Worksheet Overview

In this activity, we will fill in the missing numbers in the given sequences.

 

Example

Fill in the missing numbers in this sequence.

 

? 28 39 50 ?

 

Answer

Look for clues from neighbouring terms to work out the rule.

Here 50 - 39  and 39 - 28  both equal 11.

This means that the rule for the sequence is that each term goes up by 11.

The first term will be 28 - 11 = 17

The last term will be 50 + 11 = 61

 

17 28 39 50 61
