# 7/8 Higher maths

  ![Image of 7/8 Higher maths](https://files.schudio.com/alston-moor-federation-2/images/blog/Sequences.jpg)  3 February 2026   [R Gordon](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/author/rgordon)   [Key Stage 3 Learning](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/category/key-stage-3-learning)

Our year 7/8 higher group have been doing some fantastic work on equations, inequalities and sequences. They have been able to multiply out and factorise brackets. Work on equations with the group being able to both form and solve equations and simple inequalities. As we finish off sequences students are able to find the term-to-term rules and find the nth term rule or a range of linear and non-linear sequences.

Can you complete the sequence below?
