Convergence Tests for Infinite Series

Read a series to develop an understanding of series. The special focus professional development on infinite series consists of eight articles. Articles contain information strictly for teachers along with aspects to incorporate into the...

In this convergence worksheet, students apply tests to determine the convergence or divergence of a series and identify the limit of a sequence of terms. This one-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this integral test worksheet, students use the integral test to determine the upper and lower bounds for a given function. They identify the convergence of a series. This one-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this infinite sum worksheet, students identify an infinite geometric series, and use the Riemann sum. This one-page worksheet contains 6 multi-step problems.

In this math worksheet, students practice using the series test for convergence. Then they look at the proofs to see if the series satisfy the conditions.

In this trigonometry worksheet, students calculate the sum of the terms in an arithmetic and geometric series.  This two-page worksheet contains 5 multi-step problems.  Answers are provided at the bottom of the page.

For this alternate series test worksheet, students use the alternating series test to determine if the given six infinite series converge.

The concept of a series that converges to a particular sum is discussed here. This lesson is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Convergent Series." [2:52]

Geometric series either get bigger or approach a single number. So, how do you know which it is? An interactive presents three different geometric series with varying common ratios. With the aid of patterns, pupils determine values of r...
