Not a pattern and not enough terms (maybe) to find a pattern

Only looks like some random one-digit whole numbers. No repeats seen in first five terms. If that's all then possible next choice could be any one of 2, 3, 6.

I hope this was just a puzzle your teacher gave, because it is not really a good math problem, IMO. It might be the sequence of single digit numbers listed in alphabetical order.

In that case, six (6) comes next.

eight
five
four
nine
one
seven

three
two
zero
