Instructional Ideas
- Begin with a problem similar to the third example; allow individuals to determine the pattern and try to write an expression to model the pattern
- Ask each pupil to create a pattern on a notecard, then mix them up and distribute them to the class to solve
Classroom Considerations
- Builds on previous work with sequences in the two previous lessons in the series
- The third lesson in a 20-part series
Pros
- Includes a set of practice problems modeled from the lesson
Cons
- Does not include real-life patterns or connections
- Missing an answer key for the practice problems
