Generate terms of a sequence using term-to-term and position-to-term definitions of the sequence, on paper and using ICT.
- Examples of what pupils should
know and be able to do - Probing questions
- What if pupils find
this a barrier?
Examples of what pupils should know and be able to do
Generate sequences from practical contexts.
- Find the first few terms of the sequence; describe how it continues using a term-to-term rule.
- Use algebraic expressions to describe the nth term, justifying them by referring to the context.
- When appropriate, compare different ways of arriving at the generalisation.
