Grade 12 students in Manitoba learning Applied Math... They're in two different towns, and happen to be connected by Highway 10...They'll be learning with and from each other. Ryan Maksymchuk and Cam Bennet are teachers in Swan River and Dauphin, Manitoba, respectively. This is a bright idea that may encourage other teachers and students to consider collaborating with other learners in other places...It might work. It might not...Watch and see...

today we learned about sequences
sequences are very exciting and fun to do
there are 2 different kinds of sequences
arithmatic sequences are found by adding or subtracting a common number ex: 2,4,6,8
geometric sequences are found by multiplying a common ratio
ex: 2,4,8,16
a recursive formula is based on the preceding term
the formula is tn=tn-1x2
nMin=1st term
u(n)=formula
u(mim)=value of first term
on the calculator
