Iteration WORKSHEET

This iteration worksheet contains varied and extensive practice in rearranging equations, choosing or confirming iterative formulae rearranged to original equations. Learners will use iterative formulae to find different values for x and use these to find estimates for solutions to equations as well as showing that quadratic equations have roots between two given values.

There is a section that looks at iteration and population models where students will use a given iteration formula to predict an increasing population and use population numbers to create an iteration formula in order to predict numbers in a decreasing population.
