After going through this session, you are expected to:

1.) Illustrate a series;


2.) Differentiate series from sequence;
3.) Apply the concepts of different types of sequences and
series; and
4.) Realize the significant value of sequence and series in
real-life situation.
Motivation
1. What are the different types of sequences that you have learned in
Mathematics 10?
Arithmetic sequence Geometric sequence
Harmonic sequence Fibonacci sequence
2. What are the formulas that you still remember in sequences?
Learning Task 2: Analyze and solve the given
situational problem by applying the concepts of
different types of sequences and series.
Guide Questions
1. What is the difference of the first problem to the
second?
2. How did you find the nth term of the given sequence
in the first and second problem?
3. How did you find the total number of sit-ups that a
student reached after the 8th level? What
mathematical term did you apply in solving this
problem?
4. What is the difference of sequence to a series?
Discussion
A sequence is a list of numbers (separated by commas),
while a series is a sum of numbers (separated by “+” or “–”
sign). The sequence with nth term is usually denoted by ,
and the associated series is given by S =
The first to eight level on the second problem requires a
number of trials represented by this {3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33,
39, 45} and this illustrates a sequence. This will become a
series if this will be represented as 3 + 9 + 15 + 21 + 27 +
33 + 39 + 45. Therefore, the associated series is 192.
