Instructional Ideas

• Have individuals predict the equation of the plot their data will generate
• Determine the inputs that will create either a linear or an exponential function

Classroom Considerations

• Individuals should understand the concept of a sequence and recursion

• This resource is only available on an unencrypted HTTP website.It should be fine for general use, but don’t use it to share any personally identifiable information

Pros

• Provides an example of the arithmetic the sequencer calculates to find the next step in the sequence
• Contains links to related resources
