Summary and self assessment
Curricular Targets
We are learning to:
• Describe simple sequences.
• Find the term-to-term rule for simple
sequences and practical contexts.
• Find the position-to-term (nth term) rule
for simple sequences and practical

Question One
Here are the first 5 numbers of a simple
sequence
1, 5, 9, 13, 17 …
write down the next two numbers of the
sequence
write down in terms of n an expression for
the nth term in this sequence

Question Two
Each term of a number sequence is made
by adding1 to the numerator and 2 to the
denominator of the previous term.
Here is the beginning of the number
