Review based on: personal experience |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept, practice of skills and understandings, applications of a concept or technique, advanced investigations |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? addition, multiplication, negative numbers. Would be nice to have levels of difficulty in case younger students cannot multiply large numbers. Could be done if students have a calculator. |
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource? none |
What extra things must be done to make it work? none |
How hard was it for you to learn? Very Easy |
Explanation: There are empty boxes after a list of numbers, typing the next few numbers is easy. Finding the patterns can be difficult. |
Ability to meet my goals: Very Effective |
Recommended for: Math 5: Operations with numbers, Number sense, Number theory, Integers, Algebra and expressions, Equations and functions Math 6: Operations with numbers, Number sense, Number theory, Integers, Algebra and expressions, Equations and functions |
