4As LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 10 - QUARTER 1

September 14, 2023

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)
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. Topic Arithmetic Sequence
B. Subtopic Computing Arithmetic Means
C. References BIBLIOGRAPHY Ballatong, E. N. (2019). Alternative Delivery Mode-
Quarter I – Module 3: Arithmetic Means and 𝒏th term of an Arithmetic
Sequence. Department of Education – Cordillera Administrative Region.
D. Subject Integration Vocabulary of unfamiliar terms
E. Materials power point presentation, television
F. Values Focus Promotes collaboration with peers.
III. PROCEDURE
A. Routinary Activities Prayer, Checking of Attendance, Collection of Assignment,
House rules
B. Preparatory Activities Drill, Review, Motivation
C. Lesson Proper
1. Activity Let’s Try This!
A. What is the arithmetic mean between 10 and 24?
B. What is the arithmetic mean between 5 and 17?
C. What is the arithmetic mean between 21 and 29?
D. Insert the missing terms: 3, 7, 11, __ , __ , __, 27
E. Insert three arithmetic means between 8 and 16.
2. Analysis Observe these:
A. Insert the missing terms: 3, 7, 11, __ , __ , __, 27
Guide Questions:
 Can you supply the missing terms?
 How did you get the missing terms?
 What is the common difference of the sequence?
B. Insert three arithmetic means between 8 and 16.
8, _____, _____, _____, 16
Guide Questions:
 Can you supply the missing terms?
 What do we need to get the missing terms?
 What is the common difference of the sequence?
 Can we get the difference of sequence?
 How can we get the common difference of the sequence?
3. Abstraction Example:
A. In the sequence: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24; what is it’s
arithmetic means.
Solution:
a. The arithmetic mean is a term between the
first term and the last term.
b. Thus, 8, 12, 16, and 20 are the arithmetic
means of the sequence because these terms are between 4 and
24, which are the first and last term, respectively.

The first and last terms of a finite arithmetic sequences are

called arithmetic extremes, and the terms in between are
called arithmetic means.
 B. Insert three arithmetic means between 8 and 16.
8, _____, _____, _____, 16

The formula for, d can be used to find the arithmetic means

if more than one arithmetic means will be inserted between two
arithmetic extremes.

4. Application Find the missing terms of the following sequence.

1. 16, ___, ___, ___, 32
2. ___, 9, ___, ___, 36
IV. ASSESSMENT Direction: Find the specified nth term of each arithmetic
sequence.
___________ 1. 5, 11, 17, …; 9th term
___________ 2. 26, 22, 18, …; 40th term
V. ASSIGNMENT Direction: On your Assignment Notebook answer the following
and study in advance:
1. Find the sum of the first 20 natural numbers.
2. Find the sum of all the terms of the sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20,
…, 50.
