Used by AQA, Edexcel and OCR
Specification A23, A24 · Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3
An ordered list of numbers, shapes or other objects that follows a rule.
Revise: Generating SequencesA sequence is ordered: changing the order changes the sequence.
For a term-to-term rule, state or identify the first term; without it, the rule does not determine a unique sequence.
In a diagram sequence, count the first few patterns systematically and check that your rule reproduces every count shown.
Substitute a few positions into any proposed position-to-term rule to check that it generates the given sequence.

An ordered list of numbers or other objects whose members are called terms.
Revise: Generating Sequences and Linear RulesA sequence is an ordered list of terms. Position matters: the first term has position 1, the second has position 2, and so on. To continue a sequence, look at how its terms are related.
