Sequence Worksheet

This document contains 16 sequence practice problems. For each problem, students are asked to write the first four terms of the sequence, identify if it is arithmetic, geometric, or neither, and write recursive and explicit equations. The problems cover a variety of arithmetic, geometric, and non-arithmetic/non-geometric sequences for students to analyze and classify.
