Curated OER
Worksheet 11 - Intervals
In this interval worksheet, students write a geometric series for the derivatives of a function. Students determine the values of x and where it may converge. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.
Curated OER
Partial Sums
Young scholars add numbers and represent digits in extended form. In this extended form lesson plan, students complete this with 2 digit addition problems.
Curated OER
Discussion Sheet 6: Convergence or Divergence
In this convergence or divergence worksheet, students perform tests for convergence or divergence. They estimate the sum in a series and determine the value of the convergent series. This one-page worksheet contains three problems.

Finding The Sum of an Infinite Series
High schoolers examine finding the sum of an infinite series as the limit of partial sums. Through hands-on activities, students create their own sequence by finding the area of a square and then cutting it in half-sized pieces. They...
