Write one of these numbers in each box to make a correct calculation.

Here are the first four terms of a number sequence.

2 5 11 23

The rule to continue this sequence is

multiply the previous term by 2 and then add 1

Work out the 5th term of this sequence.

Here are five straight rods.

All measurements are in centimetres.

The total length of the five rods is L cm.

Find a formula for L in terms of a. Write your formula as simply as possible.

Write down the coordinates of the point A.

Plot the point with coordinates (2, 9). Label this point B.

Does point B lie on the straight line with equation y = 4 x + 1? You must show how you get your answer.

On the grid, draw the line with equation x = –2

The length of a rectangle is twice as long as the width of the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is 32 cm².

and
348 ÷ 2 = 174

What mistake did Jacqui make in her method?
