Fifth graders define the meaning of similar and congruent using concrete objects. They make similar and congruent figures using geoboards. They draw their figures on dot paper, and color their designs.

Students use wax paper to look at different properties of circles such as chords, tangent lines, inscribed angles, and inscribed angles in a semi-circle, as well as finding the center of the circle, and use GSP to investigate cyclic...

Investigate light intensity, illuminance, and power consumption of different light source.Compare the efficiency of light bulbs then create a persuasive advertisement about it.

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

Richland Community College provides a lesson on geometric sequences. This site has explanations and examples of their properties.

This lesson plan offers an introduction to sequences. Through the use of computers, students are able to see what happens to the sequences when multipliers and add on values are changed.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students learn how geometric sequences are related to exponential functions by exploring guided notes, watching a video and attempting practice problems.

The lesson discusses arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. The resource consists of class notes, calculator tips, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The teacher resource demonstrates the origins of the formulas.

Gain an understanding of geometric sequences and series by viewing examples and a video lesson. [1:46]

This algebra lesson explains geometric sequences.

Gain an understanding of the geometric sequences of numbers by viewing an example and a video lesson.

Students will be able to make use of structure on their way to deriving a formula for the sum of a geometric series. They will also gain more experience in finding the nth term of a sequence/series. Includes short video. [1:15]

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduced students to the concept of geometric growth and geometric series/sequences. Students explore some real-life examples of geometric growth, such as chain letters, bank...
