Arithmetic Means

This lesson plan is for a math class on geometric sequences. It includes objectives to find arithmetic means between terms of an arithmetic sequence. Students will learn about geometric sequences using examples, activities, and illustrations. They will derive a formula for the nth term and practice applying it to find missing terms and arithmetic means. Student understanding will be evaluated through group work and homework questions.

Time: Industrious (10:00 - 11:00)

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. find the arithmetic means between terms of an arithmetic sequence

II. SUBJECT MATTER


1. Topic : Geometric Sequence - M10AL-Ib-c-1
2. Reference : G10 LM, pp.12-15
3. Materials : Visual Aids, activity notebook

III. PROCEDURE :
1. Preliminary Activities
1.1 Prayer and greetings
1.2 Checking of attendance
1.3 Setting of class mode
1.4 Collecting of homeworks
2. Lesson Proper

✔ Finding a formula for the nth term

Activity

The class will be grouped into 97. Each group will be given 5 minutes to do the activity.
Direction: Consider the sequence 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37. Complete the table (below)that is initially
filled-out. Observe how the data on the preceding boxes were derived
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6
7 12 17 22 27 32
7 7+5 7 + 5+5 7 + 5+5+5 7 + 5+5+5+5 7 + 5+5+5+5

Analysis

1. How else can we write the terms? Study the next table (below) posted on the board and
complete it.

a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6
7 12 17 22 27 32
7 7+5 7 + 5+5 7 + 5+5+5 7 + 5+5+5+5 7 + 5+5+5+5
7 + 0 (5) 7 + 1 (5) 7 + 2 (5) 7 + 3 (5) 7 + 4 (5) 7 + 5 (5)

2. What is a4?...a5?...a6?

Abstraction

The teacher will discuss to the class the uses of the derived arithmetic sequence formula
(below) that will be useful in the solving for the arithmetic/geometric means.
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6
7 + 0 (5) 7 + 1 (5) 7 + 2 (5) 7 + 3 (5) 7 + 4 (5) 7 + 5 (5)
7 7+d 7 + 2d 7 + 3d 7 + 4d 7 + 5d

Application

Illustration 1. Insert 4 arithmetic means between 5 and 25.

Given: a1 = 5 , a6 = 25
Missing: a2, a3, a4, and a5,
Solution: Since it is required to insert 4 terms, then there will be 6 terms in all.

Steps in finding a2, a3, a4, and a5:


1. Solve for the value of d, use a6 = a1 + 5d (refer to the activity above how it is
derived
2. Substitute: a1 = 5, and a6 = 25 into a6 = a1 + 5d,
we have 25 = 5 + 5d, d = 4

using the value of d, solve for a2, a3, a4, and a5.

a2 = 5 + d, a3 = 5 + 2d, a4 = 5 + 3d, a5 = 5 + 4d
a2 = 5 + 4, a3 = 5 + 2(4), a4 = 5 + 3(4), a5 = 5 + 4(4)
a2 = 9 , a3 = 13 a4 = 17 a5 = 21

IV. EVALUATION

Direction: 1/2 sheet of paper: By-group: Answer the following questions. Show your
solution.
1. Find a1 if a8 = 54 and a9 = 60.

V. ASSIGNMENT

Direction: In Activity Notebook:


1. Insert 4 arithmetic means between the 4th term which is equal to 10, and the 11th term
which is equal to 45.
