    Linear sequences

    Lesson presentations and activities

    • Here are 6 lessons in order with differentiated activities on linear sequences. This sequence of lessons takes learners on the journey of discovering the nth term of sequences. Let me know what you think

      • 1) sequences - leap frog.pptx
      • 2) finding linear rule.pptx
      • 3) finding the nth term.pptx
      • 4) generating sequence from the nth term.pptx

      Very useful PowerPoints - would like to see more individual steps to show working

    • Sort into three groups - 14 statements. Does what it says on the tin really. It should encourage some discussion in class at the very least.

      Thank you for publishing your resource. It has been selected to be featured in a new secondary maths collection.

    • This is a rich Venn Diagram activity on linear sequences, including nth term.

      To access all the Venn Diagram activities in this collection, as well as teaching notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/venn.htm

      Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much:

      1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running
      2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation
      3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all maths topics for all ages and abilities
      4) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
      5) Students can create their own as an extension task

      I hope you and your students enjoy them.

      Another rich task from Mr Barton Maths, this time its a Venn diagram task. Students have to create sets of numbers themselves that fit into each section of a Venn diagram. Students need to be able to find a common difference of a sequence, find a given term and know how to find an nth term and there is a good mixture of easy double Venn diagrams, as well as some triple Venn diagrams for more challenge.

    • I hate wordsearches where all the words are given, especially in Maths. What are they learning? What I do like to do is create puzzles, like this one, where a mathematical skill is required to generate the values that need to be found in the puzzle. One sequence seems to repeat, make sure you find both of them otherwise the code doesn't quite work out right. This takes almost a full lesson.

      Great work thanks. Is it possible to have the answer sheet as ffnmqm is the answer we got. Thanks

      Just what I was looking for - thank you

    • The cards are placed in a large space, eg. classroom and corridor. Students are given a starting number which they write down and then locate. Answering the question on the card they write it down and then find the next number. The first group to return to their starting number is the winner.
      The last card gives the correct sequence of numbers. (But the students will have all started at a different number in the looping sequence)

    • This was an idea I had in on the way to work one morning - Clive makes mistakes on his homework and you need to correct them, explaining the mistake he's made in each case. I intend to use this as a plenary or starter to check learning etc. They should create discussion too. There are 5 different mistakes to correct.
