OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this session, you will be able to:

• define sequence, finite and infinite sequence;

• Generate pattern from a given succession of
objects, numbers, letters, or symbols;
• list the next few terms given several consecutive
terms of a sequence ; and
• derive a mathematical expression(rule) for generating
the sequence by pattern searching.
Activity:
Things that I can PUT
inside my pocket!!!
 I’m Ma’am Ma.
Lourdes B. Mangahas,
your teacher in
Mathematics 10
 I can PUT Money
inside my pocket; I
can also put Mango
inside my pocket.
What about you,
what are things
that you can PUT
inside your pocket?
What have you notice
on the things that you
can put inside your
pocket?

for today?

SEQUENCE
 Sequence is a
function whose domain
is finite and infinite set
What is finite sequence?

It has specific or exact

number of terms.
What is infinite sequence?

It has unlimited number

of terms.
Identify which of the sequence
are finite or infinite.
1. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

2. 12, 24, 36, 48, …

 Each number in a
sequence is called a TERM

1. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
 Find the 1 5 terms of the
st

sequence given the nth term.

2. an = 2n - 1
Therefore, the first 5 terms of :
an = 2n - 1
