Lesson Plan: Partial Sums Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to find the 𝑛th partial sum of a series and determine the convergence or divergence of the series from the limit of its partial sum.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- calculate partial sums of infinite series,
- understand convergence and divergence of infinite series in terms of limits of partial sums,
- know the formula for the partial sum of a geometric series,
- define telescopic series and consider their convergence or divergence using partial sums.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the definition of a series,
- geometric sequences and series,
- limits.
