The artifact I chose to use for arithmetic sequence is a collection of arithmetic sequences we worked on with partners. We used the four starting numbers, the common difference, and the first term (first number in the sequence). The common difference of the arithmetic sequence is the difference between each number of the sequence. This difference between the numbers in that specific sequence is always the same. The skills I used in this artifact are critical thinking and problem solving. I used problem solving when I made mistakes in my math and I figured out what I did wrong. I used critical thinking when I had to use the different components of the arithmetic sequence to find the full equation. I could use this skills in many many ways when I go into the working world. An example of this is when I have a problem at work I will be able to use problem solving. My strengths in this artifacts were using the equation correctly to find the answer to the sequence. The challenge I had with this artifact was figuring out what numbers to use in the equation. What is the most common area of nature where arithmetic sequences are found? How do you determine what term the sequence is in nature? A conclusion I have made is arithmetic sequences are found in nature when something is growing like a plant like a tree. Nature has a weird way of having math in it. This is present in the growth of the diameter of the tree trunk. https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-Arithmetic-Progression-in-Nature
