Arithmetic Sequences
General term, graphing sequences, and connecting to linear functions.
Overview Arithmetic Sequences — Grade 10 Unit Overview
This Grade 10 unit develops arithmetic sequences as patterns with a constant additive change from term to term. Learners find general terms, graph sequences as discrete relations, and connect sequence rules to linear functions they already know from earlier algebra work.
Reference Recursive and Explicit Forms of Sequences
For Grade 10 relations and functions, a sequence can be described either by a recursive rule that tells how to get the next term from the previous term, or by an explicit rule that gives the nth term directly. This reference develops both forms, shows how to move between them for arithmetic sequences, and explains when each form is more useful.
