Sequences and Sums

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a collection of number sequences that require students to observe and determine the pattern to continue the sequence. It includes a mix of whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, each forming a unique pattern. The students’ task is to discern how the sequence is developing—whether through addition, subtraction, or another method—and then apply this pattern to extend the sequence by filling in the blanks with the appropriate numbers. The sequences become progressively more challenging, with the inclusion of fractions providing an additional layer of complexity.

The “Sequences and Sums” worksheet is an exercise in pattern recognition and arithmetic operations. It teaches students to identify numerical patterns and use operations such as addition and subtraction to continue them. The inclusion of decimals and fractions aims to solidify their understanding of these concepts and how they can be manipulated within sequences. By solving these patterns, students enhance their mathematical reasoning skills and prepare for more advanced topics in mathematics.
