This activity explores the topic of geometric series in a College Algebra or Quantitative Reasoning class. It introduces students to geometric series through geometry, algebra, hands- on exercises, and real-world applications. It aims to provide students with an introduction to the idea of convergence of an infinite series, which is particularly useful for students progressing to Calculus. The activity also includes a bonus homework extension which explores the relationship between centroids of triangles and a geometric series.
