Worksheet Overview

In this activity, we will fill in the missing numbers in the given sequences.

Example

Fill in the missing numbers in this sequence.

Answer

Look for clues from neighbouring terms to work out the rule.

Here 50 - 39 and 39 - 28 both equal 11.

This means that the rule for the sequence is that each term goes up by 11.

The first term will be 28 - 11 = 17

The last term will be 50 + 11 = 61

Let's have a go at some questions now.
