Spotting arithmetic sequences

Arithmetic sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 with equal +3 jumps, and paired first-last terms showing the arithmetic series formula

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, where each number is called a term. In an arithmetic sequence, the gap between consecutive terms is always the same; this constant gap is called the common difference, ddd.

Step-by-step lessons covering CIE IGCSE Maths Sequences (Higher) for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 3 (Core) or Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Extended) format. Start with the Core-tier fundamentals in number and algebra before moving on to the more demanding Extended-only topics like calculus-adjacent algebra and advanced trigonometry.
