In this worksheet, you will learn how to spot the missing numbers in a given sequence.
Example 1
Can you fill in the missing numbers in the sequence below?
| A | B | 51 | 39 | 27 |
Answer
First, we must look for clues from neighbouring terms to work out the rule.
Here 51 - 39 and 39 - 27 both equal 12.
This means that the rule for the sequence is that each term goes down by 12.
B will be 51 + 12 = 63.
A will be 63 + 12 = 75.
| 75 | 63 | 51 | 39 | 27 |
Now, let's put this method into practice!
