Sequences

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...

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...

A very well done slide-show defines and explains how numeric patterns and sequences work. Academic vocabulary is highlighted as well as solid examples and whole class practice. The last slide contains four number sequences for the class...

Kids work to recognize and extend number sequences. They determine the rule in order to find the missing number in each sequence given. They review the concept, practice finishing sequences with a calculator, and explain each rule. 

Number sequences make for great challenges that stimulate pattern recognition, algebraic reasoning, and number sense. This slide-show includes eleven number sequences for learners to work through, an explanation of what number sequences...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
