What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Look at rows of big and small apples and dot the big apple or the small apple that comes next. The directions on the page read: Look at the big and small apples in each row. Which apple comes next? Use a dot marker to dot the big apple or the small apple. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.
Can I use this size patterns worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool patterns, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with size patterns. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Does my child need to know how to write for these size patterns worksheets?

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
