    The document discusses determining missing terms in numeric sequences. It provides examples of sequences that increase or decrease by a regular amount. To find the missing terms, one must identify the pattern - whether it is multiples, odds/evens, or a regular numeric operation. Differences between terms indicate what amount is being added or subtracted to generate the next term. Non-numeric sequences also follow patterns in objects or illustrations that can be extended to determine the missing terms. Understanding sequence patterns and rules is essential to finding missing elements.

    Lesson: Determining Missing Term/s in a Sequence of Numbers

    Objective: Determine the missing term/s in a sequence of numbers (e.g. odd numbers, even
    numbers, multiples of a number, factors of a number, etc.) odd numbers, even numbers,
    multiples of a number, factors of a number, etc.) (M4AL- IIIe-5)

    Look at this sequence of numbers. What are the missing terms?

    Do the numbers increase?

    Is there a pattern in the increases?

    What is the next term?

    The difference between two numbers increases by 1 each time.

    Another example. Find the missing term in this number sequence.

    The sequence of number is in descending


    order. Get the difference between the two terms
    63 and 56, the difference is 7. The missing term
    is 49.

    A list of numbers arranged in a row is called number sequence. Each number in the sequence
    is called a term. To determine the missing term/number in each given sequence, find out if
    the pattern uses: multiples of a number, odd or even numbers, or the four fundamental
    operations that establish a pattern either in increasing or decreasing order.

    Let us study these patterns and their rule:

    In order to know the next term, you have to study the patterns and know the rule.

    In numerals, we can easily find the rule by looking into the next term and subtracting
    the term before it if it is in increasing order. The difference is what is being added to the
    existing numeral in order to get the numeral next to it.
    2, 4, 6, 8, ____, ____ 4-2=2,6-4=2,8-6=2

    Rule Add 2 to find the next term So, the missing terms are 10 and 12

    5, 10, 15, 20, ____, ____ 10 - 5 = 5 , 15 - 10 = 5 , 20 – 15 = 5

    Rule Add 5 to find the next term So, the missing terms are 25 and 30

    If it is in decreasing order, subtract the previous term from the new term. The
    difference is what is being subtracted from the existing numeral to get numeral next to it.

    33, 30, 27, 24, ____, ____ 33 -30 = 3 , 30 - 27 = 3 , 27-24 = 3

    Rule Subtract 3 to find the next term So, the missing terms are 21 and 18

    Sometimes the pattern is a combination of sequence of illustrations and numerals like


    the following:

    As what we can see, the three shapes are drawn repeatedly and
    sequentially as the numerals go higher. Therefore, the missing terms will be:

    9 10

    In some instances, patterns of figures are used. We just need to observe the series of sequence
    of objects or illustrations in order to get the next terms.

    Looking carefully into the pattern as to how the objects or figures have been arranged,
    we can see that is being added to both ends so, the next term will be:
