Recurrence Formulae

 

Students learn how to generate a recurrence sequence.

Later, as learning progresses, they work out the formula from the sequence.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to generate the first six terms of a recurrence sequence in the form Un+1
  • Most students should be able to generate the first six terms of a recurrence sequence using the previous term.
  • Some students should be able to generate the first six terms of a recurrence sequence in the form Un+2= aUn+1Un
