Sequence and Series - A level A2 Mathematics

These PowerPoints form full lessons of work that together cover the new A level Maths course for all exam boards. Together all the PowerPoints include;
A complete set of notes for students
Model examples
Probing questions to test understanding
Class questions including answers
Individual whiteboard work
Links to exercises in ‘The Textbook by CGP’ these can easily be edited for your textbook
The PowerPoints can be used in the lesson and also given to students that have missed a lesson
I have added ‘AS level maths 13 – Circles’ for free download

Sequence and series covers;

• Understand and work with arithmetic sequences and series, including the formulae for nth term and the sum to n terms
• Understand and work with geometric sequences and series including the formulae for the nth term and the sum of a finite geometric series
• The sum to infinity of a convergent geometric series, including the use of |r|<1
• Modulus notation
• Understand and use sigma notation for sums of series
• Use sequences and series in modelling
• Work with sequences including;
  * Those given by a formula for the nth term
  * Those generated by a simple relation of the form x_(n+1)= f(x_n )
  * Increasing and decreasing sequences
• Periodic sequences
