Topic: Sequences (Foundation - Unit 2)

Specification References: N6.1 N6.1 Generate terms of a sequence using term-to-term and position to term definitions of the sequence.

Candidates should be able to:

• generate common integer sequences, including sequences of odd or even integers, squared integers, powers of 2, powers of 10 and triangular numbers
• generate simple sequences derived from diagrams and complete a table of results describing the pattern shown by the diagrams

Notes

Candidates should be able to describe how a sequence continues and will need to be familiar with the idea of a non-linear sequence, such as the triangular numbers or a sequence where the n^th term is given by n² + 4.

Examples

1. Write down the next three terms of this sequence    23,   18,   13,   8,   ...,   ...,   ....
