Kicking Off Sequences Inwards Algebra 1

My Algebra 1 students own got simply started their unit of measurement on sequences. This is my showtime fourth dimension instruction sequences inward Algebra 1 because it used to travel inward the one-time Algebra 2 standards. For the past times 4 years, I own got taught sequences in addition to serial inward Algebra 2, but I experience similar I ask to own got a dissimilar approach amongst my Algebra 1 students since we're alone doing sequences.

We kicked off the department amongst a gear upward of definitions in addition to examples.

I took this equally an chance to innovate my students to the Fibonacci sequence for the showtime time. We talked virtually the Fibonacci sequence on Friday. On Saturday, I was walking through the Science Museum of Oklahoma, in addition to I saw the Fibonacci sequence inward a display.

I took a moving-picture exhibit to exhibit my students because I'm non certain that they believed me when I told them how famous the sequence is.

Next, I gave my students 21 sequences. Students had to uncovering the side past times side term inward each sequence. Then, they had to assort the sequence equally arithmetic, geometric, or neither.

I was looking through the resources available from MathsPad, in addition to I flora this puzzle inward their sequences section (subscription required for this specific resource). This puzzle has students uncovering the side past times side ii price inward a sequence in addition to assort the sequence equally arithmetic, geometric, or Fibonacci. It was fun to own got the Fibonacci Sequences inward this puzzle since the exercise canvas I made didn't own got whatsoever Fibonacci sequences.
