IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing or ACTIVITY: Guess My Rule
presenting the new
lesson Note to the Teacher:
The teacher will show strips with four or five numbers
written in a sequence.
Example:
a. 1, 3, 5, 7, ……
b. 1, 4, 7, 10, ……
The teacher may ask the students what number comes
next. Usually a student will correctly guess.
Example:
a. 1, 3, 5, 7, …… (expected answer: 9)
b. 1, 4, 7, 10, ….. (expected answer: 13)
Ask for the next number in the sequence of example a.
Ask the student who answered how she or he knew
that was correct. Students will offer explanations such
as “You’re skipping a number every time”. If they
don’t bring it up themselves, point out that these are
odd numbers
Do the same for Example B.
Ask the students to explain the pattern.
B. Establishing a Note:
purpose for the lesson The teacher may state this:
It is a common experience to be confronted with a set of
numbers arranged in some order. The order and
arrangement may be given to you or you have to discover
a rule for it from some data.
For example, the milkman comes every other day. He
came on July 17; will he come on Aug 12? Consider
that you are given the set of dates: 17, 19, 21, …
arranged from left to right in the order of increasing time.
Continuing the set, we have
July 17, 19, 21, …, 29, 31, August 2, 4, ….,28, 30…
so that the answer to our question is yes.
Any such ordered arrangement of a set of numbers

is called a SEQUENCE.
C. Presenting examples ACTIVITY: What’s Next
of the new lesson
Each item below shows a pattern. Answer the
given questions.
1. What is the next shape? (expected answer: )
, ,, , , _______
2. What is the next number? (expected answer: 20)
What is the 10th number? (expected answer: 36)
0, 4, 8, 12, 16, ____
3. What is the next number? (expected answer: -16)
What is the 8th number? (expected answer: -26)
9, 4, -1, -6, -11, ______
The set of shapes and the sets of numbers in the above
activity are called sequences.
A sequence maybe generated from shapes, patterns, or
rules. Each number in sequence is called a term. Each
term is identified by its position in the ordered list. The
terms are usually denoted by a1, a2, a3,…or t1,t2, t3, ….
D. Discussing new Discussion:
concepts and
practicing new skills Look at this example. Lorna, a 2nd year student in a certain
#1 public school, is able to save the money her ninongs and
ninangs gave her last Christmas. She then deposits her
savings of P1,000 in an account that earns 10% simple
interest. The total amount of interest she earned in each of
the first 4 years of her saving is shown below:
Year 1 2 3 4
Total amount 10 20 30 40
The list of numbers 10, 20, 30, 40 is called a
sequence. The list 10,20,30,40 is ordered because the
position in this list indicates the year in which that total
amount of interest is earned.
Now, each of the numbers of a sequence is called
a term of the sequence. The first term in the sequence 10,
20, 30, 40 is 10, the second term is 20, while the third
term is 30 and the fourth term is 40. It is also good to
point out that the preceding term of a given term is the

term immediately before that given term. For example, in
the given sequence 20 is the term that precedes 30.
E. Discussing new
concepts and Note: The teacher may discuss about sequence.
practicing new skills (Please refer to attachment: discussion)
#2 Ask the students to answer the following in pairs.
DIRECTION: Find the next two terms of each
sequence.
1. 4, 7, 10, 13, … (expected answer: 16, 19)
2. 15, 7, -1, -9, … (expected answer: -17, -25)
3. 7, 14, 28, 56, …. (expected answer: 112, 224)
3 3
4. 24, -12, 6, -3, …. (expected answer: , )
2 −4
F. Developing Mastery
Activity: Individual or Group Activity
Find the next term in each sequence.

1 1 1 1
, , ,
2. 2 5 8 11 …
3. 5, 10, 20, 40,…
4. 3, -3, 3, -3,…
Note: Refer to key answer for the solution and answer.
G. Finding practical Under a normal condition, a newborn pair of rabbits that
applications of are put in a field produces no offspring during the first
concepts and skills in month. At the end of the second month, the female rabbit
daily living produces a new pair of rabbit in the field. If a female
rabbit always produces one pair every month from the
second on, how many pair of rabbits will there be at the
end of one year?
H. Making Guide Questions for Generalization:
Generalizations and
abstractions about How do you find the next few terms of a sequence?
the lesson (Given at least the first 3 terms of a sequence, you can
easily find the next term in that sequence by simply
discovering a pattern as to how the 3rd term is derived
from the 2nd term, and the 2nd from the 1st term. You will
find that either a constant number is added or subtracted
or multiplied or divided to get the next term or a certain
series of operations is performed to get the next term.

patience in getting them, you will find that it’s very

DISCUSSIONS:
A sequence is a set of numbers written in a specific order:
a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6,………, an
The number a1 is called the 1st term, a2 is the 2nd term, and in general, an is
the nth term. Note that each term of the sequence is paired with a natural
number.
Given at least the first 3 terms of a sequence, you can easily find the next
term in that sequence by simply discovering a pattern as to how the 3 rd
term is derived from the 2nd term, and the 2nd from the 1st term. You will
find that either a constant number is added or subtracted or multiplied or
divided to get the next term or a certain series of operations is performed to
get the next term.

KEY ANSWER
Note: The answers are highlighted.
Developing Mastery Activity
Solutions:
1. Notice that 5 is added to 17 to get 22, the same is added to 22 to get 27, and the
same (5) is added to 27 to get 32. So, to get the next term add 5 to the preceding
term, that is, 32 + 5 = 37. The next term is 37.
2. Notice that 1 is the numerator of all the fractions in the sequence while the
denominators- 2, 5, 8, 11 form a sequence. 3 is added to 2 to get 5, 3 is also
added to 5 to get 8. So that 3 is added to 11 to get 14. The next term is therefore
1/14.
3. For this example, 2 is multiplied to 5 to get 10, 2 is multiplied to 10 to get 20 and
2 is also multiplied to 20 to get 40. So, the next term is 80, the result of
multiplying 40 by 2.
4. It is easy to just say that the next term is 3 since the terms in the sequence is
alternately positive and negative 3. Actually, the first, second, and third terms
were multiplied by -1 to get the second, third and fourth terms respectively.
