ENGAGE The teacher lets the students realize that recognizing the sum is one of the important skills needed to understand
the concepts of arithmetic sequences.
B. Establishing a
purpose of the lesson
The teacher lets the students investigate the derivation of the formula for the sum of an
arithmetic sequence by answering Activity 8 “The Secret of Karl” found on page16 of the
Learner’s Module through “Think –Pair-Share”

EXPLAIN The teacher should see to it that the students understand the formula in finding the sum of arithmetic sequence.
D. Developing Mastery
Think of a real situation in which the secret of KARL can be applied.

E. Finding practical
application of concepts
and skills in daily living
F. Making The teacher summarizes the mathematical skills or principles used to find the sum of arithmetic sequence by
giving examples and asking questions like:
generalizations and When to use the first formula?
abstractions of the lesson What are the necessary known terms in order that the second formula can be applied?
Answers shall be drawn from the students.
Possible response:
The first formula is used when the first term, the nth term, and the number of terms are known.
The second formula is used when the first term, the number of terms, and the common difference are
known.
Example:
Find S10 if:
Solution:
The subscript of S indicates the number of terms n.
= 365 = 5 (10-63)
= 5 - 53 = -265
The teacher lets the students answer individually the formative assessment.
