8,11,14,17,…,𝑎𝑛
The dots indicate not all numbers are written down explicitly. The last term is 𝑎𝑛 .
Question:
1. How will you find the last term? (answer varies)
2. Can you think of a rule to describe the terms in the sequence? (Yes)
The rule that describe the terms in the sequence that gives the nth term of the
sequence is called explicit formula. The pattern in a sequence may be expressed
E. Discussing new concepts by a formula.
and practicing new skills 3. What is the explicit formula of the sequence? (𝒂𝒏 = 𝟑𝒏 + 𝟓)
#2
Show how to generate the first five terms of the sequence 𝒂𝒏 = 𝒏 + 𝟔
𝒂𝟏 = (𝟏) + 𝟔 =7
𝒂𝟐 = (𝟐) + 𝟔 =8
𝒂𝟑 = (𝟑) + 𝟔 =9
𝒂𝟒 = (𝟒) + 𝟔 =10
𝒂𝟓 = (𝟓) + 𝟔 =11
Answer:
The sequence generated is 7,8,9,10,11 from 𝒂𝒏 = 𝒏 + 𝟔.

H. Making generalizations The rule that describe the terms in the sequence that gives the nth term
and abstractions about of the sequence is called explicit formula.
the lesson
Write the first five terms of the sequence with the given 𝑛th term formula.
1. 𝒂𝒏 = 𝟐𝒏𝟐 + 𝟑
2. 𝒂𝒏 = 𝟓𝒏 + 𝟔
3. 𝒂𝒏 = 𝟐(𝒏 + 𝟑)
I. Evaluating Learning
Answer:
1. 5,11,21,35,103
2. 11,16,21,26,31
3. 8,10,12,14,16
J. Additional activities or
remediation
V. REMARKS
Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your students’ progress. What
VI. REFLECTION works? What else needs to be done to help the pupils/students learn? Identify what help your
instructional supervisors can provide for you so when you meet them, you can ask them relevant
questions.
A. No. of learners who earned 80%
of the evaluation
B. No. of learners who require
additional activities for
remediation who scored below
80%
C. Did the remedial lesson work?
No. of learners who have caught
up with the lesson.
D. No. of learners who continue to
require remediation
E. Which of my teaching strategies
worked well? Why did these
work?
F. What difficulties did I encounter
which my principal or supervisor
can help me solve?
G. What innovation or localized
materials did I use/ discover
which I wish to share with other
teachers
