Purplemath: Finding the Next Number in a Sequence

In this algebra worksheet, students find the next number in the sequence and calculate the formula for the sequence. There are 23 questions.

In this terms in a sequence instructional activity, students solve and complete 32 various types of problems. First, they simplify each of the equations listed. Then, students find the number of arrangements found using the information...

Twenty-eight problems, two pages, and an answer key all related to number patterns, recursive formula, and arithmetic sequence. Leaners find the next number in the pattern or sequence and determine the arithmetic formula to go with the...

The example problem is this video has a sequence of numbers that decrease by a fixed amount with each iteration, and one needs to find the 100th number in the sequence. Sal shows the listener how to find the pattern between the number...

It is not your typical type of sequence. The resource presents a number sequence that is not generated using a mathematical formula. Saying a terms digits creates the next term in the sequence, allowing learners to see patterns these...

1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221. Can you figure out what comes next in the number sequence? Alex Gendler reveals the answer and explains how beyond just being a neat puzzle, this type of sequence has practical applications as well.
