Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: Grade 11

Objective: Compute arithmetic progression

Learning across curriculum:

1) Physics: The concept of motion in physics involves the study of objects moving in
a specific pattern or sequence. This connects to mathematics as the calculation of
arithmetic progression can be used to determine the position of an object at a given
time.

2) Economics: In economics, the study of population growth and inflation rates can
be related to arithmetic progression. The increase or decrease in population or
prices can be calculated using the concept of arithmetic progression.

3) Computer Science: In computer science, algorithms often involve repetitive

patterns or sequences. Understanding arithmetic progression can help in designing
efficient algorithms for various computational tasks.

ANALYSIS:

Activity 1 - The students were able to correctly identify arithmetic progressions,

calculate the common difference, and find the next terms. This activity helped them
understand the patterns and rules of arithmetic progression.

Activity 2 - The students successfully applied arithmetic progression to real-life

scenarios and solved practical problems. They demonstrated their ability to use
arithmetic progression in various contexts.

Activity 3 - Through graphing, the students visually analyzed the patterns in

arithmetic progressions and made connections to the concept of slope or rate of
change. This activity enhanced their understanding of arithmetic progression and its
graphical representation.

ABSTRACTION:

Arithmetic progression involves a sequence of numbers where the difference

between consecutive terms is constant. By identifying the common difference and
observing the patterns, we can calculate specific terms, determine missing values,
and make predictions. The rules and patterns in arithmetic progression deepen our
understanding of mathematical sequences and their applications in various fields.

APPLICATION:

Task 1 - Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Task: Students will research and analyze real-world examples of arithmetic

progression, such as population growth rates, stock market trends, or sports
statistics. They will create presentations or reports that demonstrate their
understanding of arithmetic progression in these contexts.

Task 2 - Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning

Task: Students will participate in a simulation or game that involves making

decisions based on arithmetic progression. For example, they can play a business
simulation game where they need to calculate profits and determine pricing
strategies using arithmetic progression concepts.
