Eliciting Students’ Informal Ideas About Series: The Partial Sum Sequence Game
Page: 1049
Series play key roles in calculus and other disciplines, yet research highlights several challenges with the topic, underscoring the need for curricular innovations to support conceptual understanding. In this paper, we introduce the Partial Sum Sequence Game and argue that it, with the guidance of a teacher-researcher, supported a pair of undergraduate students to make important connections between sequences, sequences of partial sums, and series convergence.
