Starter – Can you represent the blue sequence in the different ways shown?
Picture of sequence Nth term 3,5,7,9,11,13,… Table of results Term to term rule
Picture of sequence Nth term x2 + 1 2n + 1 3,5,7,9,11,13,… Add 2 on each time Table of results Term to term rule
Is there a visual way to display this information on paper? How can you predict the next pattern?

Task 1 Pick one of the following sequences and represent it in the ways show. When you have done it put your sequence onto a graph
Picture of sequence Nth term 6,9,12,15,… Table of results Term to term rule
Picture of sequence Nth term 4,11,18,26,… Table of results Term to term rule
Picture of sequence Nth term 16,10,4,-2 Table of results Term to term rule
Picture of sequence Nth term 2,8,18,32,… Table of results Term to term rule
Describing the pattern so far… Table of values Drawing of sequence 3,5,7,9,11,13,… Graph x2 + 1 Nth term rule Term to term rule Add 2 on each time 2n + 1
True or False? 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, This next term in this sequence is 22?
True or False? 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, If I told someone that this sequence went up by 3 that would be enough information for them to write down the first 5 terms of the sequence without having seen it.
True or False? 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, This third term in this sequence is 10?
True or False? 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, The 5th term in this sequence is 16 16 x 2 = 32 so the 10th term must be 32
True or False? 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, This sequence starts on 4 and goes up by 3 so the nth term rule is 4n + 3
True or False? 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, The 100th term in this sequence is 403
True or False? 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 52 is not a number in this sequence.
