Recognize. Calculate. Write a rule.

Sequences and series worksheets

Connect a list of terms with its pattern, an explicit formula and an initialized recursive rule. Compare sequence types, fill missing arithmetic or geometric means, or calculate finite polynomial and exponential sums, arithmetic sums and finite or infinite geometric sums, with a separate answer key.

Test the rule at every step

An arithmetic sequence adds the same difference each time. A geometric sequence multiplies by the same ratio. Check all consecutive terms before deciding that the rule holds.

Choose focused practice in general sequence rules and recursion, comparisons, arithmetic and geometric means, general series, arithmetic series, finite geometric series or infinite geometric series. Use a negative difference to practice decreasing arithmetic sequences, or a negative ratio to explore alternating signs.
