Patterns and Sequences

This video looks again at finding the algebraic pattern in sequences. In the example, we are looking at a figure where a number of toothpicks (or lines) are added each time, and you need to find how many toothpicks will be in the 50th...

Faced with a series of numbers we need to find the next few values of the sequence. This short video shows an example of finding the next values in a sequence where we need to find the pattern of adding a specific number each time to...

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...

What comes next? Scholars view a video that explains how to determine the next figure in a pattern. They connect the figures to arithmetic sequences and write explicit formulas for the patterns.

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...

2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? Do the numbers in this sequence make it an arithmetic sequence? Watch this video and find out.
