Adventures With The Fish Pond: Population Modeling
Build up from the previous activity where your learners charted the population growth and decay of a fish pond with M&Ms®. Have them look at the data from that activity and create a Now-Next, or recursive equations, to predict the...

Geometric Sequences
Explore geometric sequences with this 30 problem worksheet. Upper graders determine if the sequences shown are geometric and find the common ratio. Then, given the explicit formula for a geometric sequence find the first five terms and...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Sequences
Twenty-eight problems, two pages, and an answer key all related to number patterns, recursive formula, and arithmetic sequence. Leaners find the next number in the pattern or sequence and determine the arithmetic formula to go with the...
