Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to complete the decreasing number sequences.
1. Look at the sequence: 50, 45, 40, 35, , . The pattern is subtracting each time.
2. The sequence 100, 90, 80, 70, , is decreasing by each step.
3. Continue the decreasing sequence: 72, 66, 60, 54, ,
4. Continue the decreasing sequence: 95, 87, 79, 71, ,
5. What is the next number in the sequence: 44, 40, 36, 32, ?
26
28
30
34
6. Which number comes next in the sequence: 120, 110, 100, 90, ?
70
80
85
100
7. The sequence 25, 20, 15, 10 is a decreasing sequence.
True
False
8. In a decreasing sequence, the numbers get larger.
True
False
9. Look at the number line below. If you start at 10 and subtract 2 each time, what are the next three numbers?
10. Create your own decreasing sequence with at least 5 numbers. Describe the rule for your sequence.
