True or False Sorting Cards for Arithmetic Sequences and Series

Image

I have noticed that my students get a bit confused sometimes with arithmetic sequences. They think that the statement above is true: the sixth term in a sequence can be found by doubling the third term. So I made up a set of true/false sorting cards that highlighted some common misconceptions. There are seven statements like the one above that I ask students to sort and then we discuss them as a class.

I made these cards with Tarsia; a pdf is available here.
