The cards Question What is a square number? Tap to flip Answer The product of two repeated integers. Question What is a cube number? Tap to flip Answer The product of three repeated integers. Question What is a triangular (triangle) number? Tap to flip Answer A number that can be represented by a pattern of dots arranged into an equilateral triangle. Question What is a sequence? Tap to flip Answer An ordered list of terms, usually formed according to a rule. Question In the nth term of a sequence, what does n stand for? Tap to flip Answer The term number. Question Are special number sequences arithmetic or geometric? Tap to flip Answer Neither: they are generated using different rules. Question To decide what type a sequence is, which terms should you check the relationship between? Tap to flip Answer All the stated consecutive terms, not just the first two. Question How is each term of a Fibonacci sequence found? Tap to flip Answer It is the sum of the two previous terms. Question What is an alternating sequence? Tap to flip Answer A sequence where consecutive terms change sign. Question How else can the Fibonacci sequence be represented, apart from as a list? Tap to flip Answer Graphically. Question What is an arithmetic sequence? Tap to flip Answer A sequence where the difference between successive terms is a constant. Question What is another name for an arithmetic sequence? Tap to flip Answer A linear sequence. Question In an arithmetic sequence, what is the term-to-term rule? Tap to flip Answer The common difference. Question What can a sequence be compared to, to help identify the translation in its nth term rule? Tap to flip Answer An appropriate multiplication table. Question Can the nth term be found for every arithmetic sequence? Tap to flip Answer Yes. Question Must the common difference of an arithmetic sequence be a positive integer? Tap to flip Answer No. Arithmetic sequences can be increasing or decreasing and the common difference can be any value. Question What can the nth term rule tell you about a given number? Tap to flip Answer Which term number it is. Question For a value to be in a sequence, what must n be when you solve the nth term equation? Tap to flip Answer A positive integer. Question If solving gives a term number that is not a positive integer, what does that tell you? Tap to flip Answer The value is not in the sequence. Question Besides generating the terms, what knowledge can you use to reason whether a value is in a sequence? Tap to flip Answer Knowledge of multiples. Question How can you decide which way to round a non-integer n when finding the first term above or below a value? Tap to flip Answer Calculate the terms either side of the non-integer value of n. Question When an arithmetic sequence is plotted as a graph, what is its nth term rule? Tap to flip Answer The equation of the line. Question When plotting a sequence, what pairs of values are plotted? Tap to flip Answer (term number, term value). Question When plotting a sequence, why should the points not be joined? Tap to flip Answer They are discrete values. Question What is a geometric sequence? Tap to flip Answer A sequence with a constant multiplicative relationship between successive terms. Question What is the common ratio of a geometric sequence? Tap to flip Answer The constant multiplier between successive terms. Question How do you find the common ratio of a sequence? Tap to flip Answer Divide each term by the term before it; if the results are all the same, that is the common ratio. Question If a sequence has a common ratio, what type of sequence is it? Tap to flip Answer Geometric. Question Must the common multiplier of a geometric sequence be a positive integer? Tap to flip Answer No. It must be the same between consecutive terms, but it can be any value. Question What is interest? Tap to flip Answer Money added to savings or loans. Question What is compound interest calculated on? Tap to flip Answer The original amount and the interest accumulated over the previous period. Question What type of sequence can compound interest be thought of as? Tap to flip Answer A geometric sequence. Question What percentage increase does a multiplier of 1.3 give? Tap to flip Answer 30%.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong. Flash Feed is not affiliated with any source named here.
