About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers arithmetic and geometric sequences, a fundamental topic in Algebra I typically taught in 9th grade. The questions assess students' ability to identify patterns, distinguish between arithmetic and geometric sequences, find common differences and ratios, determine specific terms using position numbers, and work with both explicit and recursive formulas. Students need a solid foundation in algebraic thinking, pattern recognition, and formula manipulation to succeed with this material. They must understand that arithmetic sequences have constant differences between consecutive terms while geometric sequences have constant ratios, and they need to apply the appropriate formulas: an = a₁ + d(n-1) for arithmetic sequences and an = a₁ × r^(n-1) for geometric sequences. The quiz requires students to move fluidly between identifying patterns, calculating terms, and writing mathematical expressions that model sequential relationships. Created by Kristi Woodhouse, a Mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grade 9. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for reinforcing sequence concepts through varied practice problems that build from basic pattern identification to more complex formula applications. Teachers can use this assessment for formative evaluation to gauge student understanding before moving to more advanced topics like series and sigma notation. The quiz works well as homework practice, allowing students to work through problems at their own pace, or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before introducing new sequence applications. It also functions effectively as a review tool before unit tests or as stations work where students can self-check their understanding of different sequence types. This assessment aligns with Common Core standards A-SSE.A.1 and F-IF.A.3, which focus on interpreting expressions and recognizing sequences as functions with domains of consecutive integers.
