Instructional Ideas
- Split the class into two groups, one to work through the discussion and the other to utilize the problems
- Find other geometric series that can be used to find finite sums
Classroom Considerations
- Adjust the problem set based on whether or not the individuals learned the method to find the finite sum of a geometric series
- The ninth in a series of 33
Pros
- Resource includes suggestions for scaffolding
