Build confidence with arithmetic sequences through a complete, print-free Year 8 maths lesson using I Do, We Do, You Do. This editable 82-slide PowerPoint takes pupils from recognising multiples to finding nth-term rules with positive and negative adjustments, using rules to calculate future terms and explaining whether a number belongs to a sequence. Project the lesson and pupils can work in exercise books or on mini-whiteboards, without printed worksheets.
PROGRESSIVE MODELLING
Worked examples introduce multiples, positive adjustments and negative adjustments. The six-question modelling grid pairs three teacher examples with three matched pupil attempts in a three-column by two-row layout.
20 AFL CHECKS WITH IMMEDIATE SOLUTIONS
Twenty individual assessment-for-learning questions come before independent practice. Every question is immediately followed by its dedicated solution, making it straightforward to discuss responses and decide whether pupils are ready to move on. Coverage includes increasing and decreasing sequences, negative starting terms, future terms, missing positions and deriving a rule from two known terms.
DIFFERENTIATION IN ONE PROJECTED TASK
The whole-class practice slide contains eight Developing questions, eight Secure questions, five Greater Depth questions and a numbered Super Challenge. Developing questions establish multiples and positive adjustments. Secure questions extend to negative adjustments and decreasing sequences. Greater Depth includes non-consecutive terms, membership tests, the first negative term and explanations about incorrect rules.
MISCONCEPTIONS EXPLAINED
Dedicated questions tackle adding the first term directly to dn and confusing a position-to-term rule with a term-to-term instruction. Worked solutions compare the first term with the corresponding multiple, calculate the adjustment and substitute a position to confirm the rule. Pupils also see why a non-whole-number position cannot identify a term in the sequence.
MINIMALLY DIFFERENT PRACTICE
Eighteen practice questions are organised into three blocks. One changes the adjustment, one changes the common difference while retaining the adjustment, and one moves through increasingly negative adjustments.
CHALLENGE AND REVIEW
The Super Challenge asks pupils to recover an arithmetic sequence from its third and seventh terms, find its rule and prove whether two specified values occur. The numbered solutions mirror all three stages. A six-question starter, prerequisite checks, vocabulary, deepen task, exam-style question and three exit checks provide further opportunities to assess understanding.
Includes the editable PowerPoint, a premium 4:3 thumbnail and this combined TES title and description. Covers the Sparx M991 topic of position-to-term rules for arithmetic sequences, with additional reasoning and extension.

Sequences Bundle | I Do, We Do, You Do | Year 8 Maths | Print Free
Editable Beyond Printables Year 8 maths PowerPoints. Project modelling, practice and answers; pupils can work in exercise books. The exact TES titles and resource numbers identify every included lesson.

Choose Developing, Secure or Greater Depth tasks for the class. Super Challenge questions extend reasoning within the topic. The presentations are editable. Keep questions with their matching answers when adapting the lesson for a particular class. The bundles overlap: lessons also occur in the relevant subject collection and complete Year 8 collection. Check the list before buying twice. Use the presentations in sequence or select a lesson for targeted KS3 revision. Allow pupils time to explain their methods and check their answers. Print free means worksheets are not required; pupils may need exercise books, squared paper or geometry equipment for particular tasks. These are original Beyond Printables teaching resources; they are not official Sparx products or access to the Sparx platform. The lesson files are separate PowerPoints, so a teacher can locate and reopen a single topic without working through the whole bundle. Teachers can pause on a modelled example, invite a pupil explanation, then reveal and discuss the worked answer before continuing. The guided examples support this classroom routine. The independent questions are intended for written working, not just a final answer. Pupils can compare a calculation, diagram or explanation with the displayed answer and correct it. A teacher can start a lesson with retrieval, use the checks on mini-whiteboards and direct pupils to practice suited to their current understanding. The presentation can be revisited later. For a revision lesson, select a short run of examples and practice rather than presenting every slide. For first teaching, allow more time for discussion and checking misconceptions. Where a question asks for reasoning, encourage pupils to state why the method applies. Comparing two plausible approaches can expose an error before pupils move to a new example. The sequence can be taught over several lessons or used as a topic bank. Select the next presentation after checking what pupils already know.
