c. Lesson Proper
The teacher presents the Arithmetic Sequences is defined as a sequence in which there is a
common difference between consecutive terms.
Which of the following sequences are arithmetic? Identify the common difference.
1. 3, 1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, . . .
2 . 15.5, 14, 12.5, 11, 9.5, 8, . . .
3. 84, 80, 74, 66, 56, 44, . . .
To solve the general form of an arithmetic sequences, you can use the formula
Afterwards, the teacher presents examples.
