- Examples of what pupils should

- What if pupils find
this a barrier?
What if pupils find this a barrier?
Pupils may need to go back to Step 3, which links counting on and back to forming linear sequences.
Emphasise the difference between these linear sequences and other predictable
sequences such as square and triangular numbers.
Get pupils to classify a set of given sequences in different ways.
