Arithmatic Sequence: A sequence of numbers in which the next number in the sequence can be obtained by adding or subtracting the same number.
Geometric Sequence: A sequence of numbers in which the next number in the sequence can be obtained by multiplying or dividing.
These LOGO procecures accompany pages 6-11 in the eighth grade math book. There are five procedures that illustrate how LOGO can be used to produce the patterns in the first five exercise on page 8. There is also a procedure to produce the fibonacci sequence on page 10.
