Geometric Sequence Teacher Resources

Serving as an introduction to the idea of geometric sequences, this video defines the concept as "a special sequence of numbers where each successive number Is a fixed multiple of the number before it." Sal works slowly in the beginning,...

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...

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...

Arithmetic and geometric sequences are linear and geometric patterns. Help pupils understand the relationship and see the connection with an activity that asks them to write the rules and classify the patterns correctly. A sorting...

Explore geometric sequences with this 30 problem worksheet. Upper graders determine if the sequences shown are geometric and find the common ratio. Then, given the explicit formula for a geometric sequence find the first five terms and...

Bring algebra to life with scientific applications. Math minded individuals calculate and graph the time it takes a bacterium to double. They discuss geometric sequences and use a chart to graph their findings. There are 38...

Place a lesson on sequences in your sequence of lessons. Scholars first learn the basics of geometric sequences, such as common ratios and then they write recursive and explicit formulas for geometric sequences.

Future mathematicians learn about arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as common ratios and differences as they complete a worksheet matching sequences with the algebraic expressions that represent them.

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

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.

Examine the importance of sequence and series through contextual situations. Here, learners partake in a five-day unit that begins with the basics of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. As it progresses, pupils apply the...

Old mathematicians never die; they just lose some of their functions. Studying sequences gives scholars an opportunity to use a new notation. Learners write functions to model arithmetic and geometric sequences and use them to find new...

In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze patterns and identify it as arithmetic, geometric, or neither.  There are 30 questions with answers.

Explore a geometric sequence model through a simulation. Learners change the starting drop height of a ball and watch how the heights of following bounces change. They consider the ratio of the consecutive bounces as they analyze...

In this arithmetic and geometric sequences worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 34 various types of problems. First, they find the described term in each sequence. Then, students complete the geometric sequences and find the value...

In this geometric sequences instructional activity, students solve a geometric sequence puzzle.  Students fill in the missing terms of various geometric sequences.

For this arithmetic and geometric sequences worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 37 various types of problems. First, they determine the term of each sequence shown. Then, students find the given term number using sigma notation....

Learners who view this video should gain a better understanding of the difference between a geometric sequence and an arithmetic sequence. The video includes an example of each, with step-by-step instructions on how to figure out which...
