Quadratic Sequences - Complete Lesson
The lesson looks at the differences between a linear and quadratic sequences graphically and focusing on finite differences, thus leading to the nth term. The lesson identifies two methods for finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence with multiple questions in different contexts. Questions also have students transferring skills from other topics such as area, solving equations, simultaneous equations, etc.
This lesson can also be used with AQA Further Maths students as the PowerPoint ens with limiting value of a sequence.
