Number sequences (Expert)

What your child practises

Skills: Sequence puzzles (level 3).

Logical reasoning, patience and step-by-step problem solving.

What’s included

• 15 questions
• An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
• An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 13–18. That’s Grade 8–12 in the US, Year 9–13 in England, JSS 2 – SS 3 in Nigeria and Class 8–12 in India.

How to use it

• Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
• Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
• Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
• Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Puzzles make great early-finisher or calm-down activities – keep a few printed copies in a folder.
2. 2Hold back the answer and give a small hint instead (“Look at the top row”), so the “aha!” moment stays theirs.
3. 3Encourage teens to set their own target (say 12 out of 15) and track it over a few attempts.
