Finding the Next Term of a Sequence

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. identify and describe different types of sequences, including arithmetic and geometric sequences;
  2. generate terms of the sequence from either a term-to-term or a position-to-term rule.

Curriculum Alignment: KS3 Mathematics: Algebra

  • generate terms of a sequence from either a term-to-term or a position-to-term rule
  • recognise arithmetic sequences and find the nth term
  • recognise geometric sequences and appreciate other sequences that arise
