Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics 6

November 29, 2017


Third Quarter
I.OBJECTIVES
1. demonstrates understanding of sequence in forming rules, expressions and equations.
2. apply knowledge of sequence, expressions, and equations in mathematical problems and real-life
situations.
Learning Competencies
formulates the rule in finding the nth term using different strategies (looking for a pattern,
guessing and checking, working backwards) e.g. 4,7,13,16,n (the nth term is 3n+1) M6AL-IIId-7
II.SUBJECT MATTER
Patterns and Algebra

III. LEARNING RESOURCES


A. References:
Materials: Power point presentation

IV. PROCEDURES

A. Review
Drill: Have the pupils skip count by 4, by 6, by 7 and by 9.
Present the ff. sequences and let the pupils give the 7th term in each.
1.5,12,19,26, .
2.2,10,18,26,
3. 2,10,50,250,
4. 305,296,287,278,
5. 6,21,36,51, ..

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson/ Motivation


Draw the next two patterns

C. Presentation of the new lesson


Group Activity:
4, 10, 16, 22, 28
Write down the next two terms of the sequence.
b) Write down an expression for the nth term of this sequence.
c) Work out the 50th term of the sequence.
Solution
a) From looking at the sequence we can see that each term is 6 larger than the previous term. We say the
term-to-term rule is "add 6". Therefore the next two terms are 34 and 40.
b) The nth term of a sequence is always written in the form "?n + ?".
The number in front of the "n" is always the difference to get from one term to the next. Since the
difference is 6, the first part of our rule will be "6n". The rule follows the six times table: 6, 12, 18, 24... etc.
Now compare the 6 times table with our rule:

1
6 x table 6 12 24 30
8
Sequence 4 10 16 22 28
The numbers in the sequence are always 2 less than the 6 times table so we "adjust" our rule by
subtracting 2. Now putting this together gives us:
nth term = 6n - 2.
c) Now we know the nth term = 6n - 2 we just need to substitute n = 50 in order to find the 50 thterm of
the sequence.
th
So: The 50 term = 6 x 50 - 2
= 300 - 2
= 298

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills


Show a video on how to formulate the rule in finding the nth term using different strategies.
Writing a Formula from a Sequence

E. Developing Mastery
Group Activity: Finding the nth term.
In each question there are four terms of a sequence of numbers:
a) Write down the rule using n to represent the nth term.
b) Find the 10th and 15th terms.
F. Application
Group Activity: Distribute this activity sheet to each group:

Answers:

G. Generalization
Lead the pupils to give the following generalization by asking:
How do we find / formulate the rules in finding the next term in a sequence?
Ans:
Determine the order of numbers if it is ascending or descending.
Find the difference between the consecutive terms.
To find the rule of the next term, use the difference between terms.
Example:

H. Evaluation
Write down the next term for each of the ff. sequences, then find the rule.
