Sum of n Terms of an A.P<br />
Specific objective: To find the sum of first n terms of an A.P<br />
Description: Through this activity sheet, students will find the formula for the sum<br />
of first n terms of an A.P. A few steps are given as a hint.<br />
Execution: Initiate the discussion with students on how Gauss found the sum of<br />
first <strong>10</strong>0 natural numbers. Proceeding further, students will be asked to find the<br />
formula for the sum of first n terms of an A.P using the clues given in the worksheet.<br />
Further, they would be asked to find the solutions of problems using the formulae.<br />
Parameters for assessment:<br />
Able to find the formulae for finding the sum of first n terms of an A.P.<br />
