Mason put sticky notes on some pages of his math book. The page numbers form this sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,...
a) Describe the rule for the sequence. What is the common difference?
b) Find the next two terms of the sequence. Show your work.
(In shorter than one sentence also use 8 year old words)
1 answer
a) The rule for the sequence is that we add 4 to the last number to get the next one. The common difference is 4.
b) To find the next two terms, we add 4 to 19.
19 + 4 = 23 (first next term)
23 + 4 = 27 (second next term)
So, the next two terms are 23 and 27.
