Mon June 13th The nth term of a sequence

KEYWORDS: sequence, term-to-term, nth term, linear sequence

Level D: write the terms of a sequence or a series of diagrams given the nth term

Level C: write the nth term of a linear sequence or a series of diagrams

LEARNING
OBJECTIVE: use the nth term and find the nth term of a linear sequence

SUCCESS
CRITERIA: Solve nth term problems

STARTER: Have a go at these two questions

Write down the first five terms of the sequence whose nth term is: n+3 n + ½ 5n – 3 n2 +3 n2-5 4n2 n/(n+11)

Aisha writes down the sequence 2, 6, 10, 14 She says the nth term is n + 4. Is she correct? Give a reason for your answer.
