Lesson Plan: Alternating Series Test Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to determine whether an alternating series is convergent or divergent using the alternating series test.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- recognize alternating series,
- determine whether an alternating series is convergent or divergent using the alternating series test.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the definition of a series,
- the concepts of convergence and divergence for series,
- geometric series and series,
- the integral test for series,
- the term divergence test.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- conditional and absolute convergence.
