Students analyzed each pattern to determine whether it was arithmetic with a constant difference or geometric with a constant ratio. After identifying the type of sequence, they wrote the explicit formula and used it to calculate the 5th and 20th terms. This required students to move beyond simple pattern recognition and translate visual growth into precise algebraic language.
The vertical learning structure promoted collaboration, accountability, and academic discourse. Students stood together at the board, debated their reasoning, justified whether the pattern showed repeated addition or multiplication, and checked one another’s work before finalizing their diagnosis.
By connecting visual models to explicit formulas and long term predictions, students strengthened the exact skills needed for success on the Algebra Regents. This Regents ready activity built conceptual understanding while reinforcing procedural fluency and confidence.

Desi Dance joined the Black History Month celebration @ HSFI. They danced to the tune of "Run It Up" by Hanumankind that highlight themes of perseverance, ambition, and rising above obstacles—ideas that resonate strongly with the spirit of Black History Month. The song’s focus on success despite adversity reflects the historical journey of Black communities who have continually pushed forward in the face of systemic barriers.
Today in Ms. De La Rosa's Anatomy and Physiology class, parents and students were engaged in building Epithelial Tissue models with clay.
