Day 1
Arithmetic
Sequence
I will identify arithmetic and
geometric sequences.
Add or subtract the same value to the previous
term to get the next term.

Stating a
Rule
3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28 . . .
Use the words “starting with,” “previous,”
and “next” in writing your rule
Starting with three, five is added to the previous
number to come up with the next number.
