5. 227, 219, 211, ?,
195, 187, ?
What are the missing numbers
in this sequence?
How do you know?
6. Rule is NN = LN - 8
The missing numbers are 203
and 179. It is a descending
sequence.
7. 722, 632, 542, ?,
362, 272, 182, ?
1. What are the missing numbers
in this sequence?
2. Is it descending or ascending?
3. What is the rule for this sequence?
8. It is an descending sequence.
The missing numbers are 452
and 92.
Rule is NN = LN - 90
10. TASK:
You are now going to use calculators to
generate sequences. They must include
ascending and descending sequences.
Record your rule and generate 8 terms in
the sequence. Then omit 2 numbers and
give the sequence to your partner to
solve.
Also try and use sequences that include
negative numbers.
11. Can you work out the missing terms in
this sequence?
23, ?, ?, ?, 47
How could we find the middle term?
12. Use the same strategy for this
sequence?
37, ?, ?, ?, 25
13. What if there are four missing terms?
19, ?, ?, ?, ?, 39
What is the rule for this sequence?
14. And this one?
57, ?, ?, ?, ?, 12
What is the rule for this sequence?
15. By the end of this lesson, you should
be able to:
Recognise and extend number
sequences formed by counting on or
back from any number.
Explain a rule orally and in writing.
