● Divide the class into four groups.

Let students write on a piece of paper the
things they learned about arithmetic sequence and
present through
a. Song/Yell
b. Poem
c. Chant
d. Reporting
●Process all groups’presentation.

ACTIVITY 1: EXPLORATION

Note to the Teacher: (same grouping)

 Provide each group with strips of paper
 Out of the strips of paper, let the assigned group
find the first 5 terms given the following rule:
Group 1 – an = n +4
(expected answer: 5,6,7,8,9)
Group 2 – an = 2n – 1
(expected answer: 1,3,5,7,9)
Group 3 – an = - n +3
(expected answer: 2,1,0,- 1, -
2)
Group 4 – an = 2(n+3)
(expected answer:
8,10,12,14,16)

 Process all groups’ answers.

B. Establishing a
purpose for the lesson Motive Questions:
1. How did you find the activity?
(answers may vary)
2. Did you find it easy to give the first 5 terms of
each sequence?
(answers may vary)
3. What if you will be tasked to give the first 25
terms in each sequence?
(expected answer: time consuming)

Note: Lead the students to the concept of

“determining the nth term of an arithmetic
sequence”

C. Presenting examples ACTIVITY 2:

of the new lesson Finding the nth Term of an Arithmetic
Sequence

With the same groupings, you will be given the

terms of an arithmetic sequence and you will be
asked to find its nth term.

Content: Determining the nth Term of an Arithmetic Sequence

DISCUSSIONS:

Since an arithmetic sequence is an ordered collection of natural

numbers, it can sometimes be described by a rule/equation/nth
term/general term. The first few terms are given from which the
rule/equation/nth term/general term is defined.

By looking at the pattern and taking notes of its first term, second
term, third term, and so on, so with its common difference, the
rule/equation/nth term/general term can be discovered.

The ‘nth’ term is a formula with ‘n’ in it which enables you to find
any term of a sequence without having to go up from one term to the
next. ‘n ‘ stands for the term number so to find the 50th term we would
just substitute 50 in the formula in place of ‘n’.

A term to term rule allows you to find the next number in the
sequence if you know the previous term (or terms). This is also called a
recurcive rule.
