  1. What number comes next: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ?

    Answer: 64

    Each term doubles, so 32×2=64.

  2. Find the missing number: 1, 5, 14, 30, 55, ?

    Answer: 91

    These are sums of consecutive squares (square pyramidal numbers); 55+6²=91.

  3. Next term: 9, 16, 25, 36, ?

    Answer: 49

    These are squares of 3,4,5,6,7, so 7²=49.

  4. Complete: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, ?

    Answer: 22

    Differences increase by 1 (1,2,3,4,5,6), so 16+6=22.

  5. What comes next: 100, 50, 25, 12.5, ?

    Answer: 6.25

    Each term is halved, so 12.5÷2=6.25.

  6. Find the next number: 3, 5, 9, 17, 33, ?

    Answer: 65

    Each term doubles and subtracts 1 (×2-1), so 33×2-1=65.

  7. Complete the pattern: 12, 21, 30, 39, ?

    Answer: 48

    Each term increases by 9, so 39+9=48.
