#SEQUENCES MATH QUESTION SERIES#

I have so much material to use in class and inspire me to try something a little different more often. 'Thank you so much for your wonderful site. Thank you for being so creative and imaginative.'Ĭomment recorded on the 17 November 'Starter of the Day' page by Amy Thay, Coventry: 'This resource has made a great deal of difference to the standard of starters for all of our lessons. They felt really special because the key words came from their own personal information.'Ĭomment recorded on the 5 April 'Starter of the Day' page by Mr Stoner, St George's College of Technology: For homework, I asked each student to find a definition for the key words they had been given (once they had fun trying to guess the answer) and they presented their findings to the rest of the class the following day. To engage them I used their name and favorite football team (or pop group) instead of the school name. 'I used this with my bottom set in year 9. I have used it with all of my ks3 and ks4 classes and they are all totally focused when counting the triangles.'Ĭomment recorded on the 19 October 'Starter of the Day' page by E Pollard, Huddersfield: 'I have used your starters for 3 years now and would not have a lesson without one! Fantastic way to engage the pupils at the start of a lesson.'Ĭomment recorded on the 23 September 'Starter of the Day' page by Judy, Chatsmore CHS:

Pupils should be taught to use sequences and series inĬomment recorded on the 16 March 'Starter of the Day' page by Mrs A Milton, Ysgol Ardudwy: Pupils should be taught to understand and work with geometric sequences and series, including the formulae for the n th term and the sum of a finite geometric series the sum to infinity of a convergent geometric series, including the use of |r| < 1 modulus notation more. Pupils should be taught to understand and work with arithmetic sequences and series, including the formulae for n th term and the sum to n terms more. Pupils should be taught to understand and use sigma notation for sums of series more. Pupils should be taught to work with sequences including those given by a formula for the n th term and those generated by a simple relation of the form x n+1 = f(x n) increasing sequences decreasing sequences periodic sequences more. Pupils should be taught to understand and use the binomial expansion of (a + bx) n for positive integer n the notations n! and nC r link to binomial probabilities. Pupils should be taught to recognise and use sequences of triangular, square and cube numbers, simple arithmetic progressions, Fibonacci type sequences, quadratic sequences, and simple geometric progressions (r n where n is an integer, and r is a positive rational number sequences. Pupils should be taught to recognise geometric sequences and appreciate other sequences that arise. Pupils should be taught to recognise arithmetic sequences and find the nth term more. Pupils should be taught to generate terms of a sequence from either a term-to-term or a position-to-term rule more. Pupils should be taught to generate and describe linear number sequences more. Same Series Sum: Find an arithmetic series and a geometric series that have the same sum of the first five terms. Rice on a Chess Board: How many grains of rice are on a chess board if each square has twice the number of grains as the previous square. Grandmother: How far would grandma have travelled after a suitably large number of days given her walking regime? It is easier than you may think!ĭifference Cipher: Find the mathematical word from the cipherĭouble or Half?: At ten percent change per day is doubling achieved faster than halving? Windmill Sequence: Find the value of the missing term of the sequence. To Be Continued: Work out the next term in the given sequences. Can you also find a general rule for predicting the nth term of the sequence? Spider Sequences: Find the next term of the given number sequences. Sign Sequences: Continue the sequences if you can work out the rule. Sequence Dancing: Find the next term of the number sequences. Sea Shells: A question which can be best answered by using algebra. One one: Continue the given number pattern with the help of a little lateral thinking.

Missing Terms: Find the missing terms from these linear sequences. House Numbers: The numbers on five houses next to each other add up to 70. Add 'em: Add up a sequence of consecutive numbers.
