• An ordered list of numbers

• A random list of numbers

How do you find the pattern in a sequence?

• By dividing the terms

• By adding all the numbers

• By comparing one term with the next

• By multiplying the terms

• Subtract $1.00

• Add $1.75

What does it mean to extend a sequence?

• To stop the sequence

• To repeat the sequence

• To continue the sequence beyond the known terms

• To reverse the sequence

In the example of a decreasing sequence, what operation is used?

• Division

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

What is the difference between the first two terms in the decreasing sequence example?

• 4.3

• 2.3

• 1.3

• 3.3

How can you determine if a sequence involves addition?

• If the terms are constant

• If the terms are decreasing

• If the terms are random

• If the terms are increasing

What should you do if a sequence decreases from one term to the next?

• Use addition

• Use multiplication

• Use subtraction

• Use division
