( check all your microphone if it is connections
functioning, your connection)
arrange your chair, sit properly,
listen carefully, and participate.  Yes sir
 Is that clear?

2. Drill  We’re doing good sir

 How is your day class? I hope you
do good  The answer of the students are.
 Have you read or browse in the (Some are saying yes, and some saying no.)
internet about our lesson?
 Okay that’s good that some of you
 is ready in our lesson.

3. Review
 I know that when you are in grade
school you already learned about  Yes sir
sequence. Right?
 Ericka what is sequence?
 Sir, Sequence is a list of things (usually
 Can someone give me an example numbers) that are in order.
of sequence?  *students will be volunteer their self to give
 Yes, Ma. Angelica, please stand up some example.
 Okay, very good! Another one?  Sir, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
 Yes, Desserie
 Okay, very good! seems like you  Sir, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
are ready in our topic

4. Motivation
 So, before we go on to our main
topic, can you please think an
example of sequence? At least 5.
Write it on your paper.
 I’ll give you 5mins to do that, then (whole class will start to do their work)
share what you list to your  Yes, Sir!
classmate.
 Okay class you may start now.
 Okay class time is up, share it now
to your classmates. And we will
check that after while we are
discussing about it.

B. Presentation

 So our topic for today is about Arithmetic

Sequence, it is divide this lesson into 3 parts;
Arithmetic sequence, Arithmetic mean, and
Arithmetic series
 Arithmetic sequence is also called an Arithmetic
progression
 , I have here some pictures that I will show and
tell me how it is related to our topic, which is
arithmetic sequence

 The billiard ball sir, it is related to out topic

 Okay Jinky, choose one and tell how it become because as can we see in the picture the
 related to our topic? arrangement of billiard ball has a pattern with
is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

 Okay, very good Ms. Jinky, thank you

 The guitar string sir, because it string consist
 Last one? of number which is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
 Yes, Sonny?

 Okay thank you Mr. Sonny

 Let us proceed to our main topic, so take a look at

this example; 4, 11, 18, 25

 They have a same number that we need to add to

get the next term, in this case we need to subtract
the two consecutive terms like this,
11 – 4 = 7
18- 11 = 7
25 – 18 = 7

 This fix number which is 7 is called the common

difference (d ), and the formula to get the
common difference is,
d = a2 – a1
or it can be a3 – a2, a4 – a3 etc….  These are the 4, 11, 18, 25 which is 4 is a1. 11
 So what is a1, a2, … in our example? is our a2 and soon sir.
 Yes Mr. Romero
 Okay very good  *Student will answer in chorus*
 So like what Mr. Romero said our an is the given Yes Sir
sequence
 Have you get it class?

 Let us proceed so what if I ask you what is the

13th term of the sequence?

- So to get the nth term of an arithmetic

sequence we are going to use this formula;
an = a1 + (n - 1) d
where: a1 is the first term
an and n is the last term  13, sir
d is the common difference  4, sir
 7, sir
What is our last term?
What about our first term?
 And what is the common difference?
- So let us substitute the formula where,
- a13 = 4 + (13 – 1) 7
= 4 + (12 )( 7 )
= 4 + 84
= 88
- Our 13th term is 88.
Let us check it out add 7 in every next term until we
got the 13th term which is 88
4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53, 60, 67, 74, 81, 88

This is our 13th term, same as what we got using

the formula an = a1 + (n - 1) d

 In solving or computing the nth term of the

arithmetic sequence we need to identify first the
common difference, but what if the common
difference is missing or the term we need to find is
the term between the two nonconsecutive term of
arithmetic sequence, this is what we call the
arithmetic means, like this examples
1. Find the arithmetic means between 5 and 19.
- Since the mean is the average, in this case we
only need to add the two number and divide it
by two
a 1+ a 3
a2 =
2
5+19
=
2
24
=
2
= 12
- Let us now check using this formula an = a1 +
(n - 1) d, let us find the common difference
- an = a1 + (n - 1) d

- 19 = 5 + (3 – 1) d

- Transpose the 5, that is 19 - 5 = (3 – 1) d  Not totally sir

- 14 = 2d, divide both side by 2
14 2 d
- =
2 2
- 7=d
The common difference s 7 so we can add 7  Sir the formula we use in example no. 1
in our two nonconsecutive term 5 + 7= 12 an = a1 + (n - 1) d
- 5, 12, 19
 Have you get it class?
 Okay another example insert four arithmetic means
between 3 & 12.
- 3, __ , __ , __ , __ , 12
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6
 What formula are we going to use?
 Yes Lyca?
 Okay very good
- Like what we did in number one we will also
use the formula an = a1 + (n - 1) d like what
Ms. Lyca said.
- Substitute the formula
- 12 = 3 + (6 - 1) d, gain transpose the a1
- 12 – 3 = 5d
- 9 = 5d, divide both side into 5
9 5d
- =
5 5
9
- =d
5
9
 Now to find the preceding terms we need to add
5
and 3 and to the next term until we got the value of  Yes sir
four terms
 Again the missing terms are a2, a3, a4, a5.
9 24
 - a2 = 3 + =
5 5
24 9 33
- a3 = + =
5 5 5
33 9 42
- a4 = + =
5 5 5
42 9 51
- a5 = + =
5 5 5
 Now we can write the final answer,
24 33 42 51
 3, , , , , 12
5 5 5 5
 So this is the arithmetic means.
 Did you get it now class?
 Class don’t hesitate to ask a question if you has
okay.
 Let us now proceed to the last part of our lesson
which is Arithmetic Series
 Maybe you are familiar to this question,
What is the sum of the 100 counting numbers
1 + 2 + 3 +… + 98 + 99 + 100
 So find the sum. To find this we need to add first
the firstterm and the last term (1 + 100) and this is
equal to 101, next second term and the second to
 the last term ( 2 + 99) which is equal also to 101,
next is third term and third to the last term ( 3 +
98) that is equal to 10
 Some of the student understand it but some are
101 not*

1 + 2 + 3 +… + 98 + 99 + 100
101
101

 Notice that the sum of each pair is 101

 Sir the sum of the first 150 counting number is
So, 101(how many pair do we have)
11,325
101 (50)= 5050, so the sum of the first counting
numbers is 5050
 Let us check this one by using our arithmetic series
a +a
formula which is, Sn =( 1 n )n
2
- S100 = ( 1+100
2 ) 100

- = ( )
101
2
100

- =( 50.5 ) 100
- S100 = 5050
 Did you get it class?  Yes sir
 I will give you another example
- What is the sum of the first 150 counting
numbers
- 1 + 2 + 3+ … 148 + 149 +150
- We will going to use the formula Sn =
a +a
( 1 n )n
2
 Daisy may you please answer this problem?

 okay thank you Ms. Daisy

 I know that some of you still wondering how it

become 11, 325.

 Let me show you how it is happen by using our

formula for arithmetic series,
- S150 = (
1+150
2 )
150

- =
2( )
151
150

- =( 75.5 ) 150
 - S150 = 11, 325
 I hope that all of you understand the lesson

Again under the arithmetic sequence we have the

formula;
Common difference d = a2 – a1
Finding terms an = a1 + (n - 1) d
a +a
Arithmetic Mean an = 1 3
2
a1 +a n
Arithmetic Series Sn =( )n

C. Generatization
 So class have you understand our lesson for  Yes sir
today?

 So if you realy understand it may you please
