1Identifying Rules of
Sequence

Understanding Sequences

A sequence is a list of numbers or objects arranged in a particular order.


Each number or object in the list is called a term.

Example:

Sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
Terms: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Identifying the Rule

To identify the rule of a sequence, look for the pattern between the terms.

Example:

Sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
Rule: Add 3 to the previous term to get the next term.
Practice Exercises

Part A: Identify the rule for each sequence.

1. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Rule:
2. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
Rule:
3. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
Rule:
4. 100, 90, 80, 70, 60
Rule:
5. 1, 2, 4, 7, 11
Rule:
Part B: Find the next three terms in the sequence based on the
given rule.
1. Rule: Add 5
Sequence: 3, 8, 13, __, __, __
2. Rule: Multiply by 3
Sequence: 1, 3, 9, __, __, __
3. Rule: Subtract 2
Sequence: 20, 18, 16, __, __, __
4. Rule: Alternate adding and subtracting 3
Sequence: 5, 8, 2, 5, __, __, __
5. Rule: Square the previous term
Sequence: 2, 4, 16, __, __, __
Part C: Create your own sequence and write the rule.

Challenge Question

Can you find a rule for the following sequence? 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...

Hint: This is a famous sequence!

Note: For more advanced students, you can introduce different types of
sequences like arithmetic, geometric, and Fibonacci sequences.
