If you continue to count back in 2s, you can go beyond


zero into negative numbers.

Counting Sequences

This is called a sequence. Tip
You need to be able to count on or back from any number Always check your
in jumps of any size. arithmetic carefully
when counting on
Example and back – it’s easy
Counting from 5 in steps of 4: 5, 9, 13, 17… to make mistakes!

Count back in 100s from 953: 953, 853, 753…

Sometimes you are not given the steps.

Example
What are the next three terms or numbers in
this sequence?
4, 10, 16,
First you need to work out the jump between each
number in our sequence.
+6 +6
To jump from 4 to 10, you add 6.
To jump from 10 to 16, you add 6.
4 10 16
+6 +6 +6 +6 +6
You can find the next terms by
adding 6 each time.
4 10 16 22 28 34

Quick Test
1. Order these numbers from smallest to largest:
10 −3 5 −9 6 −2 0 −5 Key Words
2. Fill in the next three terms counting back in 3s: • Negative number
4 1 −2 • Positive number
3. Fill in the next three terms counting on in 50s: • Sequence
