Follow the instructions for each section. Good luck!
Fill in the missing numbers to complete the decreasing patterns.
1. 10, 9, 8, , 6,
2. 15, 14, , 12, , 10
3. 20, 18, 16, , 12,
4. 25, 23, , 19, , 15
Look at each sequence and write the rule (e.g., 'subtract 1', 'subtract 2').
1. 12, 11, 10, 9
2. 18, 16, 14, 12
3. 30, 27, 24, 21
Choose the number that comes next in the sequence.
1. 7, 6, 5,
3
4
6
8
2. 14, 12, 10,
9

Put the following numbers in decreasing order (greatest to least).
8, 5, 10, 7
15, 11, 13, 9
22, 25, 20, 23
Read each statement and decide if it is True or False.
1. The sequence 3, 6, 9, 12 is a decreasing sequence.
True
False
2. In a decreasing sequence, numbers get smaller.
True
False
Draw circles on the number line to show a decreasing sequence starting from 10 and subtracting 2 each time.
