Sequences
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. They illustrate a variety of teaching and learning approaches and allow practitioners to reflect and develop their skills.
In this resource, sessions look at:
• Sequences - using...
Sequences
This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.
Sequences includes: sequences with constant differences (linear, arithmetic sequences), generating a sequence from a formula, generating sequences from pictures, finding the...
Sequences
This resource contains six problems which explore arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students are asked to make observations about sequences, create a number of different sequences that all have the same sixth term, solve a question and then explore what happens if the question is altered slightly and find general...
This collection contains resources from the website 1001mathproblems.com by Sian Zelbo. Both geometric and arithmetic sequences are featured in these resources, along with the Fibonacci numbers. Each topic is presented in the form of a puzzle, to which there are several different solutions. The materials are ideal...
This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘sequences’. Resources comprise:
-
Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem
-
Act Two: further relevant...
Sequences
This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of sequences, from finding the next two terms of a simple linear sequence to exploring the limits of sequences.
Sequences pack one contains thirteen...
Sequences
This resource contains two excel programs; ‘Number Sequences: Linear’ and ‘Number Sequences: Non–linear’, each containing a series of interactive spreadsheets designed to explore number sequences requiring students to find a formula.
...Sequences
This resource contains seventeen instant maths ideas requiring students to construct sequences from a variety of situations such as drawing stick animals, from formulae, and drawing patterns leading to linear, quadratic and cubic sequences. Other tasks include finding the number of dots in a rectangle, finding...
Sequences and Series
Sequence Tiles requires students to define a position to term rule for a sequence and is extended to iterative sequences, using the set of cards given. Students have to decide the nature of their sequence: convergent and divergent increasing, decreasing...
Sequences and Series
This resource, from Susan Wall, contains five advanced level activities designed to practise and strengthen understanding of the use of notation when dealing with sequences and series. Each resource starts with teacher notes followed by a student activity.
