Checking of Attendance
Recalling of previous lesson:
1. The teacher will show the problem involving
quadratic functions and ask to volunteer to solve it.
Here is a problem :
Problem:
From a 96-foot building, an object is thrown straight
up into the air then follows a trajectory. The height S(t)
of the ball above the building after t seconds is given
by the function
1. What maximum height will the objec reach?
Alright, do you get the correct answer as well?
Good job class!
It seems that you understood our previous topic, let us now
proceed to our new lesson.
IV. LEARNING PROPER
ACTIVITY: “RELATED OR NOT?”
The class will be divided into 5 groups . Each
group will receive pictures and they will be given 2
minutes to study its features and another 3 minutes
to identify their related quantities. They will paste
the pictures and their answer on the manila paper
and post on the board.
Are the instructions clear?
Do you have any questions?
If there's none, kindly proceed to your group and
form a circle.
(The picture will be given to the students and will
be shown on the TV screen )
GROUP 1
Wall & Paint
GROUP 2
Groceries & Money
GROUP 3
Nature of activity & Heartbeat
GROUP 4
Speed & Distance
GROUP 5
Hardwork & Success
Do you like the activity?
Before you go back to your seats Lets have form a
word using this equation of pictures.
ANALYSIS
The teacher will ask the students;
Class, from the activity you had a while ago, what do you think will be our lesson for
this day?
The teacher will read the Objectives
ABSTRACTION
JOINT VARIATION
a
the statement “a varies jointly as b and c” means a= kbc or k= where k is the constant
bc
of variation.
Steps in solving problem involving Joint Variation.
1. Read and understand the problem.
2. Write the equation
3. Solve for the constant variation.
4. Write the equation of variation.
5. Find the constant of variation and the equation of variation.
Example 1. Translate the following statements into mathematical equation:
a. The variable x varies jointly as variables y and z.
Answer: x=kyz
b. A quantity z varies jointly as variables x and y.
Answer: z=kxy
Example 2: If a varies jointly as b and c, and a= 30 when b= 5 and c= 3, find a when b=
6 and c= 8.
Solution:
a= kbc
a
k=
bc
30
k=
(5)(3)
30
k=
15
k= 2 (constant of variation)
a= 2bc (equation of variation)
find a:
a= kbc
a= (2)(6)(8)
a= 96
Science/Physics Integration
Example 3: The amount of gasoline (l) use by a car varies jointly as the distance (d)
travelled and the speed (s). Suppose a car use 40 liters on a 5-kilometer trip at 8 km/hr.
About how many liters will it use on a 50km trip at a 20 km/hr.
Solution:
l= kds
l
k=
ds
40
k=
(5)(8)
40
k=
40
k= 1 (constant of variation)
l= 1ds (equation of variation)
find y:
l= kds
y= (1)(50)(20)
y= 100 liters
APPLICATION
Now let us apply what you have learned. We will
have another group activity. Each group will get a
cardboard with happy face in front and sad face at
the back. I will post statements on the screen, raise
the smiley face if you identify it as direct variation
and sad face if not. You have 20 seconds to think
and once you hear the buzz, raise your answer.
You'll get one point for each correct answer. The
group who will gain the highest score will be the
winner and will receive a prize. For those who
receive printed modules, they will have the same
activity but they have to work individually.
Are the instructions clear?
Alright, you may now go to your group and form a
circle.
Are you ready class?
1. The number of hours to finish a job to the
number of men working
2. The amount of water to the space that water did
not occupy in a particular container
3. The area of the wall to the amount of paint used
to cover it
4. The time spent in walking to the rate at which a
person walks
5. The time a teacher spends checking papers to
the number of students
6. The amount of money raised in a concert to the
number of tickets sold
7. The age of a used car to its resale value
8. The distance an airplane flies to the time
travelling
9. The number of visitors to the size of chairs in the
venue
10. The number of persons typing a manuscript to
the time spent in typing
11. Who got the highest score?
12. Let's give them Good job clap!
13. And for the rest of the group, give yourselves
five claps.
EVALUATION
Quiz Bee
Mechanics:
1. Write your answer on your 1/8 illustration board.
2. For every correct answer on the Easy Round, you'll get 1
point. For the average round, you'll get 2 points. And for the
difficult round you'll get 3 points.
3.20 seconds will be given to the easy round, 30 seconds for
the average round and 60 seconds for the difficult round
4. Record your own score, be honest.
Easy Round
Write the mathematical equation to the following statements:
1. The fare F of a passenger varies directly as the distance d
of his destination.
2. The cost C of fish varies directly as its weight w in
kilograms.
3. An employee's salary S varies directly as the number of
days d he has worked
Average Round
Write an equation where y varies directly as x
1. Y-28 when x=7
2. y 48 and x = 6
Difficult Round
1. A mailman can sort out 738 letters (L) in 6 hours (h). If the
number of sorted letters varies directly as the number of
working hours, how many letters can be sorted out in 9
hours?
ASSIGNMENT
Do you remember the Parable of Talents? What do you think God expect us to do with
the talents we received? Now, complete the statement of relationship.
The more talents you are given,______________________________
Answer it on ½ sheet of paper and submit it on our next meeting.
Is the instruction clear?
Do you have any questions regarding your assignment?
If there's none, everybody stand! Goodbye class!
