Sequences and Series

Help your class discover possible patterns in a sequence of numbers and then write an equation with a lesson that covers sequence notation and function notation. Graphs are used to represent the number patterns.

Natural human interest in patterns and algebraic study of function notation are linked in this introductory unit on the properties of sequences. Once presented with a pattern or situation, the class works through how to justify...

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...

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...

Take steps into sequences. An 11-lesson unit builds upon pupils' previous understanding of writing expressions to develop the idea of sequences. The resource explores both arithmetic and geometric sequences using recursive and explicit...

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

Students solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

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.

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

This is a lesson from Richland Community College on arithmetic sequences. This site provides theories and examples for working with different problems of arithmetic sequences such as calculating the Sum and Difference of an arithmetic...
