Do your classes truly understand the distributive property? Use a demonstrative lesson to represent the distributive property in various ways. Learners solidify understanding by creating a geometric pattern for distributive...

Learners find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet. Using this data, they create scatter plots of the sequences to determine how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio. They will consider whether series...

Investigate arithmetic and geometric sequences by using a graphing calculator to determine if a sequence is linear or exponential.

In this algebra worksheet, students perform operations using arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. They find the sum, missing and repeated terms. There are 22 problems

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. In this mathematics lesson, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

In this practice with sequences worksheet, students find the arithmetic sequence and geometric sequence of given problems.  They determine the percent of change and solve exponent problems.  This one-page worksheet contains 11...

Gain a little interest in functions with a real-life task. Young scholars analyze home loan data with a geometric sequence and series. They use the models to make predictions about the total loan payments at certain intervals in a...

Learners explore, discover, compare, and contrast arithmetic and geometric sequences in this collaborative, hands-on activity. They build and analyze growing patterns to distinguish which kind of sequence is represented by a set of data...

Learn to visualize mathematical patterns as a folded pattern. Beginning with a visual display, the task encourages pupils to view sequences as a folded table. The pattern of the table then becomes a formula in a spreadsheet that...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Get your classes moving and practicing sequences at the same time! Learners move about the room solving problems and finding their solutions. Problems include both recursive and explicit formulas and both geometric and arithmetic sequences.

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

Your algebra learners emphasize the"geometric" in geometric series as they use a common ratio between algebraic terms and find that it corresponds to a repeated similarity transformation. 

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

In this sequences worksheet, students solve for the sum of ten sequences.  Students solve for a specified term of the geometric or arithmetic sequence in fourteen other problems.

In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus worksheet, learners solve advanced problems based on geometric and arithmetic sequences, including the use of sigma notation. The five page worksheet contains forty-five problems.  Answers are...

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Create rules for numerical sequences. Pupils develop local rules and recursive rules for number sequences. The sequences are linear, quadratic, and cubic in nature. Scholars find that some local rules do not work, no matter where in...

Build a connection between algebraic sequences and spreadsheets. Learners examine a specific folding pattern and convert the pattern into a spreadsheet. The goal of the spreadsheet is to produce a sequence of a specific pattern modeled...

Eleventh graders investigate arithmetic sequences.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders create an arithmetic sequence and explore the effect of each variable in the formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. ...

In this Algebra II/Trigonometry activity, 11th graders evaluate arithmetic and geometric series.  The two page activity contains ten multiple-choice problems.  Answers provided. 

In this algebra worksheet, students solve sequences using the geometric mean for sequences and series. They have to find the next number in the pattern using the formula for geometric means. There are 23 problems to be solved.

In this geometric series instructional activity, students examine a given geometric series to determine if the series converges or divergeas.  They evaluate and determine the common ratio of a geometric series.  This...

In this geometric series worksheet, students find the nth term in a sequence.  They evaluate a given geometric sequence and determine the number of terms in a geometric series.  This two-page worksheet contains 26...
