Summary
Give kids a taste of a sequence, let them build an understanding, and then see how far their predictions can take them.
- Students will look for patterns and predict how many squares there will be at step 10.
- Next, they'll predict how many squares there will be at *step 50!*
- I reveal the answer (2,550) and propose the challenge of adding the first 50 *odd* numbers. (Psst, you can square 50).
Teachers love Byrdseed.TV!
"I love Byrdseed TV! I use it as a resource and inspiration source! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and knowledge." ~ Kari in Texas
"I absolutely LOVE all of the ideas on your site. I am using Byrdseed TV to differentiate activities for my clustered students to work on when the rest of the class is doing something they've already mastered." ~ Wendy in Washington
"I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way (that, by the way, is a compliment)." ~ Elizabeth from Florida
