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...

Authors are constantly leaving clues that help the reader to understand the sequence of events in a story. Teach young readers how to pick up on these key temporal words and phrases with this slide show. After an introduction to commonly...

Building upon previous knowledge of sequences, collaborative pairs analyze sequences to determine the type and to make predictions of future terms. The exercises build through arithmetic and geometric sequences before introducing...

Provide your class with a comprehensive set of examples that help define sequences. They view a wide variety of sequences that range from animals, to letters and sounds. They work through each sequence to determine what should come next....

Fibonacci is an interesting sequence that forms some unique patterns. Learners explore sequences that do not have the typical arithmetic and geometric patterns. They identify the pattern and find the next consecutive terms....

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...

Who knew that building snowmen could be educational as well as a ton of fun! This two-part worksheet first asks learners to cut out and glue in the correct order a series of four pictures showing a child building a snowman. When...

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...

Twenty-eight problems, two pages, and an answer key all related to number patterns, recursive formula, and arithmetic sequence. Leaners find the next number in the pattern or sequence and determine the arithmetic formula to go with the...

A very well done slide-show defines and explains how numeric patterns and sequences work. Academic vocabulary is highlighted as well as solid examples and whole class practice. The last slide contains four number sequences for the class...

Kids work to recognize and extend number sequences. They determine the rule in order to find the missing number in each sequence given. They review the concept, practice finishing sequences with a calculator, and explain each rule. 

In these math worksheets, students will complete 3 pages of sequencing work. The first page is Simple Sequences (17 problems). The second page is Harder Sequences (18 problems). The third page is Fibonacci Sequence work (9 problems).

Number sequences make for great challenges that stimulate pattern recognition, algebraic reasoning, and number sense. This slide-show includes eleven number sequences for learners to work through, an explanation of what number sequences...

Test your learners' number line skills with these sequences, which they must finish and then indicate if they are ascending or descending. Numbers range from negative numbers to decimals. This activity would be a great teaching tool for...

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...

Follow up a class reading of the children's book Officer Buckle and Gloria with this simple sequence-of-events worksheet. Including pictures of six key moments from the story, young learners must first number them in the correct...

Develop a sequence of descriptions. Learners watch an introduction to sequences, their notations, and how to graph them. Pupils use full sentences to describe the sequence and how to get from one term to the next, without needing to...

In this number patterns and sequences worksheet, learners find 7 formulas to represent a sequence.  Students use a chart with sequences and they must find a formula to represent each sequence.

In this terms in a sequence worksheet, high schoolers solve and complete 32 various types of problems. First, they simplify each of the equations listed. Then, students find the number of arrangements found using the information given....

In this algebra worksheet, students find the next number in the sequence and calculate the formula for the sequence. There are 23 questions.

First, next, then, and, finally are the words in focus of a sequencing lesson plan. Scholars listen to a read aloud of the tale "Lost in the Fog," and take part in a grand conversation about the story's sequence...

Pollywogs, tadpoles, and frogs. Here's a sequencing exercise that combines story telling and science. Kids paste illustrations of the life cycles of frogs in order on a story sheet.

To say it explicitly—put the terms in order. Pupils learn about the two main sequences, arithmetic and geometric and discover the general explicit formulas for both types. Using the formulas, learners then calculate specific terms of the...

Common difference is to arithmetic sequences as what is to linear equations? (Answer: slope) Pupils learn how arithmetic sequences can be considered as linear patterns. They then write linear equations to represent arithmetic...
