Generate and describe linear number sequences
Generate and describe linear number sequences (including those involving fractions and decimals), and find the term-to-term rule
What you'll learn
- 1
A linear number sequence is like a skipping rope — you jump the same amount each time!
- 2
What is the rule for this sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15?
- 3
Jump along the number line to make the sequence: start at 2, add 4 each time. Land on the 4th number.
- 4
Let's find the 5th term of this sequence: start at 7, add 3 each time.
- 5
Now you try! Start at 10, add 6 each time. What is the 4th term?
- 6
A sequence starts at 4 and adds 5 each time. What is the 3rd term?
- 7
What is the rule for this sequence: 20, 17, 14, 11, 8?
