GCSE subject content
GCSE specifications in mathematics should require students to recognise and use sequences of triangular, square and cube numbers, simple arithmetic progressions, Fibonacci type sequences, quadratic sequences, and simple geometric progressions (r^n where n is an integer, and r is a rational number > 0 or a surd) and other sequences
Tier: This item is set in standard type: all students develop confidence and competence with it. “Fibonacci type sequences, quadratic sequences, and simple geometric progressions (r^n where n is an integer, and r is a rational number > 0” is underlined; “or a surd) and other sequences” is bold (Higher tier only).
