Sequences Worksheets
Sequences are a fundamental concept in mathematics, and understanding how to work with them is essential for success in KS3 and KS4 maths. A sequence is a set of numbers that follow a specific pattern or rule. For example, the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 is an arithmetic sequence because the numbers increase by a fixed amount (2) each time.
At Cazoom Maths, we offer a range of worksheets to help students understand and master this tricky topic! Our fun and engaging printable PDF worksheets include clear explanations and are available for download below. Whether you are a student looking to improve your understanding of sequences or a teacher looking for resources to use in your classroom, Cazoom Maths has something to offer.

Printable KS3 and KS4 SEQUENCES Worksheet With Answers
Sequences are a fundamental concept in mathematics, and understanding how to work with them is essential for success in secondary school maths.
A sequence is a set of numbers that follow a specific pattern or rule. For example, the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 is an arithmetic sequence because the numbers increase by a fixed amount (2) each time. Another example is the sequence 3, 9, 27, 81, which is a geometric sequence because the numbers increase by a factor of 3 each time.
Why are sequences important?
Sequences are important because they allow us to make predictions about future values in the sequence based on the pattern or rule. This is a useful skill in many real-world situations, such as calculating compound interest or understanding population growth.
Additionally, sequences often appear on standardized tests, such as the GCSEs and A-Levels in the UK, and understanding how to work with them is crucial for success on these exams.
Sequences worksheets available on Cazoom Maths
At Cazoom Maths, we offer a range of worksheets to help students understand and work with sequences. Some of the types of worksheets we offer include:
Arithmetic sequence worksheets: These worksheets focus on arithmetic sequences, which are sequences of numbers that increase by a fixed amount each time. Our worksheets include exercises on finding the common difference, writing the explicit formula for the nth term, and finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.
Geometric sequence worksheets: These worksheets focus on geometric sequences, which are sequences of numbers that increase by a fixed factor each time. Our worksheets include exercises on finding the common ratio, writing the explicit formula for the nth term, and finding the nth term of a geometric sequence.
Mixed sequence worksheets: These worksheets include a mix of arithmetic and geometric sequences and require students to determine the type of sequence and use the appropriate formulas to solve problems.
