Description

These task cards help students understand arithmetic sequences by finding common differences, creating equations, and finding terms within the sequence. I provide a variety of questions and answers to allow for deeper understanding of arithmetic sequences. For example, here are some problems you will see on the task cards:

“Identify the common difference.” or “Write the equation that represents the sequence.” or “Find the 8th term.”

Also included are tables that represent the sequence. For these, students will find the common difference and term 0 to create the equation.

So whether students are learning about Arithmetic Sequences, or students need a review, this product will help students build confidence in their mathematical abilities.

These Arithmetic Sequences Task Cards are a print and digital resource.

The 8 task cards and “Helpful Hints” page can be printed. (See below for my best practice!) The Google Forms starts off with multiple choice questions and is followed by short answer questions. In fact, it is also self-grading! This means it provides immediate feedback for students and less work for you!

Why implement task cards over a worksheet?

Currently, I use task cards in my class almost every day! My favorite part about them is this: Once you have them, they are prepped and ready to go at a moment’s notice. I laminate them and keep them in Michael’s photo boxes. If we finish class with 5 minutes to spare, pull out a task card! Have students work on it individually or in pairs. They are versatile and ready for any occasion.

Want to learn how else to use task cards in your class? Check out my post “Five Ways to use Task Cards” here! It includes access to a FREE Task Card Recording sheet.

Included in this resource:

• Aligning Common Core Standards
• Helpful Hints sheet for students
• 8 Task Cards
• 2 Corresponding Google Forms
