Instructional Ideas
- As a review of sequences, have the class create multiple arithmetic and geometric sequences
- Provide tables of arithmetic and geometric sequences and have groups sort them
Classroom Considerations
- The lesson assumes the pupils have an understanding of sequences
- Some members of the class would benefit from seeing the table for sequences to determine a specific term
- The fifth in a 10-module series designed as the last unit in an Algebra I course
Pros
- Optional sequence review built in to start the lesson
- Examples provide multiple ways of answering the question
Cons
- None
