Lesson 7

A. \(f(1)=6\)

\(f(n) = f(n-1) - 5\) for \(n\ge2\)

B. \(f(1)=6\)

\(f(n) = \frac 1 2 \boldcdot f(n-1)\) for \(n\ge2\)

C. \(f(0)=6\)

\(f(n) = 10 \boldcdot f(n-1)\) for \(n \ge1\)

D. \(f(1)=6\)

\(f(n) = f(n-1) + n^2\) for \(n\ge2\)

If your teacher gives you the data card:

1. Silently read the information on your card.
2. Ask your partner “What specific information do you need?” and wait for your partner to ask for information. Only give information that is on your card. (Do not figure out anything for your partner!)
3. Before telling your partner the information, ask “Why do you need to know (that piece of information)?”
4. Read the problem card, and solve the problem independently.
5. Share the data card, and discuss your reasoning.
