An Introduction to Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences

Introduces students to arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students explore further through producing sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and add-on.

Audiences: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12

Primary Subjects: Algebra, Discrete, Geometry, Number and Operations

Related Topics: addition, arithmetic, arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, graph, iteration, linear functions, multiplication, multiplier, negative number, pattern, positive number, pre-calculus, recursion, recursive functions, sequences

Recognizing Patterns

Students learn to identify a variety of patterns using sequences and tessellations.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8
