This study used results from a preliminary survey to create and implement a teaching experiment specifically targeting students' understanding of infinite series. The experiment compared computational performance and conceptual understanding of two groups of calculus students. One group received traditional instruction on series; the other group received instruction which included classroom reform strategies such as writing during class, working in pairs, and an emphasis on visualization. Results and conclusions will be shared along with descriptions of classroom assessments and activities related to this project.
