What are sequences?

A sequence is just a special kind of list where things happen one after another, like steps in a dance or numbers on a counting game.

Imagine you're lining up your toy cars to race them. You might put the red car first, then the blue one, and finally the green one. That line, red, blue, green, is a sequence because each car comes in a certain order.

Think of a song you know by heart. Each note or word follows the one before it, just like steps in a staircase. A sequence works the same way: you go from one thing to the next, following a pattern or rule.

Sometimes, you can even predict what comes next! If your toys are lined up red, blue, green, and they always repeat that order, you know the next car will be red again.

Sequences aren’t just for toys, they’re everywhere, from counting numbers to the days of the week. They help us understand patterns in a fun, simple way.
