when provided a
recursive rule
Linkage Levels
Initial Precursor:
• Classify
• Contrast objects
• Order objects
Distal Precursor:
• Recognize symbolic patterns
• Recognize sequence
Proximal Precursor:
• Recognize arithmetic sequences
• Recognize the recursive rule for arithmetic
sequences
Target:
• Extend an arithmetic sequence by applying
the recursive rule
Successor:
• Determine the term in an arithmetic
sequence given the nth term formula
