Geometric Sequences Holiday Pixel Art - google sheets
- Google Sheetsβ’
Description
This product gives students a fun way to practice solving geometric sequences, which are sequences of numbers formed by repeatedly multiplying terms in the sequence by the same number.
I created it in December for my Algebra students to complete as a choice assignment, thus the Holiday Art. As students solve the 21 problems, pixels will appear, eventually forming a holiday scene.
The activity can be assigned with google classroom, giving each student their own copy, or it can be assigned to small groups, where each student in the group is an editor, to encourage collaboration. The activity is self-checking. If there are any blank spots in the picture, the students will know they have made one or more mistakes, prompting them to go back and look at the problems and their answers.
Although created to use with my grade 9 Algebra 1 class, it can also be used in conjunction with Exponential Functions, or grade 7 Math as a fun challenge. It aligns with MA Math Standard 7.EE.4c. The Product Preview includes the key to this activity.
Before assigning to students, the answer key should be deleted from the file.
