Do Now

To begin solving the sequence, I drew four lines to make sure that I had ten terms in the sequence.

Next, I examined the relationship between the first three numbers (1 1 2). The first and second numbers added up to the next number in the series.

Then, I tested the pattern to see if it was true for the rest of the numbers.

Finally, I continued the pattern by adding the two previous numbers to decide on the following number. This pattern was repeated until the tenth term was determined. The correct response is 55.

Solution

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, __ , __, __, __

1 + 1 =2 then 1+2 =3.

2+3=5 3+5=8

5+8=13 8+13=21 13+21=34

21+34= 55

Welcome to our Philly Math Word Wall- Its an exciting place where your mathematics terms come alive.

Its time to Let your 21st Century Self CreateCollaborate and Connect with the world of math through words, definitions, visuals and sounds.

Are YOU ready to get started. Now lets have some FUN!

Todays Goal is to begin creating an electronic Philly Math Word Wall.

Laptop Activity- Using PowerPoint, create a slideshow for the classroom's Philly Math Word Wall.

Be Creative. Students may use free math clip art, illustrate, or use the Photo Booth camera for the visual. You are encouraged to use the Record a Sound PowerPoint feature or GarageBand to enhance the slides.

Each slide needs the term, its definition, a visual and hopefully a related sound.
