Rules: The first card tells you the number to multiply your first term by (red means negative integer; black means positive integer)
The second card tells you the number to add or subtract to your first term (red means subtract; black means add).
A King of any suit is worth 0, an Ace is worth 1, a Jack is 11 and a Queen is 12.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
You can eliminate the card generator and use a pack of cards if working in person. Students require knowledge of linear sequences, creating a direct rule and negative integers. This fits with the New Zealand Maths Curriculum - Stage 7 - Find and represent relationships in spatial and number patterns using General rules (for linear relationships) & Use a broad range of strategies for whole numbers and decimals with negative integers.
