The objective of this task is to develop problem solving in math through anaylising information given and information required. The second objective is to develop and demonstrate understanding of arithmetic sequences.
The task:
Explore and identify different ways questions about arithmetic sequences can be posed. Use the activity below which contains a mixture of randomized questions.
- Examine the different questions generated by the activity.
- Categorise the questions by ‘information given’ and ‘information requested’.
- Make a table to present all the different question ‘types’.
- Choose three questions of different types to write and explain your solution.
- Finally, take the 12 question quiz. This will be and assign-to-you quiz given during class time when you are ready.

Suggested Page Structure
- Title page. Your name, the course, the date, a title for your project, a sentence describing the objective of the project and perhaps a relevant image.
- A table listing and describing at least 8 different types of question found in the activity.
- Screenshot a chosen problem you have correctly solved. Write and explain your solution.
- Screenshot a second chosen problem of a different type that you have correctly solved. Write and explain your solution.
- Screenshot a third chosen problem of a different type that you have correctly solved. Write and explain your solution.
- Take the quiz (assigned to you in class at your request), screenshot your results. Explain any errors you made while taking the quiz, especially if you make more than one attempt. There is no penalty for taking it more than once.
