Arithmetic Sequence Teacher Resources

What is the difference between an arithematic sequence and a geometric sequence? In an arithematic sequence the constant ratio is added, and in a geometric sequence the constant ratio is multiplied. Watch this video and learn how to use...

Connect geometric sequences to exponential functions. The 26th installment of a 35-part module has scholars model situations using geometric sequences. Writing recursive and explicit formulas allow scholars to solve problems in context.

Learners can review how to write a rule for the geometric sequence 2, 4, 8, 16. The tutor explains through direct instruction how they can use the rule to find the 6th, 9th, and 15th terms. This clip is best suited for individuals who...

A very brief description of sequence: a set of numbers in a particular order.

Any number in a sequence is a term in and of itself. It seems so simple and straightforward.

Learners recognize and demonstrate the patterning of numbers and objects in our environment. They create a pattern using geometric shapes and find a missing number in a sequence.

In this algebra activity, students identify difference and common ratio in sequences. They use arithmetic and geometric ratios to solve patterns. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

In this algebra instructional activity, students solve a pattern or sequence using geometric and arithmetic formulas. There are 21 questions on 5 different sections.

In this algebra worksheet, students analyze the pattern and come up with the geometric means formula in the sequence. The complete the sequence with before and after numbers in the sequence to make it complete. There are 28 questions...

Students follow detailed directions to use the GeoGebra program. In this mathematics instructional activity, students find the nth term of a sequence, and use line art to approximate a Bezier's curve. Students locate points and segments...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve sequences using the geometric mean for sequences and series. They have to find the next number in the pattern using the formula for geometric means. There are 23 problems to be solved.

High schoolers solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

Students write equations based on a pattern. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the arithmetic and geometric mean of a sequence. They rewrite word problems as a linear equation and solve real life scenario based on the given data.

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

In this sequencing worksheet, learners solve problems with sequences and series. They derive formulas to solve word problems and receive specific points for doing so. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

In this pyramids worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 4 different types of problems. First, they count the number of blocks shown in the pyramid. Then, students count the blocks along the lines of symmetry only. They also calculate...

Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.

This is a lesson from Richland Community College on arithmetic sequences. This site provides theories and examples for working with different problems of arithmetic sequences such as calculating the Sum and Difference of an arithmetic...

Twenty-two problems present a variety of practice working with arithmetic sequences and series. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View...

Given the first few terms in an arithmetic sequence, find the next term in the sequence. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Get independent practice working with arithmetic sequences. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

Solve problems such as: The first four terms in an arithmetic sequence are 12, 5, -2, and -9. Find an explicit formula for the sequence. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

This video lesson demonstrates how to turn an arithmetic sequence into a function. Students can check their understanding with an assessment. [8:56]

An arithmetic sequence (arithmetic progression) is a number sequence with a common difference between successive terms. By using the arithmetic sequence formula, we can easily find the value of a term and the common difference in the...
