The resource at the bottom is a formula chart for geometric and arithmetic sequences and series. The third resource is an arithmetic and geometric sequence and series game. The second resource would be a great follow up after teaching arithmetic sequences. I’m working on the geometric sequence activity now and hope to finish in a week or so. If the rule is to add or subtract a number each time, it is called an arithmetic sequence. I’ve attached a couple more of my resources. Number sequences are sets of numbers that follow a pattern or a rule. I wanted to create something that students could learn from and see how these patterns are involved in real-life situations. When I was creating this resource, it really stretched my thinking. Some of the examples I used above are in my Arithmetic Sequence Activity seen below. Students need to know that their math is real and useful! I hope this encourages you to use some of these examples or make up some of your own. ![]() It’s really fun to create these problems. ©x OKduet7ak pSXoAfStVw1aXreev pLjLGCM.3 s KAhlTl7 0rKiDgmhWtIs n RrlemseeyrfvheEdp.B o XM7agdZeb Ow2iQt2hJ CIQnpfLi0nEivtpeV sA2l7gxeZbMrnaJ b2C. ![]() I hope I’ve given you plenty to think about. When you are finished reading this post, please consider filling out this feedback form called: Understanding Our Visitors. I’m happy for you to use these situations with your classes. Yes, but I want visuals! I also did not want the situation to be a direct variation or always positive numbers and always increasing or positive slopes.īelow are some of the situations I’ve come up with along with a picture. My recent thoughts have been about arithmetic sequences. ![]() I’ve also tried to catch the situation in action, but it’s not always possible especially since sometimes I think of an idea while driving or when I’m falling asleep at night. I’ve made it a goal of mine to find real-life situations. When I was in college and the earlier part of my teaching career, I was all about the math… not how I might could use it in real life. We may see the sequence in the leaf or branch arrangement, the number of petals of a flower, or the pattern of the chambers in a nautilus shell. One of my goals as a math teacher is to present real-life math every chance I get.
