Explicitly talk to the class about sequences. A segment of a review series for the General Certificate of Secondary Education math assessment provides a review of arithmetic sequences. Pupils watch a video showing how to find terms given a formula for the sequence along with finding the formula given a sequence of numbers. Class members then practice those skills with the provided learning exercise.
