III. Lesson Proper
Teacher’s Activity Learners’ Activity
A. Daily Routine
Good morning, class! : Good morning, sir!
Let us start our class with the guidance of our
Lord. Who wants to lead us a prayer? Yes? : (Prayer)
Okay. Before we start, these are the rules of
our class.
1. Open your camera
2. Mute your mic
3. Raise the hand button if you have
question
Do you have any question or clarifications : None, sir.
regarding our class rules?
Class Secretary, may you check the
attendance. Is there anyone absent for : None, sir.
today?
Very good. Keep up the good work.
Before we move on our topic for today, have
you submitted your assignment in Google : Yes, sir!
classroom?
Good job. Can someone share what they can : Our topic last time Sir was about Problems
recall about our topic last meeting? involving oblique triangles.
.
Exactly! Seems like you understand the topic
I have discussed last meeting. Let’s now
proceed to the discovery of our new topic.
B. Motivation
Since you’ve been doing great in all the
activities in our previous lesson, I think it
would be better to introduce our new lesson
with a new activity that I’m sure you would
enjoy.
Is everyone excited? : Yes ma’am!
Activity: Complete the Incomplete
Direction: Look, investigate and find the : Expected answer :
missing term of each sequence.
Well done! Now, let’s begin.
C. Analysis
Based on the visuals in our activity, what can : There is a pattern being formed to
you observe about it? determine the next answer.
Since there is a pattern or sequence occurring
in the activity we just answered, who agree
that we can do this also in numbers and not
just images? : Some will say yes.
D. Abstraction
What can you observe in this picture?
: There is a pattern occurring in the picture.
Is it increasing or decreasing? By how many? : It is increasing by 1 Sir.
How about this numbers?
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 …
Is it increasing or decreasing? By how many? : It is increasing by 2 Sir.
Good job! The example I have shown is an
example of what we called Arithmetic
Sequence.
We have here the definition of Arithmetic : An Arithmetic Sequence is a sequence
Sequence, who wants to read it? Yes? where every term after the first is obtained by
adding a constant called the common
difference.
Is the meaning of arithmetic sequence clear
to you, class? : Yes, sir!
For further understanding, let’s take a look to : The number of matchsticks increases by 3
the result of this illustration. What do you as we add another square.
observe on the number of matchsticks?
: An= a1+ (n-1) d
Form n square. Will you read the formula, a1 is the first term
class? d is the common difference n is the number
of terms
An is the nth term
Thank you!
Now, let’s check from our table. We let 4 as
a1 which is the first term, n which is the
number of terms and subtracted by 1 to get : Yes, sir.
the 1 and we let 3 as d as the common
difference. Did you get it class?
Now, we can find already of how many
numbers of matchsticks in 20 squares. We
will now use the formula An= a1+ (n-1) d to
find it.
Who wants to substitute our given in the : A20= 4 + (20-1)3
formula? Yes?
Very Good! : A20 =4+(19)3
Who wants to solve it? Yes? =4+ 57
=61
Good Job!
We can now conclude that we need 61
matchsticks to form 20 squares. Did you get : Yes, sir.
it, class?
For further understanding, let’s have another
example. : What is the 10th term of the arithmetic
Will you read it? Yes? sequence 5, 12, 19, 26, … ?
Thank you!
Now, what is the first term of our sequence? : 5, sir.
Yes?
Very good!
Who wants to give me the common : 7 sir.
difference? Yes?
Exactly!
Now, who wants to substitute this given in the : An= a1+ (n-1) d
formula? Yes? A10=5 + (10-1) 7
Great Job!
Now, who wants to solve? Yes?
A10= 5 +(9)7
= 5 + 54
Precisely! = 59
And the value of 10th term in our sequence is
59. Did you follow, class?
Seems like you already understand on how to : Yes, sir.
solve arithmetic sequence
E. Application
To test if you understand our topic, let’s have : Mechanics:
a game entitled “Answer Me”. Who wants to 1.The teacher will give an arithmetic
read the mechanics? Yes? sequence on screen and answer what is
asked on it.
2.The first student who answered first and got
the correct answer will get a point.
3.The students who get the highest points will
get a prize
: Yes, sir.
Is the instruction clear to you, class? Ok, we
may now start.
:3
:4
In the arithmetic sequence 3,7,11,15,19, . . . : 99
What is the first term?
What is the common difference? What is the
25th term of the sequence?
Is the sequence 15, 17, 19, 21, . . . consider
an arithmetic sequence? : Yes
: 16
Yes or No?
If a1=1 and d=5, what is A4?
There are 115 passengers in the first carriage
of a train, 130 passengers in the second
carriage and 145 in the third carriage and so
on. How many passengers will there be in the
8th carriage?
Based on the outcomes of your work, it
seems you learned a lot on our topic.
: An Arithmetic Sequence is a sequence
F. Valuing where every term after the first is obtained by
adding a constant called the common
difference.
To sum up what we have tackled for today,
who wants to give me the definition of
Arithmetic Sequence? Yes?
: An= a1+ (n-1) d
Great Job!
And who wants to give me the formula of
arithmetic sequence in finding the nth term?
Excellent!
IV. Evaluation
To test your understanding on our
topic for today, bring out 1 whole
sheet of paper and answer the
following.
1. Find the 6th term of the arithmetic
sequence 1,0,-1,-2,-3,…
2. Using the formula, which
term of the arithmetic
sequence is -18, given that
a1=7 and a2=2?
3. Find the 9th term of the arithmetic
sequence with a1=10 and d=-1/2
4. What is the 15th term of the
arithmetic sequence 2,4,6,8,…?
5. The third term of a sequence is
16 and the fourth term is 20, what
is the first term?
V. Assignment
For your home assignment, bring out
your notes and copy what is on the
screen to be check tomorrow.
1. Give the definition of an
arithmetic mean.
2. Find the arithmetic means
between 5 and 25.
