I'd be really grateful for any suggestions on how to translate 'series de números normales'. I think it might be 'standard number series', but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks!

standard number series
Explanation:
As is often the case with PowerPoints, we can only guess as to the meaning. But this seems an obvious way to translate it.

series of normal numbers


Explanation:
Normal numbers mean numbers with a gaussian distribution (graphical representation).


The normal distribution is the proper term for a probability bell curve.
In a normal distribution the mean is zero and the standard deviation is 1. It has zero skew and a kurtosis of 3.

Normal distributions are symmetrical, but not all symmetrical distributions are normal.

Many naturally-occurring phenomena tend to approximate the normal distribution.

gaussian distribution = normal distribution

Gaussian derives from Carl Friedrich Gauss, the German mathematician who identified the mathematics of normal distributions.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your suggestion Francois. I think in this specific context about standards, 'standard or preferred number series' is probably correct.
