Introduction to Series

Fall for a series. Learners determine how to find out how far a skydiver falls in the first 20 seconds. The Algebra II lesson introduces the idea of adding up the terms of an arithmetic sequence. Pupils learn how to use Sigma notation to...

Examine the importance of sequence and series through contextual situations. Here, learners partake in a five-day unit that begins with the basics of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. As it progresses, pupils apply the...

In this infinite geometric series activity, 11th graders solve and complete 33 various types of problems. First, they find the sum of the infinite geometric series for each of the given. Then, students find the range of values for each...

In this sigma notation and series worksheet, 11th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include determining the sigma notation and series of each problem. First, they determine the sequence in each given a set of...

So you have a given number in expanded form where you have to multiply that same number several times. Make it a little easier for yourself and write it in exponential form. As long as the number has the same base being multiplied you...

Help your class develop an understanding of sigma notation. Pupils match the sigma notation with the sums. Using the expanded sums, learners evaluate the summations. The scholars move on to prove a property of sums.

Pupils use Excel Database to explore sequences and series. They examine how to calculate term positions and Sigma Notations. Students use Excel to calculate the values and they print the pages for grading.
