 IA-6.1 Categorize a sequence as arithmetic, geometric, or neither. 
An Introduction to Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Lesson: Introduces students to arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students explore further through producing sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and add-on.
Patterns in Fractals Lesson: Introduces students to the idea of finding number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.
Patterns in Pascal's Triangle Lesson: Shows students that number patterns exist in the Pascal's Triangle, and reinforces student's ability to identify patterns.

Another Hilbert Curve Generator
Activity: Students work step-by-step through the generation of a different Hilbert-like Curve (a fractal made from deforming a line by bending it), allowing them to explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

Sequencer
Activity: Learn about number patterns in sequences and recursions by specifying a starting number, multiplier, and add-on. The numbers in the sequence are displayed on a graph, and they are also listed below the graph.

Sierpinski's Carpet
Activity: Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Carpet -- a fractal made from subdividing a square into nine smaller squares and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

Sierpinski's Triangle
Activity: Step through the generation of Sierpinski's Triangle -- a fractal made from subdividing a triangle into four smaller triangles and cutting the middle one out. Explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.

Tortoise and Hare Race
Activity: Step through the tortoise and hare race, based on Zeno's paradox, to learn about the multiplication of fractions and about convergence and limits to an infinite sequence.
 IA-6.2 Carry out a procedure to write a specified term of an arithmetic or geometric sequence when given the nth term of the sequence. 
An Introduction to Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Lesson: Introduces students to arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students explore further through producing sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and add-on.
