IV. PROCEDURES (7E’s LEARNING APPROACH)
1. Elicit (Engage Prior Knowledge)
Teacher’s Activity:
o Ask: “If you were given the equation f(x) = 2x + 3, what do you think it means when we say
f(4)?”
o Ask students: “Have you encountered something like this in junior high school?”
Student’s Activity:
o Learners share ideas about equations and substituting values.
2. Engage (Motivate Interest)
Show a short real-life problem on screen:
“A cellphone plan charges a base fee of ₱500 plus ₱5 per minute of call. How much do you pay for a
10-minute call?”
Ask: “Can we represent this using a function?”
Transition: Introduce the concept of functions as a way to model real-world situations.
3. Explore (Hands-on Activity)
Divide class into groups. Each group will receive a set of functions and values to evaluate (e.g., f(x) = x²
– 1, g(x) = 3x + 2).
Let them evaluate each function for given values: x = 0, 1, -1, 2.
Use visual aids or tables to guide their answers.
4. Explain (Concept Clarification)
Define function and explain how to evaluate it:
"To evaluate a function, substitute the given value of x into the expression for f(x)."
Model examples on the board:
o If f(x) = 2x + 3, then f(2) = 2(2) + 3 = 7.
o If g(x) = x² – 4x + 1, then g(3) = (3)² – 4(3) + 1 = 9 – 12 + 1 = -2.
Answer misconceptions and questions.
5. Elaborate (Deepen Understanding)
Provide real-life application word problems involving functions.
Example: “A taxi charges ₱40 flag-down and ₱13.50 per kilometer. Represent this as a function, and
evaluate it for 5 kilometers.”
Let students work in pairs to create and evaluate their own function based on scenarios given.
6. Evaluate (Assessment)
Formative Assessment:
o Solve the following:
1. If f(x) = x² + 2x, find f(3).
2. If h(x) = 5x – 4, find h(-2).
3. A water company charges ₱100 monthly fee plus ₱30 per cubic meter. Represent this as a
function and find the cost for 10 cubic meters.
Check for accuracy and reasoning.
7. Extend (Enrichment)
Assign students to find a real-world scenario at home or community that can be represented as a
function and evaluate it for a specific value.
Examples:
o Water or electricity bill
o Allowance based on number of school days
Present answers next meeting.

Some students need more support in translating word problems into functions.
