To know how well we are learning this, we will look for…


Correct answers on the test
The differences between sequences and series as well as between
arithmetic sequences/series and geometric sequences/series.
It is important for us to learn this (or be able to do this)
because....

Before break we…
Started the Chapter 11 test, took the chapter 12 pre-test,
reviewed the success criteria and set some goals for Chapter
12.
This chapter is an introduction to the study of discrete mathematics.
Sequences and series are used in calculus and statistics, which
translates to multiple job professions such as engineering and
statisticians.
Tomorrow we will learn about…

Arithmetic sequences and series, specifically how to find an nth term
and an arithmetic means of an arithmetic sequence. We will also be
able to find the sum of n terms of an arithmetic series.
Answer the following questions individually and then discuss with a partner:
1. What was your specific goal for Chapter 12 and how do you plan on accomplishing it?
2. Use your phone and go to www.dictionary.com . Define the following:
a) Sequence
b) Series
c) Arithmetic
d) Geometric
3. Make a conjecture as to the difference between the following in mathematics:
a) Sequence and Series
b) Arithmetic sequence/series and Geometric sequence/series
