A worksheet on arithmetic sequences. The exercises require to find specific terms of an arithmetic sequence given a_1 and d or its first few terms, find the first few terms of an arithmetic sequences or d or specific terms given 2 of its terms (by solving a system of simultaneous equations), show that 3 numbers are successive terms of an arithmetic sequence and solve other (more advanced) problems on this topic. Detailed solutions are included.
Master linear sequences with this comprehensive Arithmetic Sequences worksheet pack. Perfect for Key Stage 4 and GCSE maths revision, homework, or exam prep covering explicit formulas and algebraic proofs.
Take your students’ sequence mastery to the next level with this ready-to-print Arithmetic Sequences Worksheet Pack! Moving past simple patterns, this resource challenges secondary school learners with algebraic applications, multi-step systems of equations, and missing variable proofs. This 8-page PDF download features 3 pages of student practice questions (11 comprehensive questions total) and 5 pages of completely worked, page-for-page teacher solutions.
What’s Included in This Resource Pack?
• Section 1: Finding Specific Terms: Calculation questions evaluating specific high-value positions (such as the 12th, 50th, or 100th term) using explicit formulas when given base components or a starting sequence.
• Section 2: Linear Systems of Equations: Students build and solve simultaneous linear equations to find the first term (a1) and common difference (d) when given two non-consecutive terms.
• Section 3: Algebraic Consecutive Terms: A critical thinking challenge where students must set up equations using sequence properties to find the value of x when given consecutive algebraic expressions (like 6x, 4x+2, and 3x+1).
• Section 4: Advanced Combined Systems: Complex equations combining multiple term sums and differences (such as a1 + a2 + a3 = 30 and a4 + a5 - a6 = 13) to isolate the sequence properties.
• Section 5: Inserting Arithmetic Means: An interval challenge requiring students to correctly position 6 numbers between 3 and 45 to build a perfectly uniform sequence.
• Full Step-by-Step Solutions: Every single question features its full algebraic layout, substitution steps, and final configurations to support quick grading or independent student self-assessment.
Perfect For:
• Key Stage 4 (KS4) Maths mastery and GCSE foundation or higher tier revision
• Homework assignments, independent study booklets, or exam preparation
• Extra practice for early finishers and advanced math tracks
• Emergency cover lesson plans (simply print and hand out!)
