Sequencer

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Sequencer interactive also includes:
  • Exploration Questions
  • Teacher Reference
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users have an option to connect the data points.

Instructional Ideas

  • Have individuals predict the equation of the plot their data will generate
  • Determine the inputs that will create either a linear or an exponential function

Classroom Considerations

  • Individuals should understand the concept of a sequence and recursion
  • This resource is only available on an unencrypted HTTP website.It should be fine for general use, but don’t use it to share any personally identifiable information

Pros

  • Provides an example of the arithmetic the sequencer calculates to find the next step in the sequence
  • Contains links to related resources

Cons

  • None
