Curated OER
Geometric Sequences and Series
Learn to calculate the nth term of a sequence defined by an algebraic expression. They examine geometric sequences and series, relate geometric sequences to their explicit forms, find the partial sums of a sequence in a table, and...
Curated OER
Geometric Sequences and Series
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...
Curated OER
Sequence Graphs
Investigate arithmetic and geometric sequences by using a graphing calculator to determine if a sequence is linear or exponential.
Curated OER
Limit of a Sequence
Young scholars solve problems using limits in this calculus lesson. They calculate the solution to a problem by substituting in positive integers and relate the sequence output as it relates to the limit of a function.

Mammal Story Problems (Math)
Fifth graders, after discussing the teacher's handout examples, practice writing five story problems about mammals using relevant/irrelevant information. As a class, they solve the story problems while identifying the key concepts that...
Curated OER
Multiples 3
For this sequencing patterns of numbers worksheet, students identify the rules of patterns, fill in sequencing blanks, and continue number sequences. Students answer twelve problems.
Curated OER
Number Patterns
Sixth graders study number patterns. They observe dominoes to determine the next domino in the sequence. After studying the dominoes, they write an expression to represent the pattern.

Numbers to 10 Sheet 2
In this counting worksheet, students work on number recognition. They complete the worksheet by filling in the missing numbers in each pattern.
Curated OER
Bears Wear Buttons
Students practice counting sets of objects and numerals. In this numerical identification instructional activity, students listen to the story, Bears Wears Buttons, and participate in a flash card activity where students must...
Curated OER
Toothpick Triangles
Explore patterns, variables, and mathematical relationships when you examine patterns with toothpicks and determine the next sequence of figures. Your class writes and justifies a formula based on the sequence. An answer key is included.
Curated OER
Quiz: Find a Pattern
Learners respond to 11 questions that require them to examine numbers and identify patterns. They also solve four math word problems regarding patterns.
