Find the first 5 terms of each of the sequences below. Do
you notice any patterns?

2n + 1 → 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 3n – 1 → 2, 5, 8, 11, 14

2n + 5 → 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 3n – 4 → -1, 2, 5, 8, 11

The number multiplying n tells you what a sequence goes up/down by each time

How could you find the second part of the nth term formula?

What would the formula for this sequence be?

LO: To be able to use the nth term to generate a linear and quadratic sequence.

• What will the formula for this sequence be?

3, 5, 7, 9, 11…

It goes up in 2s
a+(n-1)d
→ The formula will start with ‘2n’

All the numbers are 1 bigger than the 2 times table!


→ The formula will end with ‘+ 1’
