Two ways:
First way (start with 1, add the odd numbers in succession
each time)
1
1+1 = 2
2+3 = 5
5+5 = 10
10+7 = 17
17+9 = 26
26+11 = 37
36+13 = 50
50+15 = 65
Second way (add 1 to the square of each integer starting with 0
0²+1 = 0+1 = 1
1²+1 = 1+1 = 2
2²+1 = 4+1 = 5
3²+1 = 9+1 = 10
4²+1 = 16+1 = 17
5²+1 = 25+1 = 26
6²+1 = 36+1 = 37
7²+1 = 49+1 = 50
8²+1 = 64+1 = 65
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,_,_,_,_
Fibonacci sequence: (Start with two 1's, add them to get the 3rd term.
Thereafter find the next term by adding the two preceding terms.
1
1
1+1 = 2
1+2 = 3
2+3 = 5
3+5 = 8
5+8 = 13
8+13 = 21
13+21 = 34
21+34 = 55
34+55 = 89
55+89 = 144
