Set up practice
Choose the amount and level, then generate a repeatable version.
Choose settings above to create a sheet.
What a question looks like
Answer: 24
- Begin at 9 and add 5 for every move to the right.
- The complete sequence is 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39.
Count equal jumps from different starting points
Choose a step from two, three, four, five, ten or twenty-five, then decide whether one or two terms should be missing. The same step can begin at a different value on the next version, so learners must continue the pattern rather than recite one memorized sequence.
A number line makes the repeated addition visible. When checking, ask for the step between every adjacent pair and compare the complete sequence in the key.
Use this practice well
Ask learners to explain the repeated step and mark each jump on a number line. Start at zero for an introductory round, then use a different starting number to check the pattern rather than memorization.
What this develops
Create number sequences with missing entries, a chosen step, and an answer key.
A mistake to watch for
A learner may restart the count at a multiple of the step instead of continuing from the given starting number.
Ways to use it
- Practise equal jumps before multiplication.
- Use a five-question number-pattern warm-up.
- Check a new starting value after a correct round.
Scope and limits
These are additive sequences; the tool does not teach multiplication facts by itself.
