Year 7_WS_Sequences and Functions
1. Write the next two terms in each sequence and the term-to-term rule for that sequence.
2. Use the term-to-term rule to generate the first five terms in each sequence. The first term is
given for you.
a) Add 3. Start at 1 …… …… …… …… ……
b) Subtract 4. Start at 96 …… …… …… …… ……
3. Fill in the missing terms and write the term to term rule for each sequence.
a) 1, ___, 7, ___, 13 Term to term rule…………………………………
10th term: ……….
b) 5, ___, 13, ___, 21 Term to term rule………………………………… 10th
term: ……….
c) 13, ___, 5, ___, -3, ___ Term to term rule………………………………… 10th
term: ……….
4. a) The first term is 5. The term-to-term rule is ‘add 7’. Work out the 4th term. ……….
b) The first term is 10. The term-to-term rule is ‘take away 6’. Work out the th term.
……….
c) The first term is -7. The term-to-term rule is ‘add 3’. Work out the 5th term. ……….
