INTRODUCTION OF THE LESSON:

This weekly module covers the key concepts of generating patterns and sequences which include the arithmetic
sequence. The students will use their prior knowledge and skills to learn and understand the basic ideas of sequences and
distinguish their types. They are also given enough activities to process the knowledge and skills learned and further
deepen and transfer their understanding of the lessons.

Activity 2: What’s Next? (Formative)

After doing the previous activity, the learners will work with patterns. Recognizing and extending patterns are important
skills needed for learning concepts related to generating a sequence.
In 3 minutes, Each item below shows a pattern. Answer the given questions.

FIRM-UP

After they answer their previous activities, they are able to read and understand the key concepts about patterns and
sequences, number sequences, finite and infinite sequences, their definition and its illustrative examples

Listening Activity - Access and Process!

To firm up these lessons, the learners will be able to watch the following video presentation about patterns and sequences
by following given links

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES

Example 1.a: Find the next two terms of the given sequence 5,8,11,14,…
Example 1.b: Find the next three terms of the given sequence 15, 7,-1,-9,…
Example 1.c: Find the next four terms of the given sequence 7, 14, 28, 56, …
Example 1.d: Find the next three terms of the given sequence 24, -12, 6, -3, …

Example 2: List all the indicated terms of each finite sequence.

a. The first four terms of an = 3n2 -1
1
b. The first five terms of an =
n+1

1
Example 3: Find the 7th term and the 10th term of the sequence when the nth term is given by: an =
(n + 1)(n + 2)

Example 4: What is the 9th term of the sequence when the nth term is given by:
n(n+1)
a. an = n2 + 2n – 1 b. an =
2
PRACTICE EXERCISES 1 (Formative)
After they learned some illustrative examples regarding to generate patterns and sequences, they will be able to answer
some exercises to develop and enhance their skills in solving.
A. Find the next two terms of each sequence (4 items)
B. List all the indicated terms of each finite sequence (2 items)
C. Find the indicated term in each of the following sequences (3 items)
