Counting and Sequences
Counting and Sequences
A number sequence is a list of numbers that are linked by a
rule. If you work out the rule, you can work out the next
numbers in the sequence.
Counting and Sequences
A linear sequence goes from one term to the next by always adding (or
subtracting) the same value. The number added (or subtracted) at each
stage of the linear sequence is called the common difference.
