III. Abstraction

REMEMBER
Pattern is a set of numbers or objects in which all the members
are related with each other with specific rule.
A sequence is a finite/infinite list of terms (or numbers) arranged in
a definite order, that is, there is a rule by which each term after the first
may be found.

IV. Application
Directions: Solve the following problems.

1. A gardener buys a plant that is 12cm in height. Each week after that, the
plant grows 10cm. What will be the height of the plant at the beginning of
the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th week, if it follows the same pattern?
2. Allysa wants to save money for the computer she intends to buy. At the
end of the first week she saved Php200. Then at the end of the second
week she saved Php300. At the end of the third week she saved Php400,
then Php500 at the end of the fourth week.
a. If Allysa saved her money, how much would she saved at the end of
the 15th week?

IV. Closure

What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It
is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of
your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.
