LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 10 QUARTER 1

I. OBJECTIVES
Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of
sequences, polynomials and polynomial equations.
Performance Standard The learner is able to formulate and solve problems involving
sequences, polynomials and polynomial equations in different
disciplines through appropriate and accurate representations.
Learning Objectives At the end of an hour of discussion, the Grade 10 students will
be able to illustrate an arithmetic sequence and determine
arithmetic means, nth term of an arithmetic sequence and sum
of the terms of a given arithmetic’s sequence. (M10AL-Ib-1)

C. Lesson Proper
1. Activity Observe the following sequences:
1. 4, 7, 10, 13, …
2. 33, 38, 43, 48, …
3. -2, -6, -10, -14, …
4. 100, 98, 96, 94, …

Guide questions:
 Can you give the next two terms of the above
sequences?
 How did you get those terms?
2. Analysis Find the common difference and the next three terms of each
arithmetic sequence.

Find the common difference and the next three terms of

each arithmetic sequence.
3, 8, 13, 18, …
 Guide Questions:
 What about if we are required to get the 100th term or
the 250th term?
 How are we supposed to do to get the desired nth
term?

3. Abstraction Arithmetic Sequence

- A sequence in which term after the first is formed by
adding a fixed number to the preceding term is called
arithmetic sequence. The fixed number or constant is
called the common difference denoted by 𝒅
- The nth term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a 1
and common difference d is given by:
a n = a 1 + d (n-1)
- where: a nis the term that corresponds to nth position,
a 1 is the first term, and d is the common difference.

Example:
Find the 21st term of the arithmetic sequence: 6, 9, 12, 15,
…
Solution:
a. From the sequence, 𝑎1 = 6 , d = 3, and n = 21.
b. Using the formula, substitute these values.
a 21 = 6 + 3 (21 – 1)
a 21 = 6 + 3 (20)
a 21= 6 + 60
a 21= 66
c. Thus, the 21st term is 66.
4. Application Find the specified nth term of each arithmetic sequence.
___________1. 2, 5, 8, …; 9th term
___________ 2. 3, 5 7, …; 20th term

IV. ASSESSMENT Find the specified nth term of each arithmetic sequence.
___________ 1. 5, 11, 17, …; 9th term
___________ 2. 26, 22, 18, …; 40th term
