It is important to verify that all of the students made progress toward understanding the concepts presented in this lesson. Students may be surprised to find that there are several ways to obtain a sequence in which all the elements end in 3, for example. Let the students write a breif definition of a sequence on paper and provide an example to ensure that they have understood the lesson. This lesson can be rearranged in several ways. You may choose not to pass out the worksheet, but rather to dictate the problems to the students and have groups working on the same problem and the same time.
Students make make a note of their findings on notebook paper.
You may choose to allow students to design their own sequences and make a statement about what makes it special. Another lesson, Patterns In Pascal's Triangle helps students identify patters in Pascal's Triangle. The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc.
