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.

five
four
nine

seven
