Learning Target A-SSE I can see structure in expressions. 2-7 Solving Equations With Algebra Tiles powerpoint Learning Target A-SSE I can see structure in expressions. Identify and explain the initial value and common difference of an arithmetic sequence. Translate between sequences written in explicit form and recursive form. A-SSE.1 Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. 1.a Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients. A-SSE.3 – Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.
2-7 Solving Equations With Algebra Tiles powerpoint Learning Target F-IFa I can understand the concept of a function and use function notation. Recursive equations require the value of one term and it’s corresponding term number. Sequences can be defined by using either the next term or the previous term. The domain of sequences is the non-negative integers. F.IF.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers.
Learning Target F-BF I can build a function. 2-7 Solving Equations With Algebra Tiles powerpoint Learning Target F-BF I can build a function. Write an explicit equation of an arithmetic or geometric sequence. Write a recursive equation of an arithmetic or geometric sequence. F.BF.2 Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
