Describing Number and Geometric Patterns
Objectives:• Use inductive reasoning in continuing patterns• Find the next term in an Arithmetic and Geometric sequence
Inductive reasoning: • make conclusions based on patterns you observe
Conjecture: • conclusion reached by inductive reasoning based on evidence
Geometric Pattern:• arrangement of geometric figures that repeat
Arithmetic Sequence• Formed by adding a fixed number to a previous term
Geometric Sequence• Formed by multiplying by a fixed number to a previous term
• Arrangement of geometric figures that repeat• Use inductive reasoning and make conjecture as to the next figure in a pattern
Geometric Patterns
Use inductive reasoning to find the next two figures in the pattern.
Use inductive reasoning to find the next two figures in the pattern.
Describe the figure that goes in the missing boxes.
Geometric Patterns
Describe the next three figures in the pattern below.
Numerical Sequences and Patterns
Arithmetic Sequence
Add a fixed number to the previous termFind the common difference between the previous & next term

What is the common difference between the first and second term?
Does the same difference hold for the next two terms?
Arithmetic Sequence
17, 13, 9, 5, ___, ___, ___
What are the next 3 terms in the arithmetic sequence?
1 -3 -7
An arithmetic sequence can be modeled using a function rule.
What is the common difference of the terms in the preceding problem?
-4
Let n = the term number Let A(n) = the value of the nth term in the sequence
Find the first, fifth, and tenth term of the sequence: A(n) = 2 + (n - 1)(3)
A(n) = 2 + (n - 1)(3)
First Term
A(1) = 2 + (1 - 1)(3)
= 2 + (0)(3)
= 2
A(n) = 2 + (n - 1)(3)
Fifth Term
A(5) = 2 + (5 - 1)(3)
= 2 + (4)(3)
= 14
A(n) = 2 + (n - 1)(3)
Tenth Term
A(10) = 2 + (10 - 1)(3)
= 2 + (9)(3)
= 29
In 1995, first class postage rates were raised to 32 cents for the first ounce and 23 cents for each additional ounce. Write a function rule to model the situation.
You drop a rubber ball from a height of 100 cm and it bounces back to lower and lower heights. Each curved path has 80% of the height of the previous path. Write a function rule to model the problem.
A(n) = a· r n - 1
A(n) = 100 · .8 n - 1
What height will the ball reach at the top of the 5th path?
