Stage 1: Desired Results
Understandings
Students will understand the convergence of infinite sequences and series and their application in higher
mathematics and other areas.
Essential Questions
 When does a series converge? diverge?
 What does it mean for a series to
converge or diverge?
Knowledge & Skill
Learning Targets
I can determine if a series will converge, diverge, or
converge conditionally.
I can use the tests of convergence to determine limits.
I can find specified terms in a sequence or series.
I can find the sum of finite and infinite series.
Vocabulary

Sequence, Series, Converge, Diverge, Converge
Conditionally, Converge Absolutely, Sum, Test of
Convergence
Stage 2: Assessment Evidence
Students will demonstrate their understanding through daily class work, daily homework, quizzes, and a unit
test. The teacher will use questioning to verify and develop student understanding during the day’s lesson.
The teacher may also use warm-up problems, board work, games, exit slips, and other related activities during
their instruction.
