Geometric Sequence Teacher Resources

This MathWorld site, an online training tool, provides a definition and an example of a geometric sequence and how it operates. Other math-related topics available.

Easy to follow tutorial gives the definition of a geometric sequence and goes through four examples, determining if each qualifies as a geometric sequence or not. [7:11]

This algebra lesson explains geometric sequences.

Students display understanding of advanced mathematical concepts. The online quiz assesses the scholars on geometric sequences and series.

Solve problems such as: The first four terms in a geometric sequence are 1/3, 1, 3, and 9. Find an explicit formula for the sequence.

Given the formula of a geometric sequence, either in explicit form or in recursive form, find a specific term in the sequence.

Given the first few terms in a geometric sequence, find the next term in the sequence.

Video introduces geometric sequences explaining what they are and giving examples.

An introduction to Geometric Sequences is given in this video.

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

This video tutorial describes two real-world scenarios using geometric sequences. [3:31]

This lesson plan offers an introduction to sequences. Through the use of computers, students are able to see what happens to the sequences when multipliers and add on values are changed.

Gain an understanding of the geometric sequences of numbers by viewing an example and a video lesson.

Students will be able to make use of structure on their way to deriving a formula for the sum of a geometric series. They will also gain more experience in finding the nth term of a sequence/series. Includes short video. [1:15]

A learning module through which students learn about exponentials including exponential functions, growth and decay, and geometric sequences.

Explains the difference between a sequence and a series. Explaining that a sequence is a list of numbers and a series is a sum of those numbers.

Explains the difference between a sequence and a series. Explaining that a sequence is a list of numbers and a series is a sum of those numbers.

This video demonstrates how to identify a pattern in a geometric sequence in order to extend the sequence to a given point. [4:54]

The geometric mean can help you find a missing term in a geometric sequence. View this tutorial to understand geometric mean. [4:26]

This site, set up as a question format to ask Dr. Math, concerns itself with the fundamentals and basics of geometric progression.

This lesson walks you through how to find any term in a geometric sequence when given a common ratio and an individual term. It is 10 of 10 in the series titled "Finding the Nth Term Geometric." Includes short quiz. [3:01]

The tutorial discusses sequences and series. Students learn about arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, partial sums, and infinite geometric series. The resource consists of class notes and examples with solutions.
