Read each question carefully and complete the decreasing number patterns. Remember, decreasing means the numbers are getting smaller!
Fill in the missing numbers to complete the decreasing sequences.
1. 20, 18, 16, , 12,
2. 35, 30, , 20, , 10
3. 100, 90, 80, , , 50
4. 44, 40, , 32, , 24
Choose the correct number that comes next in each decreasing sequence.
5. What number comes next in the sequence: 50, 45, 40, 35, ?
30
40
55
25
6. Which number continues the pattern: 24, 22, 20, 18, ?
19
20

7. Look at the sequence: 40, 38, 36, 34. What is the rule for this decreasing pattern?
8. The sequence is 75, 70, 65, 60. Describe the rule for this decreasing pattern.
Determine if the following statements about decreasing sequences are True or False.
9. In a decreasing sequence, the numbers get larger.
True
False
10. The sequence 15, 12, 9, 6 is a decreasing sequence.
True
False
11. Use the number line to show a decreasing sequence starting at 10 and decreasing by 2 each time. Circle the numbers that are part of the sequence.
