Number sequences are easy to find. Just come up with a formula, plug in values for x=1, 2, 3, .. and there is your sequence. But if you are looking for well known sequences, I can think a few more you can use, beside the obvious ones like all numbers (1,2,3,...), even numbers (2,4,6,...), odd numbers(1,3,5,...), square numbers (1,4,9,..) or cube numbers(1,8,27,...). There are the triangular numbers: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ... (imagine building a triangle), Tetrahedral number: 1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56, 84, 120, 165, 220, 286, 364, 455, 560, 680, 816, 969, … (Imagine building a triangular based pyramid), Square pyramidal number: 1, 5, 14, 30, 55, 91, 140, 204, 285, 385, 506, 650, 819, ... (imagine building a squared based pyramid).
Of course these are all math-based sequences. At times non-math-based sequences can be more interesting. For example, look at this sequence: 3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 3, 5, 5, 4, 3, ... These are the number of letters it takes to spell out "one", "two", "Three", ...
I hope this helped
