GENERATING
PATTERNS
Most Essential Learning Competency:
The learners can generate patterns

(M10AL-Ia-1).
At the end of the lesson, you are
expected to:
1. generate pattern from a given
succession of objects, numbers,
letters, or symbols;
2. find the nth term of a sequence; and
3. write the rule for the nth term of a
sequence.
IS THIS A PATTERN?
2,4,6,8,10,12,…
a, b, c, d, e
Patterns and sequences
For any pattern it is important to try to
spot what is happening before you can
predict the next number.
1, 2, …… What’s the next number?

For any pattern it is important to try to spot what is
happening before you can predict the next number.
1, 2, 4,… Who thought that the next number was
3?
What comes next?

For any pattern it is important to try
to spot what is happening before you
can predict the next number.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, …
What comes next?
Look at what is happening from 1 TERM to
the next. See if that is what is happening
for every TERM.
5, 8, 12, 17, 23, …, …
+3

for every TERM.
5, 8, 12, 17, 23, …, …
+3 +4

for every TERM.
5, 8, 12, 17, 23, …, …
+3 +4
for every TERM.
5, 8, 12, 17, 23, …, …
+3 +4 +5

for every TERM.
5, 8, 12, 17, 23, …, …
+3 +4 +5 +6
for every TERM.
5, 8, 12, 17, 23, 30, …
+3 +4 +5 +6 +7
Infinite sequence
Now try these patterns:
3, 7, 11, 15, 19, …, …
128, 64, 32, 16, 8, …, …
1000, 100, 10, 1, …, …
5, 15, 45, 135, …, … So what is a finite

sequence?
WHAT IS A SEQUENCE?
A sequence is a set of objects which is listed

in a specific order, one after another.
Each member or element in the sequence is
called term.
The terms in a sequence can be written as
𝒂𝟏, 𝒂𝟐, 𝒂𝟑, 𝒂𝟒, ... ,𝒂𝒏, ... which means 𝑎1 is the first
term, 𝑎2 is the second term, 𝑎3 is the third
term, …, 𝑎𝑛 is the nth term, and so on.
SEQUENCES CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS EITHER
FINITE SEQUENCE OR INFINITE SEQUENCE.
Finite Infinite
• has limited • has countless
number of terms number of terms
• it continues
• it has an end or without stopping
last term
FINDING TERMS OF A SEQUENCE
A term in a sequence can be

identified using a general term.
A general term or the nth term
is usually expressed as an
equation.
HOW TO FIND A TERM OF A
SEQUENCE USING A
GENERAL TERM?
CONSIDER THE
FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. SUBSTITUTE THE
VALUE OF N.
2. PERFORM THE
OPERATIONS.
3. SIMPLIFY.
EXAMPL
E:
Find the first five terms of the

sequence an = 5n – 2.
 Remember that n denotes the position or

order of the terms.
SOLUTIO Find the first five terms of the
N: sequence an = 5n – 2.
an = 5n – 2
For the first term, n = 1
an = 5n – 2
a1 = 5(1) – 2
a1 = 5 – 2
a1 = 3
For the second term, For the third term,

n=2 n=3
an = 5n – 2 an = 5n – 2
a2 = 5(2) – 2 a3 = 5(3) – 2
a2 = 10 – 2 a3 = 15 – 2
a2 = 8 a3 = 13
For the fourth term, For the fifth term,

n=4 n=5
an = 5n – 2 an = 5n – 2
a4 = 5(4) – 2 a5 = 5(5) – 2
a4 = 20 – 2 a5 = 25 – 2
a4 = 18 a5 = 23
ANSWER:
Find the first five terms of the

sequence an = 5n – 2.
 The first five terms of the sequence

an = 5n – 2 are 3, 8, 13, 18, and 23.
Determine the 6 , 8
th th
and 13 th
terms of the sequence an = 5 + 3n.
a6 = 23, a8 = 29, a13 = 44
