    2 Different Strategies
    The Nth Term of a Sequence
    A sequence is a set of numbers written in a special order by the application of a
    definite rule. Each number in the sequence is called a term. Patterns and rules will help us
    to continue a given sequence of numbers, figures, or to fill in the missing numbers or
    symbols.
    Example 1
    Nth term Next three
    Sequence Rule
    rule terms
    Every term after the first is obtained by
    adding 3 to the number preceding it.

    (0 + 3), (3 + 3), (6 + 3), (9 + 3), …


    A. 3, 6, 9, 12, … 3n 15, 18, 21
    or
    Multiples of three.

    (3 x 1), (3 x 2), (3 x 3), (3 x 4), …

    Multiply the counting numbers by itself


    B. 1, 4, 9, 16, … or squaring counting numbers. n2 25, 36, 49

    Example 2
    Look for a pattern then write the next three terms.
