Unit of Instruction for Precalculus (Number Patterns)

     This is chapter one of my precalculus class that I am teaching.  All of the materials for the unit will be displayed in this post at various points.  First, here is a link for my unit outline.


     Some useful resources I have found for this unit and any other mathematics units are as follows:
  1. National Library of Virtual Manipulatives 
  2. Illuminations - NCTM  
  3. Good visuals that you can subscribe to or use for 5 min. 


   A few lessons from the unit are given below: 


  1. Arithmetic Sequences
  2. Lines

   Here is a link to a student's work that was of lower quality.  They didn't show any work or to complete problems. See Here.


   Here is a link to a student's work that was of higher quality.  Notice the attention to detail and completeness.  See Here.
