Description
Arithmetic sequences can be a challenging topic for students, but this guided notes and worksheet set makes them concrete and achievable for everyone. This editable, ready-to-go lesson will help your students master arithmetic sequences in function notation and a-sub notation, understand the difference between explicit and recursive formulas, and use formulas to find terms in a sequence.
The scaffolded guided notes break down the topic of arithmetic sequences and their explicit and recursive formulas into manageable chunks by providing clear explanations and step-by-step examples. The accompanying worksheet gives students ample opportunities to gain confidence and apply their new skills through independent practice with a variety of problems. Students especially enjoy this editable, low-prep lesson when paired with individual whiteboards for quick, formative assessment.
This lesson covers the following topics:
- Comparing arithmetic sequences to linear functions written in slope-intercept form
- Finding the common difference and using it to find consecutive terms
- Writing explicit and recursive formulas (in function notation and a-sub notation) and using them to find specific terms in arithmetic sequences
- Writing and applying explicit formulas from real world problems
What does Arithmetic Sequences and Formulas Guided Notes and Worksheet include?
- 3 pages of guided notes
- 2 pages of independent practice
- Fully worked answer keys
The guided notes and worksheet are available in PDF and EDITABLE PPT forms.
