Patterns and Sequences

Assess the ability of young mathematicians to identify patterns with this short multiple choice quiz. This series of five questions asks learners to identify, complete, and extend both number and shape patterns.

Learners explore, discover, compare, and contrast arithmetic and geometric sequences in this collaborative, hands-on activity. They build and analyze growing patterns to distinguish which kind of sequence is represented by a set of data...

In this patterning learning exercise, students identify and complete 2 different problems that include determining the number of toothpicks needed to form a given figure. First, they explain the rule that they use to determine the total...

The example problem is this video has a sequence of numbers that decrease by a fixed amount with each iteration, and one needs to find the 100th number in the sequence. Sal shows the listener how to find the pattern between the number...

Learners graph growing patterns using ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. They read The Fly on the Ceiling, a Math Myth.

Learners who view this video should gain a better understanding of the difference between a geometric sequence and an arithmetic sequence. The video includes an example of each, with step-by-step instructions on how to figure out which...

Common difference? Sounds like an oxymoron. It's a math term used to describe a pattern that may occur between a series of numbers. Watch this video and the instructor will explain what the term means as it is applied to an arithmetic...

Briefly show your class or individual learners how to find the common difference in an arithmetic sequence. A quick and simple video, this resource should guide pupils toward understanding the concept of common difference. Appropriate...
