This CoolMath resource will help students understand sequences and series. The symbol "sigma" is featue

The lesson discusses sigma notation and series. Students learn about strategies to find an expression for a sequence or series. The resource consists of class notes, calculator tips, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The...

Explanation and examples for series and sigma notation.

Hotmath provides 20 practice problems relating to sequences and series. Each of the practice problems include a step-by-step guide for solving.

Explains the basic terminology and notation of sequences and series, including summation symbols, subscripts, and indices.

Evaluate finite geometric series given in sigma notation, recursively, or explicitly. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This activity shows students the power of finite and infinite series. It can be used as an introduction to infinite series provided that the student is adept at using the sigma notation to denote such series. (Continued: See before the...
