Lesson 7: 11.7 Strategy for Testing Series
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Students will use all prior knowledge from this chapter to determine the type of series, what test to apply, and whether the series converges or diverges.
- What is the given series type?
- What test should we use to determine convergence?
- Can more than one test be used for any series?
(determining whether series converge or diverge)
- Determine the type of series and using any of the tests for convergence we have previously learned.
- DOK Levels 1-4
- calculating total future value of annuities and investments
- calculating materials needed for construction
- radioactive decay and population growth
Students may struggle to determine which test to use without referencing notes. However, after sufficient practice, notes should not be necessary.
