LOWER TIPARAK ANNEX
FIRST QUARTER
A. Content The learners demonstrate understanding of key concepts of sequences, polynomials and
Standards polynomial equations.
The learners are able to formulate and solve problems involving sequences, polynomials
B. Performance
and polynomial equations in different disciplines through appropriate and accurate
Standards
representations.
C. Learning The learners determine arithmetic means and nth term of an arithmetic sequence.
Competencies ( M10AL-Ib-c-1 )
Content is what the lesson is all about. It pertains to the subject matter that the teacher aims to teach. In the CG, the
content can be tackled in a week or two.

F. Developing mastery
(Leads to Formative Assessment 3)
ARITHMETIC MATHIC (Goody Round)
With their respective groups, the learners will be given a
set of problems with multiple choices related to ARITHMETIC MATHIC
arithmetic sequence. These will be answered within a (Goody Round)
specified time limit. When the time is up, the group will
raise the letter of their answer. Every correct answer is ANSWERS:
worth 5 points.
Problem 1:
Which term of the arithmetic sequence 7, 14, 21, 28, . 1. c. 15th
… is 105?
a. 13th b. 14th c. 15th d. 16th
Problem 2:
What is the common difference of the arithmetic 2. a. 3
sequence if the first term is 5 and the 13th term is 41?
a. 3 b. 4 c. 5 d. 6
Problem 1:
Tinapa (smoked fish) is best paired with atchara
1. 7 weeks
(pickled papaya). Diana, a tinapa vendor, decided to
sell atchara at her store. On the first week, she started
to sell 15 atchara bottles and due to high demand, she
decided to add 7 more bottles on each succeeding
weeks. Supposed that the pattern continues, how many
weeks are needed to sell 57 atchara bottles?
Problem 2:
If the 10th floor of a building is 50 meters above the
ground and the ground floor is 5 meters in height and
2. 5 meters
each floor apart from the ground has equal height.
Find the height of each floor.
I. Evaluating learning
V. REMARKS
Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your students' progress this week. What
VI. REFLECTION works? What else needs to be done to help the students learn? Identify what help your instructional supervisors can
provide for you so when you meet them, you can ask them relevant questions.
