Finding the missing numbers in a sequence
Think systematically. What is the difference between 2 numbers? Is it the same each time? Can you spot a pattern?
2, 4, 6 ... The pattern is adding 2 each time so the next number is 8, then 10 ...
10, 5, 0 ... The pattern is subtracting 5 each time, so the next number is -5, -10 ...
8, 17, 35 ... The pattern is doubling and adding 1, so the next number will be 71, 143 ...
Choose your Chilli Challenge 1, 2, 3, or a mixture!

It rains / It’s raining. It’s fine. It’s hot. It’s cold. It snows / It's snowing. It’s windy. |
We can use this vocabulary to describe what the weather is like at different times of the year.
For example:

In January, it snows.
Remember that en means in when we are talking about times of the year.
Also remember:
- Words for months in French do not begin with a capital.
- Words for months in English do begin with a capital.
