Students will practice evaluating series written in summation notation with this fun and engaging Cross-Number Puzzle. Examples include linear, quadratic, and cubic expressions. The index of summation does not always begin at 1.
This activity is similar to a crossword puzzle, but instead of filling in letters, students fill in numbers. There are both Across and Down problems. Students evaluate each series and record their answers in the puzzle accordingly. The puzzle is self-checking, allowing students to spot and correct errors if their answers do not fit.
There are 22 total series to evaluate. While this activity can be completed independently, I highly recommend completing it with a partner since there is a bit of work involved. When working in pairs, one partner can complete the Across problems while the other works on the Down problems.
