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...

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...

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....

Explicitly talk to the class about sequences. A segment of a review series for the General Certificate of Secondary Education math assessment provides a review of arithmetic sequences. Pupils watch a video showing how to find terms given...

Explore geometric sequences with this 30 problem worksheet. Upper graders determine if the sequences shown are geometric and find the common ratio. Then, given the explicit formula for a geometric sequence find the first five terms and...

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...

In these math worksheets, students will complete 3 pages of sequencing work. The first page is Simple Sequences (17 problems). The second page is Harder Sequences (18 problems). The third page is Fibonacci Sequence work (9 problems).

Test your students' number line skills with these sequences, which they must finish and then indicate if they are ascending or descending. Numbers range from negative numbers to decimals. This activity would be a great teaching tool for...

Bring algebra to life with scientific applications. Math minded individuals calculate and graph the time it takes a bacterium to double. They discuss geometric sequences and use a chart to graph their findings. There are 38...

Develop a sequence of descriptions. Learners watch an introduction to sequences, their notations, and how to graph them. Pupils use full sentences to describe the sequence and how to get from one term to the next, without needing to...

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

In this terms in a sequence worksheet, students solve and complete 32 various types of problems. First, they simplify each of the equations listed. Then, students find the number of arrangements found using the information given. They...

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

To say it explicitly—put the terms in order. Pupils learn about the two main sequences, arithmetic and geometric and discover the general explicit formulas for both types. Using the formulas, learners then calculate specific terms of the...

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...

In this sequence worksheet, students explain the definition of a convergent sequence and draw models of sequences. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this sequence worksheet, students find the limits of given sequences and prove theorems. This one-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this math learning exercise, students practice making six multiplication sequences. Students write an explanation of four sequences. Students also practice multiplying with exponents by completing twenty problems.

For this sequence worksheet, students examine sequences, write the terms of a sequence, identify the limits of a sequence. This one-page worksheet contains seven problems.

In this math worksheet, 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. Some of the...

Future mathematicians learn about arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as common ratios and differences as they complete a worksheet matching sequences with the algebraic expressions that represent them.

Examine the importance of sequence and series through contextual situations. Here, learners partake in a five-day unit that begins with the basics of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. As it progresses, pupils apply the...

In this algebra worksheet, students analyze patterns and identify it as arithmetic, geometric, or neither.  There are 30 questions with answers.

Practice sequencing numbers 1–100 in a card sequencing activity. The hands-on learning makes a short activity flexible and fun. The opportunities are endless and easy to implement.
