Old mathematicians never die; they just lose some of their functions. Studying sequences gives scholars an opportunity to use a new notation. Learners write functions to model arithmetic and geometric sequences and use them to find new...

In this math instructional activity, students learn that a sequence is a set of numbers which follows a mathematical rule. Students look at math sequences and fill in the missing numbers and also explain in words what the pattern is....

Common difference is to arithmetic sequences as what is to linear equations? (Answer: slope) Pupils learn how arithmetic sequences can be considered as linear patterns. They then write linear equations to represent arithmetic...

Students use Excel Database to explore sequences and series. They examine how to calculate term positions and Sigma Notations. Students use Excel to calculate the values and they print the pages for grading.

Finding patterns is an essential skill for mathematicians of all ages. Follow along with Zoe as she walks step-by-step through the process of identifying and completing number patterns. Work through the Try It! problems as a whole class...

Provide Algebra I learners with a logical approach to making connections between the types of sequences and formulas with a lesson that uses what class members know about explicit formulas to develop an understanding of...

Any vintage video game users in the room? Young scholars use a video presentation to analyze patterns in pixel arrangements. By writing an arithmetic sequence, they make predictions about the size of the image.

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...

Twenty-eight problems, two pages, and an answer key all related to number patterns, recursive formula, and arithmetic sequence. Leaners find the next number in the pattern or sequence and determine the arithmetic formula to go with the...

Learning that size and orientation don't affect the classification of shapes is a big step for young mathematicians. Support children with developing this key understanding by looking at the array of shapes included in this resource. For...

Finishing patterns can be fun and engaging. Here are nine different patterns that have learners determine the rule or determine which image or shape will come next in the sequence. A very well-done presentation.

Number sequences and pattern recognition are vital skills for understanding more complex mathematical concepts. Practice determining the rule with your class. Each slide shows a sequence of numbers, they need to work together to find the...

Arithmetic and geometric sequences are linear and geometric patterns. Help pupils understand the relationship and see the connection with an activity that asks them to write the rules and classify the patterns correctly. A sorting...

The generation of a number, or shape pattern, is the focus of this math lesson. Pupils are presented with a variety of patterns shapes, and number patterns, then use worksheets embedded in the plan to gain further practice. The...

In this patterns worksheet, students read the four steps to find the next three terms in a math sequence. Students find the pattern and write the next three terms in 13 problems.

Fibonacci is an interesting sequence that forms some unique patterns. Learners explore sequences that do not have the typical arithmetic and geometric patterns. They identify the pattern and find the next consecutive terms....

Building upon previous knowledge of sequences, collaborative pairs analyze sequences to determine the type and to make predictions of future terms. The exercises build through arithmetic and geometric sequences before introducing...

Explore number attributes and skip counting through patterns! Scholars find the pattern in each of these sequences and continue it by writing in the remaining values. They count consistently by various intervals, sometimes forwards and...

In this number patterns and sequences instructional activity, high schoolers find 7 formulas to represent a sequence.  Students use a chart with sequences and they must find a formula to represent each sequence.

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

In this algebra worksheet, students find the next number in the sequence and calculate the formula for the sequence. There are 23 questions.

Math is all about finding patterns. In this ask, scholars first investigate a sequence formed by squaring the sum of the digits in the previous term. They go on to investigate a second sequence and write an algebraic expression for this...

Sequences are all about recognizing patterns. A module of 11 lessons builds pupils' understanding of sequences through pattern analysis. The practice connects the analysis to linear and exponential equations. This is the first module in...

This series of slides gives learners an opportunity to count on by 10's in number sequences then discuss how to apply counting on to addition and subtraction problems. Learners count on and back by 1's, 10's, and 100's.
