9.1 Generating sequences

Sequences Vocabulary

• Sequence - an ordered list of numbers -

• Term - each number in a sequence arithmetic sequence - each term is found by adding the same number to the previous term.

• 8.9, 15.3
• 11.1, 18.5
• 6,9, 10.3, 23.7

Multiple Choice

Write the first three terms of each of these sequences.

first term is 8

term-to-term rule is: multiply by 2 then subtract 5

• [8, 9, 14]
• [8, 12, 20]
• [8, 10, 15]
• [8, 11, 17]

Multiple Choice

Write the first three terms of each of these sequences.

The first term is 15, term-to-term rule is: subtract 9 then multiply by 3

• [15, 6, 18]
• [15, 12, 36]
• [15, 24, 72]
• [15, 18, 54]

Multiple Choice

Write the first three terms of each of these sequences.

The first term is 12, term-to-term rule is: divide by 2 then add 5

• 12, 10, 8
• 12, 11, 10.5
• 12, 13, 14
• 12, 9, 7.5

Multiple Choice

The first three terms of a sequence are 8, 10, 14, …

Find the correct term-to-term rule

• multiply by 3 then subtract 14

• divide by 2 then add 6

• subtract 3 then multiply by 2

• subtract 2 then multiply by 3

Conclusion

Surely, Now i can ....

• generate increasing and decreasing linear sequences.

• can find the term-to-term rule.

9.2 Finding rules for sequences

​This pattern is made from blue squares.

1. Write the sequence of the numbers of squares.

2. Write the term-to-term rule.

3. Draw the next pattern in the sequence.

4. Explain how the sequence is formed.

5. Work out the position-to-term rule.

Multiple Choice

The rule linking the position to the term is:

• multiply the position by 2 to find the term.

• add 2 to the position to find the term.

• square the position and then add 1 to find the term.

• none of the above.
