Bellwork gave students practice finding the sum of a series, writing a series in sigma notation, and finding the explicit and recursive formulas for a sequence.

Hwk #5 is due today.

The remainder of the period we began discussing   Topic 1; Exploring; Geometric Sequences and Series. Students worked on a SAS3 question 2 which leads to writing a rule for a situation either as an Explicit Geometric Formula, a Recursive Geometric Formula, or an Exponential Function.
