This resource features a starter on handout, a discussion of what sequences are, and builds to the term-to-term rule.
Pupils are required to find the next two terms for sequences and add answers together to generate a three-digit code to unlock combination lock.
It then moves on to a dominoes activity which develops understanding of position-to-term rule.
Then, there is a plenary with questions of varying difficulty.
