Sequence the learning to a review. Learners work through 21 problems dealing with sequences. They must identify the type of sequence, write a recursive and explicit formula for each sequence, find a specific term. and describe the graph...

Write formulas that depend upon previous terms. Individuals watch a video that explains how to create a recursive formula based on a sequence of numbers. Learners find out how to determine whether a sequence is geometric or arithmetic...

Find a faster way to determine the 100th term of a sequence. Learners watch a video providing instruction on a way to find the nth term of a sequence—without writing down all the previous terms. Scholars create explicit formulas for...

Does sequence matter? Young mathematicians learn how to determine the rule for arithmetic sequences by watching a video. They apply the rules to determine a specific term of the sequence.

Explicitly talk to the class about sequences. A segment of a review series for the General Certificate of Secondary Education math assessment provides a review of arithmetic sequences. Pupils watch a video showing how to find terms given...

It is not your typical type of sequence. The resource presents a number sequence that is not generated using a mathematical formula. Saying a terms digits creates the next term in the sequence, allowing learners to see patterns these...

Explore the building blocks of the Fibonacci Sequence. Given the lengths of sides of squares, pupils deduce the pattern to determine the lengths of two more squares. Learners continue to work with recursive formulas to generate numerical...

Work through a sequence in discovering number patterns. Using the interactive, pupils explore arithmetic and geometric sequences by setting the initial value and the common difference or ratio. Learners distinguish between the two types...

Take a look at another alternating sequence. The resource provides a graphical display of a sequence that alternates between two values. Pupils use the display to determine whether the sequence has a limit. Given a theory of limit,...

Limit the view of sequences on both sides of the axis. Learners explore an alternating sign sequence. Using a graphical display of the first 10 terms of the sequence, pupils determine the formula for the general term. they then use the...

What does it mean if young mathematicians cannot put the squeeze on a sequence? Learners investigate a divergent sequence and find the formula for the nth term. Using the definition of a limit of a sequence, pupils try to find the limit...

Put a squeeze on a sequence. An interactive provides a graphical display of a sequence. Using the graph, learners determine the algebraic expression for the sequence. Pupils use the general definition of a limit of a sequence to find the...

Topple misunderstandings of geometric sequences. Using a context of creating ever-increasing sizes of dominoes, pupils develop a geometric sequence. The scenario provides the size of the first domino and the common ratio between...

How long does it take to pay off a loan? Pupils use a graph to model the sequence associated with paying off a loan. Using the graph, learners determine the initial value and the common difference of the arithmetic sequence. The learners...

Build an explicit formula using tiles. Pupils develop a tile representation of a term within a sequence given figures of previous terms. Using the diagrams, learners develop the explicit formula by recognizing the common difference and...

Practice sequencing numbers 1–100 in a card sequencing activity. The hands-on learning makes a short activity flexible and fun. The opportunities are endless and easy to implement.

Take steps into sequences. An 11-lesson unit builds upon pupils' previous understanding of writing expressions to develop the idea of sequences. The resource explores both arithmetic and geometric sequences using recursive and explicit...

Create rules for numerical sequences. Pupils develop local rules and recursive rules for number sequences. The sequences are linear, quadratic, and cubic in nature. Scholars find that some local rules do not work, no matter where in the...

Young mathematicians order numbers from least to greatest. Number types include whole numbers, decimals, and negative numbers.

Domain can be a tricky topic, especially when you relate it to context, but here is a lesson that provides concrete examples of discrete situations and those that are continuous. It also addresses where the input values should begin and...
