Slide Number 1

Title slide

Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Sequences in GeoGebra.
Slide Number 2

Learning Objectives

In this tutorial we will learn to,
  • Use spreadsheet view to create simple sequences
  • Use commands to create sequences and progressions
  • Divide the line segment into parts
  • Use Sequence command along with other commands
Slide Number 3

System Requirement

To record this tutorial, I am using;
  • Ubuntu Linux OS version 16.04
  • GeoGebra version 5.0.438.0-d
Slide Number 4

Pre-requisites

https://spoken-tutorial.org

To follow this tutorial, learner should be familiar with GeoGebra interface.

For the prerequisite GeoGebra tutorials, please visit this website.

Show the list of commands. The commands used in the tutorial are provided in the Code Files link.
Cursor on GeoGebra interface. I have already opened GeoGebra interface.
Point to Algebra and Graphics views. We will first resize and place the Algebra view above the Graphics view.
Place the cursor on Algebra view's title bar. Place the cursor on the Algebra view's title bar.
Click and drag the mouse.

Point to the rectangular outline.

Release the mouse.

Click and drag the mouse.

When you see a rectangular outline, release the mouse.

Drag the boundary. Drag boundary to see the Graphics view clearly.
Cursor on GeoGebra interface. To create sequences, I will open the Spreadsheet view.
Click on View menu >> click on Spreadsheet check-box Click on View menu and select Spreadsheet check-box.
Cursor on the Spreadsheet view. Spreadsheet view opens next to the views.
Drag boundary of the Spreadsheet view. Drag the boundary to see the Spreadsheet view clearly.
Type 2 in cell A1 >> press Enter. In the cell A1 type 2 and press Enter.
Type A1+2 >> press Enter.

Point to cell A2.

In the cell A2 type A1+2 and press Enter.

Four is displayed in the cell A2.

Cursor in cell A2. Now we will create a sequence of numbers using the formula entered in cell A2.
Place cursor at the corner of cell A2 drag the fill handle.

Point to the sequence of even numbers.

Place the cursor at the corner of cell A2 and drag the fill handle till cell A15.

Observe that, a sequence of even numbers is displayed in the cells.

Cursor in Spreadsheet view. Now we will create a list for this sequence.
Select the cells from A1 to A15 by dragging.

Right-click to open the context menu.

Select the cells from A1 to A15 by dragging.

When we right-click on the selected cells, a context menu opens.

Select Create >> List.

Point to the list l1 in the Algebra view.

In the menu select Create and then List.

A list l1 is created in the Algebra view.

Drag boundary of the Algebra view. Drag the boundary of the Algebra view to see the complete list.
Point to the numbers in the list l1. l1 contains a list of even numbers from 2 to 30.
Click on Close button. Close the Spreadsheet view by clicking on the Close button.
Right-click on l1 in Algebra view. We will rename l1 as Evens.

In the Algebra view right-click on l1.

From the sub-menu, select Rename. From the sub-menu, select Rename.
In the Rename text box, type Evens >> click OK button. In the Rename text box, type Evens and click on the OK button.
Cursor on the interface. We can create a similar sequence for odd numbers using the Sequence command.
Type, Odds=Sequence.

Point to various options of Sequence command.

In the Input bar type Odds=Sequence.

Various options appear.

Select the option Sequence(<Expression>, <Variable>, <Start Value>, <End Value>).

Type Expression as 2n+1

Press Tab key.

Type Variable as n,

Press Tab key >> type Start Value as 0.

Press Tab key >> type End Value as 15.

Press Enter.

Type the Expression as 2n+1.

To go to the next argument, press Tab key.

Type Variable as n.

Press Tab key and type Start Value as 0.

Again press Tab key and type End Value as 15.

And then press Enter.

Point to the Odds sequence. Observe the sequence of odd numbers from 1 to 31 in the Algebra view.
Cursor on the interface. We will use the Sequence command to show a series of points in the Graphics view.
L_1=sequence[(n,0),n, 1,10]

Highlight the command in the input bar.

In the Input bar type the following command.

This command draws points at (n,0) where n goes from 1 to 10.

Press Enter.
