Generating Polynomials from Patterns
Patterns and polynomials go hand in hand. Budding mathematicians analyze sequences of dot diagrams to discover the patterns in the number of white dots and black dots. They use the identified patterns to write and simplify a polynomial...

Seeing Dots
Your algebra learners interpret algebraic expressions, in order to compare their structures, using a geometric context. They also discern how the two expressions are equivalent and represent a pattern geometrically and algebraically.
Curated OER
Patterns Everywhere!
Learners recognize and demonstrate the patterning of numbers and objects in our environment. They create a pattern using geometric shapes and find a missing number in a sequence.

Finding Sums and Terms for Geometric and Algebraic Sequences
In this sequences instructional activity, students solve for the sum of ten sequences. Students solve for a specified term of the geometric or arithmetic sequence in fourteen other problems.
Curated OER
Sequences
Students solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

Exploration Sequence of Bounces
New skills are developed as learners 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...
Curated OER
Hop To It!
Students determine patterns. In this mathematics lesson, students act out a skit, play a sequence game, and complete patterns. Students use problems solving skills.

Module 4: Linear and Exponential Functions
Sequences and series are traditionally thought of as topics for the pre-calculus or calculus class, when learners are figuring out how to develop limits. But this unit uses patterns and slopes of linear functions in unique ways...
