Grade 5 MATH Quarter 3 Module 5: Formulating the Rule in Finding the Next Term in a Sequence

Mathematics Quarter 3 - Module 5:Formulating the Rule in Finding the Next Term in a Sequence After going through this module, you are expected to:  formulate the rule in finding the next term in a sequence; and  use different strategies (looking for a pattern, working backwards, etc.) to solve for the unkown in simple equations involving one or more operations on whole numbers and fractions. Patterns refer to usual types of procedures or rules that can be followed. Patterns are useful to predict what came before or what might come after a set a numbers that are arranged in a particular order. This arrangement of numbers is called a sequence. Different strategies in solving problems include: Guess and Check, Working Backwards, Use of Algebra, Look for A Pattern, Make A Diagram, Make a List/Table and etc. An equation is a sentence in mathematics that contains an “=” sign. The equals sign tells that an expression on the left is equivalent to the expression on the right. Example: 3 + 4 = 9 – 2 3 (3) = 18 ÷ 2 A variable or unknown is represented by a letter which may take in different values. A constant is a fixed value that does not change. The solution of an equation is a number that makes the sentence true. The process of finding a solution is called solving an equation. #MATH #DEPED #GRADE5
