I have about 20 numbered questions in a row (throughout several pages) for a student book and, in between each page is a blank page with a heading for instructor notes.

I have the the numbering's...well, "numbering", set to "<n=1>.\t" for 1 and "<n+>.\t" for everything else, with autonumbering checked. Yet, after each blank page, the numbering begins at 2, instead of whatever the next sequential number should be.

This is probably a simple fix, but it's been a few years since I've worked in FrameMaker and never had this happen before

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Your "blank" pages are likely to have been manually inserted, and that makes them disconnected pages. Because they're disconnected, they break the automatically-connected text flow, and that break forces the counter to restart.

Assuming you want automated numbering, you need to find a different method of creating blank pagess, such as setting the blanks to use a special master page without a text frame, setting them to a text flow other than your auto-connected one, or creating them by inserting a para tag with a lot of white space.
