This site gives a generalization of what the nth partial sum is through example of the 4th partial sum is.

The tutorial discusses sequences and series. Students learn about arithmetic sequences, geometric sequences, partial sums, and infinite geometric series. The resource consists of class notes and examples with solutions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] More on calculating the partial sums of arithmetic series.

This site gives the defintion of partial sum using the common symbol for summation.

Students learn about geometric and telescoping series and the relationship between the sequence of partial sums of a series and its sum. They then use the CAS of their TI-89 and calculus to determine the sum of these series.

This is a short lesson explaining the partial sums

This site is a lesson plan on the convergence of infinite series. This lesson combines algebraic and geometric interpretations of infinite series. Students calculate partial sums, and prove ideas about convergence of specific infintie...
