Lesson Plan: The General Term of a Sequence Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to use the general term or a recursive formula of a sequence to work out terms in the sequence.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- find certain terms of a sequence given the general term or a recursive formula,
- write out a sequence given the general term or a recursive formula,
- verify the general term of a sequence.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- sequence notation.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- sigma notation,
- sums of sequences.
