Good to hear that.

Checking of Assignment
Class, do you have an assignment last
meeting?
Yes, Ma’am.
Did everyone pass it already?
Yes, Ma’am.
Very good, class.

Recall
Before we proceed to our topic today,
let us recall first our topic last
discussion?

Anyone from the class who can share


the topic that we discussed last
meeting?

Can I hear it from you, Keisha? (Student raising their hands)

We learned about on how to plot a given


Very good, Keisha. points, ma’am.

Aside from that, anyone from the class


who also want to share what we
discuss last meeting?

Yes Louella? (Student raising their hands)

We can also know about what is


Very good, Louella. cartesian plane and its parts, ma’am.
Thank you for sharing class.

If there’s none, let’s have an activity.

B. Motivation
We will have a group activity first. Is
everyone here who knows about
jigsaw puzzle? Kindly raised your
hand.
(Everyone is raising their hands)
That’s great! Good to know that. Our
activity will be named as “Build me
up, You will find out”. In this activity,
I have a puzzle piece and cardboard.
All you must do is to build those puzzle
pieces on the cardboard and after that
you will figure out or you will find out
what’s on the picture.

Are we clear?

Again, this is a group activity, and your Yes, Ma’am.


class will be divided into three groups.
Group number 1 will be from Princess
to Kyle, for group number 2 is from
Amber to Travis and the rest will be the
group number 3. In a count of three,
you will go to your respective group
and form a circle. Are we clear?

In 1, 2 and 3, go now to your Yes, Ma’am.


groupmates.

Now, I will distribute the puzzle pieces


and cardboard. And when your group
is done fixing all the puzzle pieces,
your group need to clap three times
and say your group number. Is it clear,
class?

In a count of three again, your group Yes, Ma’am.


can start now. In 1, 2 3 go!

(Student start fixing the puzzle pieces)


C. Lesson Proper

Based on those different pictures


in your activity earlier, what have
you observed? Any Idea? Anyone
from the class?

Yes, Audreylene? (Student raising their hands)

I can see a lot of slanting objects, Ma’am.


Very good idea, Audreylene.

Another idea for the topic today?


(Student raising their hands)
Yes, Jamilla?
I see that the pictures show the high and
low movement of slanting objects,
Good idea, Jamilla. Ma’am.
Thank you for sharing class.
Our topic is related with those
pictures and to those words that
have you said, which is our topic is
all about “THE SLOPE OF A
LINE”.

Before that, let’s have our lesson


objective first. Can we have Giana
to read our lesson objectives.

Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the student will
be able to:
1. determine the changes in y- and
x- values;
2. describe the graph of a line given
the slope and;

by a given graph.
But before that, do remember our
cartesian plane?

Yes, ma’am.

In the cartesian plane, if it’s going


to the left and downward, what it (Student raising their hand)
is?
It is negative numbers, ma’am.
Yes, James?

Very good, James.


And how about if its going to the (Student raising their hand)
right and upward?
It is positive numbers, ma’am.
Yes, Kyle?

Very good, Kyle.


It is important to know this for us to
have easier in determining the
slope.
We have here the formula in
getting the slope of a line given a
graph. SLOPE OF A LINE GIVEN A GRAPH

(Slope)
rise changes ∈ y−values
m= =
run changes∈x−values
For example, we have this graph.
If the graph of the line
INCREASES/RISES from left to right.
Therefore, our slope is positive.
m>0

Look the first slope here. The


slope of the line here is from left to
right, what does it mean?
Geleen, kindly read this.

Thank you, Geleen.


Let see if it’s true that our slope is
positive. How are we going to get (Student raising their hands)
its slope. First is by getting its rise.

We are going count the steps from We will have m= , ma’am.
the point going upward. Let’s 2
count it rise, we have 2.

And for our run, we must count


from its rise up to the other point.
Let’s count its run, we have 2. Yes, Ma’am.

If we are going to write this in our


slope form, we will be having, m is
equal to what?

Yes, Alyssa?

Very good, Alyssa.


Therefore, the slope of the line
here is 1. Are clear, class?

Another example is:

If the graph of the line


DECREASES/FALLS from left to right.
Therefore, our slope is negative.
m<0
(Student are raising their hands)

(Student illustrating the rise on the slope)


The rise is 7.

Look our second slope here. The


slope of the line here is from right
(Student are raising their hands)
to left, what does it mean?
Jeisa, kindly read this.
(Student illustrating the rise on the slope)
The run is -5.

Thank you, Jeisa.


(Student are raising their hands)
Let see if it’s true that our slope is
negative. How are we going to get
its slope again. First is by getting 7 −7
We will have m= = , ma’am.
its rise. −5 5

If we are going count the steps


from the point going upward. What
will be our rise? Can someone
show it the class?

Yes, Rhiane? Come here on the


front.

Very good, Rhiane.


And for our run, we must count
from its rise up to the other point.
What will be our run? Can
someone show it the class?

Yes, Kyrone?
(Student are raising their hands)
Very good, Kyrone.
If we are going to write this in our
slope form, we will be having, m is
equal to what? (Student illustrating the slope)
The rise here is 6 and the run is -2. So,
Yes, Zoe? 6
we have m= =−3 .
Very good, Zoe.
−2
Therefore, the slope of a line is
−7
.
5
How about to this slope?

(Student are raising their hands)

The graph doesn’t have a slope and its


graph is just a straight line in horizontal
way, ma’am.

Who wants to try to get its slope?


Anyone here from the class?

(Student are raising their hands)


Yes, Kristine? Come here to the
front. No, ma’am.

Because the given line does not rise to


the graph.

Excellent, Kristine.
How about for this slope? (Student are raising their hands)

I think it’s 7, ma’am.

(Student are raising their hands)

0
What have you observed about The slope is m= =0 , ma’am.
7
this slope?

Yes, Danica?

Excellent observation, Danica.


When the graph of the line is in
horizontal line, therefore our slope
is 0.
m=0
Let see if it’s true that our slope is
zero. First is by getting its rise. Do
you think we have the value of rise
here?
(Student raising their hand)
Yes, Dafne?
The line where vertically graphs to the
How do you say so? cartesian plane, ma’am.

Exactly! Therefore, the rise here is


0. And how about the run?
(Student raising their hand)
Yes, Nicole?
The rise of the slope is 6, ma’am.
Very good, Nicole.
Then for the value of slope of a
line here is what? (Student raising their hand)

Yes, Azriel?
It is only 0, ma’am.
Very good, Azriel.
And how about to this slope? Because the line is just in vertical way,
ma’am.

Yes, ma’am.

None, ma’am.

What have you observed about


this slope?

Yes, Isaiah?
Yes, ma’am.
Very good observation, Isaiah.
If the graph of a line is in vertical
line, therefore its slope is
undefined.
Let see. As we saw the graph,
what do you think is its rise?

Yes, Kandice?

Very good, Kandice. Yes, ma’am.


And for the run?

Yes, Ella?

Why do you think so?

Very good, Ella.


Are we clear now, on how to get
the slope given a graph?

Is there any question about the


(Student are listening)
discussion?

D. Application
Since everyone understands the
lesson and there are no questions,
let’s have an activity again. Are you
ready?

This is a group activity and this


activity called “SLOPE’S HOUSE”.
In this activity, you need to find all
the slope of the line on Slope’s
House. After getting the slopes, it’s
your turn now to renovate and make
his house beautiful by using art
materials. Are we clear?

I have here the copy of Slope’s (Students going to their respective group)
House. Each group has its own
copy. And this activity will be
graded based on this rubric.

(Students start the activity)

In 1, 2 and 3, go now to your


groupmates. (Students are raising their hands)
And I will distribute the copy of slope’s I learned how rise and run works in
house and once you received it you finding the slope of a line in the given
may start to answer it. graph.
E. Generalization Yes, ma’am.
A job well-done on the activity,
class!
It shows that everyone really
understood and enjoyed the
discussion today. Since all of you
made this activity great, anyone
who will state what did he or she
learned from today’s lesson?

Yes, Rose?

Very well said, Rose.


Another. I want to hear from
Angela. Answer:

your own paper, be honest and let’s
check.

Who got a perfect score?

Who got lower than 5? None? Very


good.

Do you have any clarifications?


Question about the topic? Any
Violent reactions?

That’s good, you really understood


and learned the today’s discussion.

G. Assignment
On a one whole sheet of
intermediate pad. This will be your
assignment.

LET’S GET THIS REAL!


Read the problem below and
answer the questions that follows.

“Aya wanted to try mountain


climbing for the first time. It is one
thing that she has been waiting to
do ever since, but her having an
asthma that hinders her from doing
it for it might risk her health. She
has two options; mountain 1 and
mountain 2 are both popular in their
province for their beautiful
sceneries, but she has to choose
only one that would less risk her
health; the one that is less inclined.
She knew that the steeper the
mountain, the risker it is, so she
gathered information of the two
mountains. She illustrates them as
shown below:”

Yes, Ma’am.

Goodbye, ma’am. See you tomorrow.

1. By just looking at the


illustration, which mountain
do you think is steeper?
2. Identify the rise and run of
(a) Mountain 1; (b)
Mountain 2.
3. Identify the slope of (a)
Mountain 1; (b) Mountain 2.
4. Which of these Mountains
would Aya most likely want
to try climbing? Why do you
think it is?
5. If you were Aya, would you
try doing new things even if
it’s meant risking your
health? Why? Why not?

You will be passing that next


meeting. Is it clear, class?

If that is, that is all for today. Thank


you for listening class. Goodbye,
Grade 8.
