 OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
• Apply the Frayer model to differentiate arithmetic sequence to
geometric sequence.
• Solve problems involving sequences.
• Show dedication and perseverance in solving real – life models
involving concepts of arithmetic and geometric sequences.
• Insert the table
 WARM-UP

Determine if the given sequence is arithmetic or

geometric. Answer AS if it is arithmetic and GS if
geometric.
1. 4, 8, , 16, 32, . . .
2. 1, -1/2, 1/4, -1/8, 1/16, . . .
3. 1/3, 2/3, 3/3, 4/3, 5/3, . . .
FRAYER MODEL

Process question:
If you are to compare and
contrast geometric with
arithmetic sequences, what
would those similar and
differing characteristics be?

Question: Given the general term, determine the sequence
if arithmetic, geometric, or neither. If arithmetic find the
common difference; if geometric, find the common ratio.

 SCAFFOLD # 2: SOLVING
Read and analyze question carefully and solve.
1. A theater has 30 seats in the first row, 32 seats in the second row,
increasing by two seats each row for a total of 26 rows. How many seat
are there in a theater?
 SCAFFOLD # 2: SOLVING
Read and analyze question carefully and solve.
2. A population of 5000 fruit files is dying off at a rate of 4% per minute.
How many files will still be alive after 12 minutes?
 SCAFFOLD # 3: SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
Read and analyze the given situation and answer the given questions.
1. Anna wants to buy a gift for her younger sister. The item she has in
mind is Php 800.00, but she only has Php 290.00. Her aunt asks Anna
to help her cousin with 10 – item homework. She will get Php 0.50
reward on the first item, Php 1.00 on the second item, Php 2.00 on the
third item, and so on.
a. What is the total amount that Anna will receive for the 10 items?
b. Will this allow Anna to earn the money shed needs to buy the gift?
 TOGETHER LET’S REFLECT

• This section covered a lot of concepts related to

arithmetic and geometric sequences. If you were
tasked to summarize the important points and
share it with your classmates, what will those
summary items include?
