Think Critically With This Additive and Multiplicative Relationships Worksheets PDF 

This interactive additive and multiplicative relationships worksheets PDF helps students develop a strong understanding of number patterns in a fun “This” or “That” format. Students will compare two input/output tables, identify which one fits a given condition, and explain their reasoning in complete sentences. This format not only reinforces pattern recognition but also encourages students to articulate their thought processes clearly. The final section challenges students to design their own input/output tables and create a corresponding question, offering an opportunity for them to apply what they’ve learned.
