What you'll learn

  1. 1

    A sequence is an ordered list of numbers that follow a rule — like a pattern you can spot.

  2. 2

    What is the next number in this sequence: 3, 6, 9, ?

  3. 3

    Drag the frog to hop along the number line to show the sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20.

  4. 4

    Let's find the rule for this sequence: 7, 10, 13, 16, ...

  5. 5

    Use the number line to show the sequence starting at 4, adding 3 each time, up to 16.

  6. 6

    What is the rule for this sequence: 20, 17, 14, 11, ...?

  7. 7

    Find the next term: 1, 4, 9, 16, ?
