Integer Sequences—Should You Believe in Patterns?
Help your class discover possible patterns in a sequence of numbers and then write an equation with a lesson plan that covers sequence notation and function notation. Graphs are used to represent the number patterns.

Arithmetic Series
Fall for a series. Learners determine how to find out how far a skydiver falls in the first 20 seconds. The Algebra II instructional activity introduces the idea of adding up the terms of an arithmetic sequence. Pupils learn how to use...
Curated OER
Sum of Infinite Geometric Series
Your mathematicians solve problems using geometric series in this pre-calculus lesson. They divide a unit square into very small pieces and identify the reasoning behind the sum of a series being less than one.
Curated OER
Maxima and Minima Problems
Students calculate the maxima and minima of quadratic equations. In this calculus lesson, students apply the derivatives by finding the maxima and minima using real life application. They solve optimization using the derivative.
Curated OER
Bird Brained?
Students identify general abilities that indicate animal cognitive intelligence. In this biology lesson, students create an intelligence testing challenge for ravens. They compare its ability to that of a crow.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Exploring Infinite Series
For this activity, students learn to identify geometric series. They determine if a sequence converges and also learn to calculate the sum of numbers in a geometric series.
