GROUP ACTIVITY!
4, 10, 16, 22, 28
Write down the next two terms of the
sequence.
b) Write down an expression for the
nth term of this sequence.
c) Work out the 50  term of the sequence.
th
Solution: 4, 10, 16, 22, 28
a) From looking at the sequence we can see that each term
is 6 larger than the previous term. We say the term-to-
term rule is "add 6". Therefore the next two terms are 34
and 40.
b) The nth term of a sequence is always written in the form
"?n + ?".
The number in front of the "n" is always the difference to
get from one term to the next. Since the difference is 6,
the first part of our rule will be "6n". The rule follows the
six times table: 6, 12, 18, 24... etc.
Now compare the 6 times table with our rule:
6 x table 6 12 18 24 30
Sequence 4 10 16 22 28
The numbers in the sequence are always 2 less than the 6 times
table so we "adjust" our rule by subtracting 2. Now putting this
together gives us: nth term = 6n - 2.
c) Now we know the nth term = 6n - 2 we just need to substitute n =
50 in order to find the 50thterm of the sequence.
So: The 50th term = 6 x 50 - 2
                        = 300 – 2 = 298

ACTIVITY:
PAIR-SHARE:
GROUP ACTIVITY: FINDING THE NTH
TERM.
IN EACH QUESTION THERE ARE FOUR
TERMS OF A SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS:
A) WRITE DOWN THE RULE USING N TO
REPRESENT THE NTH TERM.
B) FIND THE 10TH AND 15TH TERMS.
Group Activity: Distribute this
activity sheet to each group:
ANSWERS:
HOW DO WE FIND / FORMULATE THE RULES IN
FINDING THE NEXT TERM IN A SEQUENCE?
• Determine the order of numbers if it is ascending or descending.
• Find the difference between the consecutive terms.
• To find the rule of the next term, use the difference between
terms.
• Example:
WRITE DOWN THE NEXT TERM FOR EACH OF THE
FF. SEQUENCES, THEN FIND THE RULE.
A) WRITE DOWN THE RULE USING N TO REPRESENT THE
NTH TERM.
B) FIND THE 30TH TERMS.
Study the following sequence of figure. Then, draw the next
figure and write the rule used to find the answer.
