Tujuan

Durasi: (10 - 15 minutes)

This part of the lesson is designed to introduce students to number sequences and the importance of noticing patterns. It sets the stage for upcoming activities by encouraging self-awareness about their mathematical strengths and highlighting the value of teamwork and collaborative problem-solving.

Tujuan Utama

1. Learn how to spot number sequences that result from repeated addition or subtraction.

2. Recognize the patterns in these sequences and figure out any missing numbers.

Kegiatan Pemanasan Emosional

Deep Breathing and Creative Visualization

Our warm-up activity, 'Deep Breathing and Creative Visualization', helps students settle in and focus. By using breathing techniques and imaginative visualization, students are guided into a calm mindset, ready for the learning ahead.

1. Have students sit comfortably with their backs straight and feet flat on the floor.

2. Ask them to close their eyes and take a deep breath in through their noses, filling their lungs, then exhale slowly through their mouths.

3. Guide them with deep breathing for about 2 minutes, focusing only on the rhythm of their breath.

4. After 2 minutes, invite them to picture a peaceful place, such as a sunny beach or a vibrant field of wildflowers. Ask them to notice the colours, sounds, and scents.

5. Let them continue visualizing for another 3 minutes, exploring every detail and allowing themselves to relax.

6. Wrap up by having them slowly open their eyes and take one more deep breath, carrying that calm into the classroom.

Kontekstualisasi Konten

Math is all around us – whether it's counting steps on a staircase or figuring out change at the cash register, number sequences play a part. By spotting these patterns, students not only sharpen their math skills but also learn to solve problems more efficiently. This process is much like developing our socioemotional skills: small, everyday actions in self-awareness and social interaction can build up to big, positive changes in our lives.

Panduan Teori

Durasi: (15 - 20 minutes)

1. Numerical Sequences: A numerical sequence is an ordered list of numbers, where each number is known as a term. In an addition sequence, you obtain each new term by adding a fixed number to the previous one. In a subtraction sequence, you subtract a fixed number instead.

2. Example of an Addition Sequence: Consider 2, 5, 8, 11, 14. Here, each term is found by adding 3 to the previous term (2 + 3 = 5, 5 + 3 = 8, etc.).

3. Example of a Subtraction Sequence: Look at 20, 17, 14, 11, 8. Each number is determined by subtracting 3 from the one before it (20 - 3 = 17, 17 - 3 = 14, etc.).

4. Recognizing Patterns: Finding the repeating pattern in a sequence not only lets you predict the next numbers, it also helps you identify any missing terms.

5. Identifying Missing Terms: Once you’ve spotted the pattern, you can apply it to figure out the numbers that aren’t immediately visible in the sequence.

6. Real-Life Application: Number sequences are practical in everyday situations like counting, planning events, or even managing personal finances.

Kegiatan dengan Umpan Balik Sosioemosional

Durasi: (35 - 40 minutes)

Exploring Numerical Sequences

In pairs, students will investigate addition and subtraction sequences, work out any missing numbers, and discuss the patterns they uncover. This exercise not only reinforces mathematical concepts but also builds social skills and encourages responsible decision-making.

1. Split the class into pairs and hand out activity sheets featuring various number sequences with some missing terms.

2. Direct students to work together to uncover the pattern in each sequence and fill in the blanks.

3. Have them share their reasoning for identifying the patterns and solving the sequences with one another.

4. Once they’ve finished, encourage pairs to compare their answers with another pair and discuss any differences while justifying their conclusions.

5. Circulate around the room to offer help and observe interactions, promoting communication and cooperation.

Diskusi dan Umpan Balik Kelompok

When discussing the activity using the RULER approach, start by asking students to recognize how they felt while working together and solving the sequences. Next, encourage them to understand what caused those feelings—be it the challenge of the problem or the satisfaction of solving it. Invite them to name their emotions, such as frustration, joy, or pride. They should then express these feelings by sharing their experiences. Finally, discuss strategies they can use to regulate their emotions in future challenges, such as seeking support when frustrated or celebrating small wins to stay motivated.

Kesimpulan

Durasi: (15 - 20 minutes)

Refleksi dan Regulasi Emosional

For the concluding reflection, ask students to write about the challenges they encountered during the lesson and how they managed their feelings. Alternatively, you can lead a group discussion where each student shares moments when they felt frustrated, happy, or accomplished, and discuss the strategies they used to stay focused and work well with others.

Tujuan: This part of the lesson is aimed at promoting self-reflection and emotional regulation. By considering their experiences and discussing them with peers, students build greater self-awareness and learn effective ways to manage their emotions, which ultimately strengthens both their academic and social skills.

Pandangan ke Masa Depan

To wrap up, guide students in setting personal and academic goals related to the lesson. These might include getting better at spotting numerical sequences, working more collaboratively, or applying these patterns in real-life situations. Have them write their goals down and share them with the class to foster a supportive and accountable classroom environment.

Penetapan Tujuan:

1. Improve the ability to identify numerical sequences.

2. Collaborate more effectively with peers during group work.

3. Apply mathematical patterns in their everyday lives.

4. Develop strategies to overcome frustrations and math challenges.

5. Celebrate small achievements to keep their motivation high. Tujuan: The aim here is to enhance students' independence and practical application of what they've learned, encouraging continuous growth in both math skills and socioemotional areas. By setting clear goals and sharing them, students commit to their ongoing development.
