This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It will help you master the skills in finding the nth term using different strategies and differentiating expression from equation. The scope of this module allows you to use it in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes your vocabulary level. The lessons were arranged to follow the standard sequence of your course. However, the order in which you study them can be changed to match with the textbook you are now using.
The module is divided into two lessons, namely:
- Lesson 1 – Formulating Rules for Sequences
- Lesson 2 – Differentiating Expression from Equation
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. formulate the rule in finding the nth term using different strategies (looking for a pattern, guessing and checking, working backwards); and
2. differentiate expression from equation.
