Tutero's geometric sequences lesson explores patterns of multiplication in sequences of numbers. Students learn to identify common ratios and terms in geometric sequences and apply them to growth and decay scenarios, such as population growth or compound interest calculations. By analysing patterns and making predictions, students develop critical thinking skills and apply mathematical concepts to real-world situations.
In geometric sequences, the lesson plan includes enabling prompts to support students learning the basic concept and formulae, complemented by extending prompts for those ready to explore more complex sequences and their applications in growth and decay scenarios. This approach ensures that students can effectively apply these patterns to various mathematical and practical problems.

Recognising Geometric Patterns
Students start by recognising simple geometric patterns in their environment. They progress to identifying patterns in tiling, wallpaper designs, and nature. By Year 5, they analyse and create complex geometric patterns, understanding their mathematical foundations and applications.
Constructing Simple Geometric Sequences
Early years focus on constructing simple sequences with shapes and figures. They learn to predict and extend these sequences logically. By Year 5, students construct more complex geometric sequences, understanding the underlying rules and using them to solve problems.
Applications of Geometric Sequences
Initially applying geometric sequences to model simple growth patterns, students explore broader applications such as architecture and design. By Year 5, they apply geometric sequences to complex situations in technology and science, understanding their practical importance and mathematical basis.
