I am looking for number sequences like the Fibonacci Sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8...). I would like to know some that have at least 5 or 6 numbers under 10.

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

The sequence might properly be expressed as follows: - 11^3 * 10, - 11^2 * 10, - 11^one million * 10, ( ) ... by utilising watching the trend, we can end that the term interior the parenthesis is - 11^0 * 10, or - 10.

I don' t know if this will help you or not, seeing as it isn't really a sequence, but i think the "divine proportion" is interesting. look it up. it should lead to some more legitimate answers to your question.

1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
1,3,5,7,9

thered loads more there you can do something like two numbers forward then the next one can be one step back etc.
