Sequence

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, called terms, that follow a rule, such as $2, 5, 8, 11, \dots$. Each term has a position, and the general term $T_n$ gives the value at position $n$.

Recognising the pattern lets us predict any later term.

You meet Sequence in the Progressions chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Sequence means but use it fluently in a full solution.

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Sequence (EN) · Jujukan (BM) · 数列 (中文)
