IB Maths HL Revision - Arithmetic Sequences and Series

Updated: 6 days ago

Here is a short unit of revision designed to refresh your memory before exam day and to improve your skills. The videos and resources I use here are different to the ones I used in the original unit of work. If you find you are struggling with a particular concept try going back to the original unit and looking at some of the resources there. Sometimes we just need the same information presented in a different way to be able to grasp it well.
