Geometric Sequence
A lesson that defines and introduces geometric sequences to students through example. It shows students how to evaluate the nth term of a geometric sequence, then the common ratio. This lesson introduces and demonstrates the usage of a finite geometric series pattern using real-world examples. While it does not address or derive the formula for the sum of a geometric series, a student's thorough understanding of geometric progressions and evaluating a common ratio using this lesson can lead up to other lessons which introduce that formula and its applications.
