(U1) Lesson 3 - Growing, Growing Dots - JAMES TAYLOR | Library

Today's Learning Goal:
Use diagrams, tables, graphs, and equations to introduce geometric sequences as functions with a constant growth factor or ratio between terms.
Today's Materials:

Model a sequence of figures using tables, graphs, and equations.
How can I label the diagram to show how I see the pattern?
How can I use mathematical representations to show how I see the pattern changing?

Assuming the sequence continues in the same way, how many dots are there at 5 minutes?

(Note Sheet) Now watch me while I model for you how to....  
Find the pattern on the diagram
Table (numerical)
Graph (Graphical)
Recursive Equation 
Explict Equation 

Now lets try one together...

Model the pattern if the diagram were relabeled this way:

Independently, give these a try...
