 A. Preparation
1. Preparatory Activity
May I request everyone to please
stand and lead the prayer, Jane.
Good morning, students. Are you Good morning ma’am!
feeling good today? Yes ma’am!
I hope you are because today we will
learn a new concept in Mathematics 10.
2. Classroom Management
Before anything else, can you please
arrange your chairs properly and pick up (Do as told)
some pieces of papers.
Okay, take your seat.
As we go on let us not forget this class
rules.
1. Listen when someone is talking.
2. Raise your right hand if you have
question or if you want to answer.
Is that clear? Yes ma’am!
3. Checking of Attendance
Class secretary is there any absentees
for today? No ma’am!
Very good! Perfect attendance.
4. Review
Before we proceed, let us have some
review. I’ll be flashing a picture on the TV
screen. Then, kindly look and examine
carefully at the sequence of symbols. Finally,
find the next figure that satisfies the pattern.
Choices are given. Raise your right hand if
you want to answer.
Are the instructions clear? Yes ma’am!
Okay! Let us start!

 Now, I will be giving you cards to be
used later. Kindly get 1 and pass.
For now, let us put our attention here
at this beautiful flower.
What have you observed?
What about the petals in this flower? I observed that there are a lot of petals.
Very good! As you can see, the petals It has a pattern.
in this flower has a pattern. From here, at the
center of this flower the petals are smaller in
size compared to the outer petals, which
indicates pattern.
Is everything clear?
Now I have here some pictures flash Yes ma’am!
in the screen. I’ll be calling someone from the
class to answer through the given cards a
while ago.
Are you ready?
Instructions: Identify if each picture below shows Yes ma’am!
a pattern or not. If there is a pattern, put a check
mark (✓), and identify it, otherwise put a cross
mark (x).
Okay, first picture.

With patterns ( ) Green, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow,

Very good. Next.

With patterns ( ) 4, 6, 8

Great. Next.
With patterns ( ) Close, Open, Close, Open
That’s right. Next.

With patterns ( ) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Excellent.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
By doing the previous activity, what do you
think is our lesson for today?
Sequence
Very good!
Okay. Now, before we proceed let’s have first
our objectives. Kindly read. At the end of the lesson, students must be able
to:
A. generate and describe patterns
B. differentiate finite and infinite sequence;
and
C. value accumulated knowledge as means
Now, let us define what sequence is. of new understanding
Sequence is a logical order or arrangement
of values defined by a general term or nth
term. The general term of a sequence
defines the characteristic of the whole
sequence. Every element in a sequence is (Student’s listen carefully)
called a term.
Examples:

[Type here]
 1. Set of counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, . . .
2. Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35,
42, . . .
3.Powers of 2: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, . . .
4. Multiples of 5 between 11 and 60:
15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55
There are two types of sequence. The finite
and infinite sequence.

Finite sequence is a sequence that contains a

finite number of terms. It will always end or
terminate. Example are the days of the week,
alphabet, and months in a year.

Infinite sequence is a sequence that contains

infinitely many terms. It will never end.
Example are the counting numbers, and every
other day.
Am I clear? Yes ma’am!

2. Activity
Now, Let’s have an activity. Prepare ¼
sheet of paper and answer the following. This
activity is by pair, so answer this with your
seatmate. Answer this for 5 minutes and I’ll
be calling cards to answer.
A. Think Pair Share (Do as told)
Directions: Study the following patterns then
supply the missing term to complete the sequence.
1. Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sept, ___, ____
2. 5, 8, 11, 14, ___, 20, ___...
3. 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2, ___, 7/2, 4, ___,…
4. 3, 6, ___, 12,15, ___ …
5. 1, 2, 4, 8, ___, 32, 64, 108, ___
B. What Am I?
Directions: Study the following patterns and
identify either its finite sequence or infinite
sequence.
6. Days of the week
7. Months of the year
8. Every other day
9. Alphabet
10. Yesterday
Time’s up! Now check your own papers.
Honesty is the best policy.
Number 1 pair of card 3 of hearts 1. Nov, Jan 6. Finite
Number 2 pair of card 1 of spades 2. 17, 23 7. Finite
Number 3 pair of card 2 of diamond 3. 3, 9/2 8.Infinite
Number 4 pair of card 6 of spade 4. 9, 18 9. Finite
Number 5 pair of card 4 of hearts 5. 16, 216 10. Infinite
Very good! All the answers are correct. Give
a round of applause for everyone. (Do as told)
3. Analysis
From the activity what pattern is shown in As I have observed from the activity I see that
item 1-5? number 1 has a pattern of skipping one
month, while numbers 2 and 4 have the same
pattern of adding 3, and number 5 has a

[Type here]
 pattern of multiple of 2.
Very good!
Each of the item have the different pattern
except numbers 2 and 4.
4. Abstraction
Now, Let us generalize our topic for today. Sequence is a logical order or arrangement of
What is sequence? Okay card number 7 club values defined by a general term or nth term.
The general term of a sequence defines the
characteristic of the whole sequence. Every
element in a sequence is called a term.

Very good!
How about finite sequence? Finite sequence is a sequence that contains a
finite number of terms. It will always end or
terminate. Example are the days of the week,
alphabet, and months in a year.

That’s right!
How about infinite sequence? Infinite sequence is a sequence that contains
infinitely many terms. It will never end.
Example are the counting numbers, and every
other day.
Exactly!
What is the difference between finite and Finite sequence always end or terminate
infinite sequence? while infinite sequence never end.

How can we apply sequence in our life? Sequence helps us organize thoughts and
establish order to or lives.
5. Application
Answer the following problems.
1. The table below shows the cost of renting the
Cavite Hall at Island Cove Resort and Leisure Park
in Kawit, Cavite depending on the number of
attendees.

Jose booked the hall for a birthday party for 40

persons. How much will he pay? 7400

That’s right!
IV. EVALUATION
A. Study the following patterns then supply the missing term to complete the sequence.
1. 2, 4, 7, 11, ____
2. 7, 9, 11, ____, ____, 17, 19
3. 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, ____
4. 5, 10, 7, 14, 11, 22, 19, _____
5. 5, 10, 15, 20, ____, 30, 35
