Each curriculum item can now route into topic and skill-level detail.
Recognise constant difference patterns in sequences
Determine a and d from an AP
Use an = a + (n - 1)d to find a required term
Solve for n when a term value is known
Use term information to determine unknown AP parameters
Explain why Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d] works
Calculate Sn using the AP sum formula
Apply Sn = n/2(a + l) when the last term is known
Use AP to solve repeated increase or decrease contexts
Use AP for rows, seats and staged arrangements
Solve daily-life sequence and total problems
Find terms between two given numbers to form an AP
Find common terms or equal term positions across progressions
Verify terms and sums using direct sequence reasoning
