FREE Arithmetic Sequences Task Cards | Recursive & Explicit Sample

FREE Arithmetic Sequences Sample Pack — Task Cards + Scavenger Hunt Station

Try a genuine slice of our full 66-page Arithmetic Sequences Task Cards & Scavenger Hunt resource — completely free! This 9-page sample includes real task cards and a real scavenger hunt station taken directly from the paid product, with a complete answer key.

⭐ WHAT'S IN THIS FREE SAMPLE (9 Pages)

4 Task Cards:

2 Tier A cards — Find the next 3 terms in an arithmetic sequence 2 Tier C cards — Write the recursive formula (our key differentiator — most TPT resources skip recursive!) 1 Scavenger Hunt Station:

A sample station card showing the self-checking "Previous Answer" format In the full resource, 12 stations form a closed loop that requires zero teacher grading Complete Answer Key:

Step-by-step worked solutions for every card and station Not just answers — full reasoning modeled so students (and substitutes!) can follow Concept Review Page:

Side-by-side comparison of recursive vs. explicit formulas Both formulas explained with a visual diagram 🎯 WHY THIS FREEBIE STANDS OUT

✅ Recursive AND explicit forms — most free TPT arithmetic sequences resources cover only the explicit formula. This sample gives you Tier C (recursive) cards, directly addressing Common Core standard HSF.BF.A.2.

✅ Real content, not filler — every card here is from the full paid resource. Try it with your students today.

✅ Self-checking format — the scavenger station shows how the full 12-station hunt works: students solve, match answers, and the loop closes itself.

✅ Worked solutions — the answer key models the reasoning, not just the final answer.

📐 PERFECT FOR:

Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 arithmetic sequences units Common Core HSF.LE.A.2 and HSF.BF.A.2 alignment Quick station rotations or exit tickets Sub plans (self-checking = no grading needed) Trying before you buy the full 66-page resource 📦 FILE INCLUDES
