C. PRESENTATION OF THE TOPIC (LESSON PROPER)

A. Pre-define Instruction (Activity)
The teacher will give an activity that will present the lesson. The teacher will let
the students observe the square that will appear in the screen and will let the
students fill up the table.

Number of 1 2 3 4 n
Squares

Number of
Sticks

After filling out the table, the teacher will discuss the activity meeting the topic
which is the Arithmetic sequence.

Number of 1 2 3 4 n
Squares

Number of 4 7 10 13
Sticks

An Arithmetic Sequence is a sequence where every term after the first is

obtained by adding a constant called the common difference.
The teacher will discuss the result of the number of the matchsticks in every
square added and let the students practice in the board.

4 4+3=7 4+3+3=10 4+3+3+3=13 4+3+3+3+3=15

The teacher will give different examples and let the students practice in the
board.

Formula:

= + (n-1) d
is the first term
d is the common difference
n is the number of terms
is the nth term

Suppose we want to find the number of matchsticks of 20 squares. From the

formula, we are ready to find of how many numbers of matchsticks in 20 squares
Given:

is 4
d (common difference) is 3
n is 20
A20= 4 + (20-1)3
A20 =4+(19)3
=4+ 57
=61

The teacher will discuss the other way of getting the common difference.
Formula:
( )

Given: , d= ?, n = 6,

Solution:
( )
( )
( )

9=d

B. Reporting
The teacher will give a group work activity. The representative of the group will
answer on the board and discuss. They are only given five minutes to discuss
and answer.
Group 1:
Find the 25th term of the arithmetic sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,…
Group 2:
Find the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence 5, 12, 19, 26, …
Group 3:
Find the 6th term of the arithmetic sequence 1,0,-1,-2,-3,…

C. Drills
The teacher will call another five students and answer the activity in the board.

Find the missing terms in each arithmetic sequence.

1. 3, 12, 21, __, __, __.
2. 8, 3, -2, __, __, __.
3. 5, 12, __, 26, __.
4. 2, __, 20, 29, __.
5. 17, 14, __, __, 5.
C. APPLICATION
The teacher will give a group activity and will present the mechanics.
Mechanics:
1. The class will be divided into 3 groups.
2. Representative of each group will come at the teacher’s table and get their
materials for the game.
3. The teacher will show the problem on the screen and answer what is asked on
it.
4. The first group who will raise their board first and got the correct answer will
get a point.
5. The group who will get the highest points will be the winner and awarded by
chocolate.

Solve the nth term of the given problem.

1. Annalisa saved P5.00 on June 1, P13.00 on June 2, and P21.00 on June 3
and so on until June 30. How much would she have saved by the end of the
month? (1min./5pts.)

2. A restaurant has one square table which seat four people. When two tables
are placed together, six people can be seated. If 20 square tables are placed
together to form one long table, how many people can be seated? (1 min./5pts.)

D. GENERALIZATION

The teacher will call a student randomly to recite or retell to summarize the topic. The
teacher will show a graphic organizer.

Arithmetic
Sequence

It is a sequence
where every term
after the first is
obtained by adding
a constant called
the common
difference.
𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎 + (n-1) d
𝑎 is the first term
d is the common
difference
n is the number of
terms
𝑎𝑛 is the nth term

IV. EVALUATION
In a sheet of paper (crosswise), answer the following questions.
A. Solve the nth term of a given arithmetic sequence.
1. Find the 6th term of the arithmetic sequence 1,0,-1,-2,-3,…
2. Find the 9th term of the arithmetic sequence with a1=10 and d=-1/2
3. What is the 15th term of the arithmetic sequence 2, 4, 6, 8,…?
B. Identify whether it is an arithmetic sequence or not. Write AS if yes, and
NAS if not.
1. 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,…
2. 4, 16, 64, 256,…
3. 48, 24, 12, 6, 3,…
C. Solve the nth term of arithmetic sequence involving real life situations.
4. A stack of bricks has 61 bricks in the bottom layer, 58 bricks in the 2 nd layer,
55 bricks in the 3rd layer and 10 bricks in the last layer. How many bricks are
there in the 11th layer?
5. The seats in a theater are arranged so that there are 70 seats in the 1st row,
72 seats in the 2nd row and so on for 30 rows altogether. How many seats are
there in the last row?

V. ASSIGNMENT/ AGREEMENT
For your home delight, 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.
