Name: Worksheet

Checking understanding of sequences

Task A: Sequences with a constant additive pattern


1) These pupils are making number patterns from a rule

Aisha Andeep Izzy Jacob Jun Lucas Laura Sam Alex Sofia
Aisha says any number, Andeep adds a number to it. Each pupil then adds the same
number Andeep added. For each question, justify your answer.
a) If Aisha says 6 and Andeep says 10, what will Izzy say?

b) If Aisha says 6 and Andeep says 10, what will Sofia say?

c) After a different starting number Sam says 17 and Alex says 19. What did Aisha
say?

d) If Aisha says 4 to start and Jun says 40 What will Lucas say?

e) Aisha starts with 10, only Lucas’ number is another integer, what could Andeep
have said?
