Ideas for Teachers
Rather than just looking for the end product of the nth term, this activity allows students to check their work in getting to the answer. Great for use with ShowMe boards.
There is also a demonstration of the algebraic methods behind finding each nth term, just press the "Show Algebra" button, and reveal the steps by clicking the boxes.
