Present a story:
Mrs. Perez has 3 healthy boys kids. They named EJ, Franz and Jude whose ages is 4 years
gap. If EJ was the eldest and born last 1998, and Jude as the youngest and born last 2006,
how old is Franz now?
Presentation
25 minutes ACTIVITY (Checking of Assignment DLP No. 3)

In a group of 3 members, supply the missing terms of the arithmetic sequence below and the
first group who can finish first with the correct answer earn additional points recorded in their
index card.

1. 17, 14, ___, ___, 5

2. -2, 4, ___, ___, 22
3. 13, ___, ___, 1, -3

ANALYSIS

1. How did you find the activity?

2. Were you able to get the missing terms in each sequence? How? (by using the rule
and the Short Cut Method)
 Using the Rule, an =a1 +(n−1 )d in no. 1
5=17+(5−1 )d
5=17+4 d
5−17=4 d
−12=4d
−3=d
d=−3
So the sequence is 17, 14, 11, 8, 5
 Using the Short Cut Method,
5-17 = -12, subtracting the last term by the first term
5-1 = 4 , subtracting the position of terms both 5 and 17
-12 ÷ 4 = -3, the common difference
 ABSTRACTION

Consider this problem,

1. What are the three terms between 2 and 34 of an arithmetic sequence?
By using the Short Cut Method,
34 - 2 = 32, subtracting the last term by the first term
5 – 1 = 4, subtracting the position of terms both 34 and 2
32 ÷ 4 = 8
Therefore, the three terms between 2 and 34 are 10, 18, and 26.

How do you find arithmetic means?

Practice Think-Pair-Share
8 minutes
Let the students find a partner. Let each partner answer the following:

Insert the indicated number of arithmetic means between the given first and last terms of an
arithmetic sequence. (taken from WS 3.0, page 5, letter D nos. 1-3)

1. [1]

2. [6]

3. [3]

5. Assessment (indicate whether it is thru Observation and/ or Talking/conferencing to

learners and/or Analysis of Learner’s Products and/or Tests)
Insert the indicated number of arithmetic means between the given first and last terms of an
arithmetic sequence.
Written Test
16 minutes 1. 27 and -3 [1]
2. 8 and 18 [4]
3. -7 and 2 [2]
6. Assignment (indicate whether it is for Reinforcement and/or Enrichment and/or
Enhancement of the day’s lesson or Preparation for a new lesson)
Enhancement
