What does this activity work on?

The aim of this worksheet is for children to find the missing numbers to complete a sequence.

By performing this task we are training sustained attention, looking for children to maintain focus on the search for numbers for a prolonged period of time.

As the level increases, the required attention maintenance time (sustained attention) also increases, as the sequences have a greater amount of numbers and more missing numbers.

This activity is very beneficial for everyday situations, such as school tasks, which require an increase in attention time as we progress in our education.
