Generating a Sequence

 

Students learn to generate sequences using the nth-term formula.

As learning progresses the sequences involve brackets and powers.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to generate a linear sequence from the nth-term formula
  • Most students should be able to generate a quadratic sequence from the nth-term formula.
  • Some students should be able to generate any sequence when given the nth-term formula.
