Saxon 5/4 Lesson 3

2. New Concept: Sequences
▪ Counting numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6…..
▪ Counting by twos: 2,4,6,8,……
▪ Counting by fives: 5, 10, 15,20, …………
▪ A counting pattern is a sequence.
▪ The dots at the end mean the sequence continues without an end.
▪ If we study the sequence we can find a rule for the sequence and find
more numbers in it.
