Finding The Next Term Of A Sequence — Interactive Lesson (Ages 11–14)

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

Designed for ages 11–14 (UK Year 7–9 / US 6th Grade–8th Grade). Aligned to the UK National Curriculum; adaptable to US state standards.
