Activity 2: Summing up (Formative)

This activity that serve as drill and practice What is the sum of the terms of each finite sequence below?
1. 4, 7, 10, 13
2. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
3. 11, 7, 3, -1, -5
4. 8, 14, 20, 26
Ask the students to make a generalization from the above activity

Activity 3: The Secrets of Karl (Formative)

Let the learners investigate the derivation of the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence in this activity through
“Think-Pair-Share.” Give learners enough time to think about the problem, then tell them to look for a partner to discuss
or share their quick solution to the problem. After the sharing, tell each pair to answer the given questions in the activity.

To determine the answer to the given problem, you may answer the following questions below:
1. What is the sum of each of the pairs 1 and 100, 2 and 99,
3 and 98... 50 and 51?
2. How many pairs are there in Question 1?
3. From your answers in #1 and #2, how do you get the sum
of the integers from 1 to 100?
4. What is the sum of the integers from 1 to 100?
