This Sequences and Series Worksheet for Algebra 2 is a comprehensive, classroom-ready resource designed to help students master arithmetic and geometric sequences. Aligned to Common Core Standard HSF.BF.A.2, this worksheet provides a full 90–120 minutes of rigorous practice on identifying sequences, writing recursive and explicit formulas, finding terms, and modeling real-world situations.

Whether used for instruction, review, test prep, or independent work, this worksheet ensures students engage with key concepts through structured and varied problem sets.

Standards Alignment:
HSF.BF.A.2 – Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.

Resource Includes:

• Fully editable worksheet file
• Complete answer key
• Definitions of key terms
• Scaffolded question structure for skill progression
• Real-world application problems for deeper understanding
• Clear section labels for ease of use and differentiation

Worksheet Outline:

Part A: Warm-Up and Key Terms

• 5 review questions on evaluating expressions, exponents, and square roots
• Definitions of critical vocabulary terms (sequence, term, recursive formula, etc.)

Part B: Identifying Types of Sequences

• 10 questions distinguishing arithmetic, geometric, or neither
• Identification of common difference or ratio

Part C: Writing Formulas

• 10 sequences with tasks to write both recursive and explicit equations

Part D: Finding Terms

• 10 problems requiring use of explicit formulas to find specific terms

Part E: Application Problems

• 10 contextual problems involving growth, decay, depreciation, and trends

Part F: Real-World Modeling

• 10 modeling tasks to translate scenarios into recursive or explicit sequences

Designed For:

• Algebra 2 classrooms
• Spiral review or focused unit instruction
• Homework, test prep, or sub plans
