Arithmetic vs geometric
Arithmetic sequences change by adding the same difference each step (for example 5, 9, 13, 17 adds 4). Geometric sequences multiply by the same ratio each step (for example 3, 6, 12, 24 doubles). The worksheet always shows four terms so the rule can be spotted before writing the next two.
Difficulty note
Geometric terms use small starting values and ratios of 2 or 3 so answers stay reasonable for mental math or a short written table.
