presenting the new

lesson Note to the Teacher:
 Divide the class into yourdesired groups.
 Provide each group with worksheets
 Out of the worksheets, let each group find the
sum of the terms in each finite set:
1. 1,4,7,10,13,17
(expected answer: 52)
2. 3,5,7,9,11,13
(expected answer: 48)
3. 10,5,0,- 5, - 10, - 15

(expected answer: 231)
 Process all groups’ answers.
B. Establishing a
purpose for the Answer the following questions:
lesson
1. How did you find the activity?
(expectedanswer: easy)
2.What if you will be tasked to give the sum of the
first 32nd terms for each item above?

Note:Another important feature of an arithmetic

sequence is finding the sum of its terms. Lead the
students tothe importance of “finding the sum of the
terms of an arithmetic sequence”

C. Presenting examples ACTIVITY: Finding the Sum of the Terms of an

of the new lesson Arithmetic Sequence

Use the samegroupings:

Given the following information of an arithmetic

sequence, find its sum:
1. Group 1 – a1 = 2; d = 4; n = 7
(expected answer:98)
2. Group 2 – a1 = 3; d = ½; n = 7
(expected answer: 22 ½)

#1 each group used is accepted. (Refer to theWorksheet
above)

E. Discussing new
concepts and In this lesson, you will learn how to find the sum of
practicing new skills the first n terms in an arithmetic sequence. You will
#2 also learn how to apply that process in your daily
life. Let’s study and analyze the situation below:

Jaine-Anne noticed that when she changed the brand

of soft drinks she was selling, her number of
customers increased every day.
Shown in the table below is a list of the number of
bottles of softdrinksJaine-Anne sold from Monday to
Saturday

Day Number of Bottles

1 20
2 70
3 120
4 170
5 220
6 270

1. How many bottles of softdrinks will Jaine-

Anne sell in 6 days?
(expected answer:

20+70+120+170+220+270=870)
2. Do the numbers in the series have a common
difference? What is it?
(expected answer: yes 50)
3. What is the first term? the last term?
(expected answer:
20 and 270 respectively)
4. Suppose we substitute the given values in the
formula below and solve for the answer, do
you think we will arrive at the same answer?

Content: Finding the Sumof the Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence

DISCUSSIONS:

In this lesson, you will learn how to find the sum of the first n terms of an
arithmetic sequence. You will also learn how to apply the process in your daily
life.

An arithmetic series is the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence.

Example:

20 + 70 = 90
90 is the sum of the first two terms.

20 + 70 + 120 = 210
210 is the sum of the first three terms.

20 + 70 + 120 + 170 = 380

380 is the sum of the first four terms.

20 + 70 + 120 + 170 + 220 = 600

600 is the sum f the first five terms.

20 + 70 + 120 + 170 + 220 + 270 = 870

870 is the sum of the first six terms.

In the example above, 90, 210, 380, 600, 870 is an example of an arithmetic
series.

The equation below can be used in computing for the sum of the first n terms of
an arithmetic sequence:

n
Sn = [2a1 + (n – 1)d]
2

where: n = number of terms

a1 = first term
an=nth term
d = common difference
