standard_description: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Problem 1
The formula for an explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is given by
$${a_n=a_1+d(n-1)}$$
, where
$$d$$
is the common difference and
$$n$$
is the term number.

Problem 2
An arithmetic sequence is shown below.
$${29,\space 22,\space15,\space8,\space1,\space…}$$
Write a recursive formula to represent the sequence.
Write an explicit formula to represent the sequence.
Find the 10th term in the sequence.
Find the 100th term in the sequence.
Problem 3
An arithmetic sequence is described by either a recursive or explicit rule below. If given a recursive rule, provide the explicit rule. If given the explicit rule, give the recursive rule.
a.
$${f(n)=6(n-1)+1}$$
, for
$${n\geq1}$$
b.
$${a_{n+1}=a_n-{3\over2}}$$
,
$${a_1=10}$$
