Sequences and Series
Sequence Tiles requires students to define a position to term rule for a sequence and is extended to iterative sequences, using the set of cards given. Students have to decide the nature of their sequence: convergent and divergent increasing, decreasing, oscillating or periodic.
In Geoarithmetic sequences students are required to choose two numbers between zero and one and then generate a sequence by following a series of instructions. Students have to analyse the sequence formed, describe the nth term and speculate as to what wouls happen if the initial numbers are altered.
When does Sn = Un ? asks students to consider when does the nth term of a sequence equal the sum of the sequence. Students consider what happens when the number of terms in the sequence is altered and when the nature of the sequence is altered.
