Sequences Practice Worksheet

Look at how each term changes to find the pattern. For nth-term rules, n means the position of a term in the sequence. Show your working when asked.

Spot and continue patterns

1.Write the list numbers that follow a consistent pattern.
2.Describe the rule connecting the terms 6, 11, 16, 21, 26.
3.Describe the rule connecting the terms 72, 64, 56, 48, 40.
4.Describe the rule connecting the terms 2, 10, 50, 250.
5.Write the next two terms: 9, 18, 27, 36, __, __.
6.Write the next two terms: 95, 85, 75, 65, __, __.
7.Write the next two terms: 4, 12, 36, 108, __, __.
8.Write the next two terms: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, __, __.

Find terms and rules

9.A sequence begins 8, 13, 18, 23, ... Find its 6th term.
10.A sequence begins 8, 13, 18, 23, ... Find its 11th term.
11.Write an nth-term rule for the sequence 8, 13, 18, 23, ...
