Finding the Next Value in a Table (Word) Worksheet Download
This worksheet gives a short story and a table listing a value for each month, with the last month left blank. The amount changes by the same number every month, so the student has to work out the rule from the table and apply it once more. Some tables count down to what is left and others count up to a total, so the rule is not always subtraction.
