III. LEARNING STRATEGIES

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

A. PRELIMINARIES

1. Prayer
Class let us all stand and feel the presence of
the Lord.

Alexander, please lead the prayer. : Everybody will recite the Lord’s Prayer.

2. GREETINGS

Good morning class!

3. CLASSROOM SET-UP : Good morning, Ma’am!

Before you take your seat, please arrange your

chairs, and pick those scattered pieces of : (students will arrange their chairs and pick those
plastic and paper under your chair. scattered pieces of plastic and paper under their
chair)
4. CHECKING OF ATTENDANCE
Gerald, who is absent today?
That is good to hear!
: None, Ma’am!
 5. REVIEW/INTRODUCTION

To introduce the sequencing lesson and gain

students' attention, the teacher can tell a silly
"out of order" story about his/her day. For
example: "This morning, I woke up and ate
dinner. Then, I put my pajamas on and went to
school. Next, I brushed my teeth played with
my friends". This can lead into a conversation
about the importance of putting events in
order.

How about you? : Students answers may vary.

B. MOTIVATION

Group Activity: With the use of QR Code

Scanner (Groups will depend on the sitting
arrangement)

a. Read the focus story, "The

Gingerbread Man". After reading the
story, let the students use the pre-
made story/picture cards to sequence
the events in the story.

b. Let me share you something, I learned

all about alchemy. Yes, you heard it
right, I am an alchemist. I have
travelled all along the Sahara Desert
to find for my treasure and finally, here
it is. I want to share you my treasure
but with one condition. Help me finish
a task so that we can be able to open
the treasure box. Do you want to help
me, class?
: Yes Ma’am!
Alright. I have here a matchstick, help
me answer what is flash on the screen
to complete our table so that we can
open our treasure box. Is that alright to
you, class?

Now let’s begin. : Yes Ma’am!

Number of 1 2 3 4 Number of 1 2 3 4

C. LESSON PROPER/DISCUSSION

Since we already complete the table, now we : (Representative of the class will open the
can open our treasure box. Any representative treasure.)
of the class may come at front and open it.
Now class, what phrase has revealed in our
: Arithmetic Sequence
treasure box?

That’s right! And that will be our focus for

today.

We have here the definition of Arithmetic : An Arithmetic Sequence is a sequence where

Sequence, who wants to read it? every term after the first is obtained by adding a
constant called the common difference.
: An= a1+ (n-1) d a1 is the first term
d is the common difference n is the number of
terms
An is the nth term

Is the meaning of arithmetic sequence clear to : Yes, Ma’am!

you, class?

For further understanding, let’s take a look to : The number of matchsticks increases by 3 as
the result of our activity a while ago. What do
we add another square.
you observe on the number of matchsticks?

Great Observation!

Suppose we want to find the number of

matchsticks of 20 squares. Do you think
we need to use the arithmetic formula? : Yes, ma’am.

Very good!
Now, let’s check from our table. We let 4 as a 1
which is the first term, n which is the number
of terms and subtracted by 1 to get the 1 and
we let 3 as d as the common difference.
Did you get it class? : Yes, ma’am.

Now, we can find already of how many

numbers of matchsticks in 20 squares. We will
now use the formula An= a1+ (n-1) d to find it.
Who wants to substitute our given in the
formula? Yes?
 : A20= 4 + (20-1)3
Commendable!
Who wants to solve it? Yes?
: A20 =4+(19)3
=4+ 57
Very good! =61

We can now conclude that we need 61

matchsticks to form 20 squares.
Did you get it, class?
: Yes, ma’am.
For further understanding, let’s have another
example. Will you read it? Yes? : What is the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence
5, 12, 19, 26, …?
Thank you!

Now, what is the first term of our sequence?

Yes? : 5, ma’am.
Very good!
Who wants to give me the common difference?
Yes?
: 7 ma’am.
Exactly!
Now, who wants to substitute this given in the : A = a + (n-1) d
n 1
formula? Yes?
A10=5 + (10-1) 7
Spectacular!

Now, who wants to solve on the board?

Yes? : A10= 5 +(9)7

= 5 + 54
= 59
Precisely!
And the value of 10th term in our sequence
is 59. Did you follow, class? : Yes, ma’am.

Seems like you already understand

on how to solve arithmetic sequence

1. Activity

To test if you understand our topic, let’s have

a game entitled “Answer Me”. Those who
wants to answer will raise their hands. And if
your answer is correct you will get a reward
after.
Now, I want you to get your cellphones : Students will get their cp’s and open the
and open your arithmetic sequence solver. arithmetic sequence solver app.
Okay! Are you ready?

Questions: : Yes, Ma’am.

1. In the arithmetic sequence

3,7,11,15,19, . . . What is the first term?
What is the common difference? What : First term – 3, common difference – 4, 25th term
is the 25th term of the sequence? – 97

2. Is the sequence 15, 17, 19, 21, . . .

consider an arithmetic sequence?
Yes or No? : Yes

3. If a1=1 and d=5, what is A4?

4. Is the sequence 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2,… : 16

consider arithmetic sequence? Yes
or no? What is the common
difference?
: Yes – ½
5. In the given sequence what are the
next terms? 5, 8, 11, 14, ____, 20,
___... : 17 & 23
2. Analysis

To promote Higher Order Thinking Skills

(HOTS) of the students the teacher will ask
some question.

Guide Questions:

1. How did you find the activity?

: Answers may vary.
2. Were you able to get the missing terms
in each sequence? How is each term
found?
: Yes, Ma’am. By using the formula of an
arithmetic sequence.
3. How can you apply sequence in daily
life?
: Answers may vary.

Based on the outcomes of your work, it

seems you learned a lot on our topic.

3. Abstraction
 1. What is an arithmetic sequence?

: An Arithmetic Sequence is a sequence where

every term after the first is obtained by adding a
constant called the common difference.

2. How do you find the next number in an

arithmetic sequence?
: An= a1+ (n-1) d
D. VALUES INTEGRATION

We have here a figure, what is your insight

about it? Yes?

Sequence of Relationship
God –You –Family : Love is the one to complete in every
Love Love relationship, without love, there is no any kind of
relationship.
That’s true!
We have here the sequence of relationship
which is God, You and Family and their
common difference is Love. Why Love? Love
is the strongest force, God created us
because he loves us, and we have a family
who cares us because they love us, so we
need to love them back as they love you with
all their heart.
