(M10AL-IA-1)

I. OBJECTIVES
Knowledge:  Generates and describes
patterns using symbols and
mathematical expressions.
Skill:  Finds the next few terms of a
sequence.
Attitude:  Demonstrates cooperation in
the given activity.
Lesson of the day:
Each item below shows a pattern. Answer the given questions.
 

1. What is the next shape?

2. What is the next number?
What is the 10th number?
 
0 , 4 , 8 , 12 , 16 , _____
3. What is the next number?
What is the 8th number?
 
9, 4, -1, -6, -11, ______
The set of shapes and the sets of numbers in the above
activity are called sequences.
 
A sequence maybe generated from shapes, patterns, or
rules. Each number in sequence is called a term. Each
term is identified by its position in the ordered list. The
terms are usually denoted by a1, a2, a3,…or t1,t2, t3, ….
Activity: Individual or Group Activity

Find the next term in each sequence.

1. 17, 22, 27, 32, …

1 1 1 1
2. , , , …
2 5 8 11

3. 5, 10, 20, 40,…

4. 3, -3, 3, -3,…
Under a normal condition, a newborn pair of
rabbits that are put in a field produces no
offspring during the first month. At the end
of the second month, the female rabbit
produces a new pair of rabbit in the field. If
a female rabbit always produces one pair
every month from the second on, how many
pair of rabbits will there be at the end of one
year?
 How do you find the next few terms of a sequence?
(Given at least the first 3 terms of a sequence, you can easily find
the next term in that sequence by simply discovering a pattern as to
how the 3rd term is derived from the 2nd term, and the 2nd from the 1st
term. You will find that either a constant number is added or
subtracted or multiplied or divided to get the next term or a certain
series of operations is performed to get the next term. This may
seem hard at first but with practice and patience in getting them,
you will find that it’s very exciting.)
