The teacher asks the students to answer the activity below.
Activity 1: What is Next?
1. 4, 6, 8, ___
2. -3, -1, 1, ___

A. Review previous lesson or
presenting the new lesson
Questions:
1. How did you determine the next term?
2. Suppose you are ask to find the 10th term, how will you solve it?
Possible answers:
1. Adding a common difference to the previous term.
2. By adding each previous term with a common difference until we
reach the tenth term.

The teacher says:

B. Establishing a purpose for
There is another way of solving the tenth term of the sequence and this what we
the lesson
are going to discover today.

The teacher asks the students to recall the table of the matchsticks activity.
No. of 1 2 3 4 5 5 7 8 9 10
squares
No. of 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31
matchsticks
Let us take the number of matchsticks 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31
C. Presenting examples/ a1 =4
instances of the new a2 =7
lesson
a3 = 10
a4 =13
Aside from adding 3 to the preceding term to obtain the next term, a 4 can be obtained
by using the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.
The teacher explains the derivation of the nth term of arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + (n – 1) d
D. Discussing new concepts The teacher lets the students use the nth term of an arithmetic sequence with a
and practicing new skills #1 partner.
1. If a1 = 4 2. If a1=4
a2 = 7 a2 = 7
n=4 n = 10
d=3 d=3
What is a4? a10 = ?
Expected answer: Expected answer:
an = a1 + (n-1) d a n = a1 + (n-1) d
a4 = 4 + (4-1) 3 a 10 = 4 + (10 – 1)3
a4 = 4 +(3)3 a 10 = 4 + (9)3

E. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills #2
F. Developing mastery (leads
to formative assessment 3)
G. Finding practical
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living
H. Making generalizations and
abstractions about the
lesson
I. Evaluating Learning
J. Additional activities or
remediation

VI. REFLECTION
A. No. of learners who earned 80% of
the evaluation
a4 = 13 a 10 = 31
Can you compare now your answer using the nth term of arithmetic sequence
From those terms or number of matchsticks from the table?
Using the nth term of an arithmetic sequence a n = a1 + (n-1) d, the teacher lets them
solve for nth term of the following problems:
1.Find the 25th term of the arithmetic sequence 3,7,11,15, 19,…
2. Find the 9th term of the arithmetic with a1= 10 and d=-1/2
Guide questions:
a. How did you find solving for the nth term using this formula?
b. Who can now share his/her answer to the class?
Answer key:
1. 99
2. 6
The teacher elaborates farther:
The formula an =a1 +(n- 1) d, contains a n, a1, n and d. This does not mean that the
unknown would always be an, sometimes its a1, n or d. Take a look at the following
problems.
1.How many terms are in an arithmetic sequence whose first term is -3 ,common
difference is 2 and last term is 23?
2.Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence with a 1= -5, a4 =10 and a11=45.
3. Find the first term of the arithmetic sequence if the 8th term is 54 and the 9 th term is
60.
The teacher asks the following questions.
1. What is ask in problem 1? problem 2? problem 3?
2. How can we solve each of them?
3. With a partner, now solve each of them.
Possible answer:
1. In problem 1, n is unknown; in problem 2, d; in problem 3,a 1
2. By substituting the value of the given terms, then applying the addition/
subtraction properties of equality solve for the unknown term.
3. Problem1: n=14
Problem 2: d = 5
Problem 3: a1= 12
The teacher lets the students solve the problem below:
Give the arithmetic sequence of 5 terms if the first term is 8 and the last term is 100.
Answer key: needs to find d, d=23
8,31,54,77,100
The teacher lets the students recall the no littering campaign in school, where the
school sets a fine of Php30 for the 1 st littering offense and fine increases by Php5 for
each subsequent offense. How much will a student pay on his/her 4th littering offense?
Answer key: Php45
How do we solve problems involving arithmetic sequence?
The teacher says:
Read carefully and solve the following problems:
1.Cruz’s family offers a starting monthly salary of a “yaya” Php2,500 with an agreement
of Php100 increase every month. How much would be” yayas’ salary on the 6 th month?
2.The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 2 while the 18 th term is 87.Find the
common
difference of the sequence.
Answer key:
1. Php3000
2. 5
Assignment:
The second term of an arithmetic sequence is 24 and the 5 th term is 3. Find the first
term and the common difference.
Answer key:
d=-7; a1=31
