Which of the following is the correct ascending order for the numbers: 3, 1, 4, 2?
1, 2, 3, 4
2, 3, 4, 1
3, 2, 1, 4
4, 1, 2, 3
The correct ascending order is 1, 2, 3, 4 because it arranges the numbers from smallest to largest in a natural order. This basic ordering skill is key to recognizing numerical patterns.
Arrange the following numbers in descending order: 5, 3, 8, 1.
8, 5, 3, 1
1, 3, 5, 8
5, 8, 1, 3
8, 3, 1, 5
Arranging the numbers from highest to lowest gives 8, 5, 3, 1, which is the correct descending order. This exercise reinforces understanding of number magnitude and ordering.
Which ordered sequence represents a simple arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2 starting from 2?
2, 4, 6, 8
2, 5, 8, 11
2, 3, 5, 7
2, 6, 10, 14
Starting at 2 and adding 2 each time produces the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, which is a classic arithmetic progression. Recognizing this basic pattern builds foundational skills in sequence analysis.
Identify the next number in the sequence: 10, 20, 30, ?
45
35
40
50
Each term in the sequence increases by 10, so after 30 the next number is 40. This simple pattern recognition is crucial to understanding arithmetic sequences.
Unscramble the following sequence into ascending order: 9, 7, 5, 8.
7, 5, 8, 9
5, 8, 7, 9
5, 7, 8, 9
9, 8, 7, 5
Reordering the numbers from smallest to largest results in the sequence 5, 7, 8, 9. This task reinforces the basic skill of arranging numbers in proper order.
Arrange these numbers in ascending order: 27, 3, 9, 1.
27, 9, 3, 1
1, 9, 3, 27
3, 1, 9, 27
1, 3, 9, 27
When arranged in ascending order, the sequence becomes 1, 3, 9, 27. This exercise illustrates the concept of ordering even when presented in a scrambled format.
Unscramble the following prime numbers into ascending order: 5, 11, 7, 2.
2, 7, 5, 11
5, 2, 11, 7
11, 7, 5, 2
2, 5, 7, 11
The prime numbers arranged in order from smallest to largest are 2, 5, 7, 11. Recognizing prime numbers and their proper sequence is a key number theory skill.
Unscramble the arithmetic sequence: 10, 16, 7, 13 into ascending order.
16, 13, 10, 7
10, 7, 16, 13
7, 13, 10, 16
7, 10, 13, 16
When arranged in ascending order, the arithmetic sequence becomes 7, 10, 13, 16, which follows a constant difference of 3. This demonstrates the ability to recover a scrambled sequence using pattern recognition.
Unscramble the sequence: 4, 1, 8, 2 into ascending order where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2 starting from 1.
2, 1, 4, 8
8, 4, 2, 1
1, 4, 2, 8
1, 2, 4, 8
The sequence generated by repeatedly multiplying by 2 starting with 1 is 1, 2, 4, 8. Arranging the scrambled numbers in this ascending order confirms the understanding of geometric progression.
Unscramble the Fibonacci sequence: 13, 3, 8, 5 into ascending order.
3, 5, 8, 13
13, 8, 5, 3
5, 3, 8, 13
3, 8, 5, 13
The correct ascending order of the Fibonacci numbers in this set is 3, 5, 8, 13. Recognizing such recursive sequences is essential for deepening pattern recognition skills.
Reorder the following square numbers into ascending order: 16, 4, 9, 1.
4, 1, 9, 16
16, 9, 4, 1
1, 4, 9, 16
1, 9, 4, 16
The perfect squares arranged from smallest to largest are 1, 4, 9, and 16. This ordering aids in recognizing and working with quadratic relationships.
Arrange the cube numbers from the scrambled list: 27, 1, 8, 64 into ascending order.
8, 1, 27, 64
1, 27, 8, 64
1, 8, 27, 64
64, 27, 8, 1
Cube numbers arranged in order from smallest to largest yield 1, 8, 27, 64. This exercise strengthens the understanding of exponential growth in sequences.
Unscramble the arithmetic sequence: 14, 2, 10, 6 and determine its next term in the pattern.
2, 6, 10, 14, 16
2, 10, 6, 14, 18
14, 10, 6, 2, -2
2, 6, 10, 14, 18
First, arrange the scrambled numbers in ascending order to obtain 2, 6, 10, 14. Adding the common difference of 4 to 14 gives the next term, 18, which completes the sequence.
Unscramble the sequence defined by the pattern 'multiply by 3 then subtract 1' starting with 2: 14, 2, 5, 41.
2, 14, 5, 41
2, 5, 14, 41
5, 2, 14, 41
41, 14, 5, 2
Using the rule (multiply by 3 then subtract 1) starting from 2: 2 becomes 5, then 5 becomes 14, and finally 14 becomes 41. Arranging the numbers in the order they are generated confirms the correct sequence.
Unscramble the following even numbers between 10 and 20: 16, 10, 18, 14, 12.
10, 12, 14, 16, 18
12, 10, 14, 18, 16
10, 14, 12, 16, 18
18, 16, 14, 12, 10
The sequence of even numbers from 10 to 20 in ascending order is 10, 12, 14, 16, 18. Recognizing and correctly ordering these numbers is a useful exercise in pattern identification.
Unscramble the sequence based on sequential squaring starting with 2: 16, 2, 256, 4.
2, 4, 16, 256
2, 16, 4, 256
256, 16, 4, 2
4, 2, 16, 256
Starting with 2, squaring gives 4, then squaring 4 gives 16, and finally squaring 16 gives 256. Arranging the scrambled numbers in this order reinforces understanding of exponential operations.
Unscramble the following sequence of decimal increments: 1.5, 1, 2, 0.5.
0.5, 1.5, 1, 2
0.5, 1, 1.5, 2
2, 1.5, 1, 0.5
1, 0.5, 1.5, 2
The numbers increase uniformly by 0.5 when arranged from smallest to largest: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2. This ordering task highlights the importance of correct sequencing in decimal progressions.
Arrange the following negative numbers in ascending order: -3, -7, -5, -1.
-1, -3, -5, -7
-5, -7, -3, -1
-7, -3, -5, -1
-7, -5, -3, -1
With negative numbers, the most negative is the smallest; hence, arranging them in ascending order gives -7, -5, -3, -1. This problem fosters an understanding of numerical order even with negative values.
Unscramble the sequence of multiples of 7: 21, 7, 28, 14 into ascending order.
14, 7, 21, 28
28, 21, 14, 7
7, 21, 14, 28

Unscramble the sequence of triangular numbers: 6, 10, 1, 3 into ascending order.
1, 3, 6, 10
1, 6, 3, 10
3, 1, 6, 10
10, 6, 3, 1
Triangular numbers, which represent the number of dots that can form an equilateral triangle, are 1, 3, 6, and 10 when arranged in ascending order. This reinforces the ability to identify and sequence figurate numbers correctly.
