This SAT Sphere lesson focuses on essential SAT test topics in the Sequences and Series section. You'll build a strong understanding of core concepts, learn time-saving test-taking strategies, and apply your knowledge to realistic Digital SAT practice questions.
01
Introduction to Sequences and Series
Explains why recognizing patterns of growth is crucial for Digital SAT problem-solving and reminds students to recall exponent laws, linear growth, and translating word phrases to algebraic expressions.
02
Recognizing and Notating Sequences
Defines sequences, introduces subscript notation for terms, and refreshes index use from earlier work with function notation.
03
Arithmetic Sequences and the nth-Term Formula
Derives $$a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d$$ and relates constant differences to the slope concept from linear functions studied in Fundamentals of Algebra.
04
Practice: Arithmetic Sequences
Provides SAT-style items that reinforce finding terms and common differences, extending prior practice with linear patterns.
05
Geometric Sequences and the nth-Term Formula
Introduces an=a1r^{n−1} and connects constant ratios to exponential functions covered in the previous lesson on Exponents & Logarithms.
06
Practice: Geometric Sequences
Offers targeted problems on identifying the common ratio and computing specific terms, reinforcing exponent manipulation skills.
07
Classifying Sequence Type
Trains students to distinguish arithmetic, geometric, and neither, building on differences between linear and exponential change.
08
Series and Sigma Notation
Introduces summation symbols and partial sums, extending the translation skills from earlier expression-building slides.
09
Summation of Arithmetic Series
Derives and applies the formula S_n = n/2 (a_1 + a_n) for quick calculation of arithmetic sums, reinforcing linear pattern recognition.
10
Summation of Geometric Series and Convergence
Derives finite-sum formula and introduces infinite-sum convergence when |r|<1, extending Slide 5’s geometric concepts.
11
Key Takeaways and Targeted Practice
Combines arithmetic and geometric series problems with time-saving strategies, spiraling back to sign management and exponent rules from prior modules.
