule across transitions such as 9 to 10 and 19 to 20, supporting later place-value and algebraic reasoning; negative numbers, fractions, unknown general rules, and patterns with other differences are not included.
On this page:
A number pattern that extends by 1 goes forward one number each time. To find the next number, count on by 1.
Example:
So the completed pattern is:
Remember: each number is exactly one more than the number before it.
