B. Activity
SINE-MO-TO! – Collaborative Learning
 Video Analysis: The class is divided into five (5) groups.
 The teacher will show 5 videos, one for each group.
 While watching the videos, each group will take note the important
concepts presented on the video.
 Afterwards, one representative of each group will report the
observations they had.’
 Sample Videos:
 Video clip No.1 – Application on Piece-wise Function
 Video clip No.2 – Application on Rational Function
 Video clip No.3 – Application on One-to-one and Inverse
Function
 Video clip No.4 – Application on Exponential Function
 Video clip No.5 – Application on Logarithmic Function

C. Analysis
Guide questions to be answered by group.
 How do you find the activities?
 Have you experience difficulties in doing the activity?
 What is the function used in solving the problem?
 What are the skills used in solving problem involving function?
 Does the video relate to real life situation? Why?
D. Abstraction

Points to Ponder
Steps in Solving Verbal Problems:
1. Read the problem with understanding and determine the given and
unknown quantities.
2. Represent the unknown quantities by letters.
3. Draw a figure or construct a table whenever necessary.
4. Translate the verbal problem into mathematical symbol. Then form
an algebraic equation or function.

 Illustrative example:
 A furniture manufacturer can sell dining room tables for Php 4,000
apiece. The manufacturer’s total cost consists of a fixed overhead
of Php 300,000 plus production costs of Php 1,000 per table.
Answer the following:
a) How many tables must the manufacturer sell to make a
profit of Php 300,000?
b) How many tables must the manufacturer sell to break
even?

E. Application:
KAYA-KO-TO! – Collaborative Learning
 The teacher will assign one (1) problem in every group.
 Every group has its own performance task.

Group 1
A 500-liter tank full of oil is being drained at the constant rate
of 20 liters per minute. How many liters are in the tank after 11
minutes and 45 seconds? Show your answer by demonstration.

Mastery = 30 points Timeliness = 10points

Group 2
A researcher estimates that the initial population of honeybees
in a colony is 500. They are increasing at a rate of 14% per
week. What is the expected population in 22 weeks? Show your
answer by illustration.
Rubric 2: Labels = 30 points Accuracy = 40 points
Neatness = 20 points Timeliness = 10points

Group 3 Suppose the value of a computer depreciates at a rate of 25% a

year. Determine the value of a laptop computer two years after it
has been purchased for P3, 750.00. Show you answer by role
play.

Joe’s rectangular garden is 6 meters long and 4 meters wide. He

Group 4
wishes to double the area of his garden by increasing its
length and width by the same amount. Find the number of
meters by which each dimension must be increased.

 Group 5
A high school had 1200 students enrolled in 2003 and 1500
students in 2006. If the students population P; grows as a linear
function of time t, where t is the number of years after 2003.
How many students will be enrolled in the school in 2010? Show
your answer by role play through video clip.

IV. EVALUATION
Directions: Solve the following problems.
1. The ages of three family children can be expressed as consecutive integers.
The square of the age of the youngest child is 4 more than eight times the age
of the oldest child. Find the ages of the three children.

2. If a farmer uses 25 pounds of insecticide, assuming its half-life is 12 years,

how many pounds (rounded to the nearest tenth) will still be active after:
(a) 5 years
(b) 20 years

3. Two cars start at the same time from opposite points, A and B, 550 km away.
From a point A, a car travelling at 50km/hr starts towards a point B, 550 km
away. A second car from point B travels toward s point A at 60 km/hr. When
will they meet?

V. ASSIGNMENT:
 Give one word problem involving functions with solution that relates to
real-life situation.
