My PBL Project

Introduction:

My PBL project is about 10 real life examples of sequences. Sequences are an ordered list, it has input number and an output number which comes out by an equation. I need to find those 10 examples and explain how they can be used in a sequence. In addition to finding 10 examples of sequences I have to give the first 10 input numbers of those sequences. Then I have to find the equations of those sequences. Afterward I have to create a PowerPoint presentation and a video about sequences.

Materials:

  • Glue

  • Scissors

  • Poster Board

  • Computer

  • Camera

Procedure:

  1. Make a sequence on your computer.

  2. Take step-by-step pictures of the process of making a sequence on your computer.

  3. Upload those pictures and put them on your website.

  4. Create a video of you making a sequence.

  5. Give 10 examples of sequences.

  6. For each example give the equation, and the first 10 input numbers.

  7. Create a PowerPoint presentation about your 10 real-life examples of sequences.

  8. Follow the rest of the "Reflection Questions" to find parts of sequences.

  9. Answer your "Reflection Questions" on a poster.

Pictures:

The Input numbers: 10, 13, 14, 19 and the Equation: =B1+2

Another equation for another sequence: =B1*2

One more equation for the last sequence: =INT(B1/B2)

Input number (notice that each equations has "B1" in it)

Result or the output numbers

Scientific Principle:

Sequences are series of numbers which, with an input numbers and , give a prediction to the output number. All sequences whether they are arithmetic, geometric, or Fibonacci they are require an input number, an equation, and an output number.

Equation:

an+1 = an + d > an.
