Number sequences are lists of numbers that follow patterns. For example, triangle numbers increase by adding 1 then 2 then 3 etc... and square numbers increase by adding 3 then 5 then 7 etc... Learning to spot the patterns enables you to know which numbers are going to come next in any given sequence.
