Arithmetic Reasoning
What number comes next in the sequence?
2, -3, 0, -5, ____
A common topic in Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB is patterns and sequences. As an ASVAB tutor, I see the importance of reviewing patterns and sequences with my students in order to improve their ASVAB math score. I remind my students to look at the pattern that is happening from one number to the next. I tell them not to look at the overall picture the numbers present. Instead, pay attention to the change that occurs between one number and the next and continue the pattern. Do you know what number comes next in the above pattern?
