Shodor Interactivate: Lesson: Introduction to Arithmetic and Geometric Sequence

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...

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...

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...

Place a instructional activity 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.

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...

This video introduces geometric sequences 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 but picks up the pace as he solves word problems...

Finding patterns—seems easy enough. High schoolers learn the definition of a sequence in a concept video. Four problem videos then cover finding a particular term of a sequence given an explicit formula and identifying arithmetic...

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...

"The goal of this lesson is to introduce the concepts of mean, median and mode and to develop understanding and familiarity with these ideas." This lesson is provided by Shodor Education Foundation.

This lesson focuses on arithmetic and geometric sequences using several examples and practice exercises.
