Maths IBAA – 1.23 Sigma Notation (arithmetic series)

Description: Engage in a dual-approach learning experience with our two comprehensive PowerPoint presentations dedicated to Sigma notation within the Maths IB Analysis and Approaches syllabus. Each presentation delves into the nuanced concept of Σ (sigma notation) using specific graphing calculators—the Casio Graphing Display Calculator (GDC) and the Texas Instrument Graphing Display Calculator (GDC).

These presentations intricately explore the essence of Σ in arithmetic series, guiding students through expressing series using sigma notation. With a focus on practical application, both presentations meticulously demonstrate how to harness the functionalities of the respective GDCs to calculate the value of series expressed in sigma notation.

Aligned with the Maths IB Analysis and Approaches syllabus, our presentations foster an immersive learning environment.

Elevate your mathematical journey with these presentations, designed to equip students with the essential skills to navigate and manipulate arithmetic series using sigma notation, leveraging the capabilities of diverse graphing calculators.
