LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 9

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
illustrate situations that involve direct variation
solve problems involving direct variation
II. Subject Matter
Subject Matter – Direct Variations
Reference – Mathematics Learner’s Material 9
Materials – laptops, calculator, manila paper, pens
Value Focus – Accuracy in solving, Responsibility in a given task, Cooperation in
a group activity
Strategy – Group Activity, Individual Work, Discussion
III. Procedure
A. Preliminary Activities
Prayer
Checking of Attendance
Motivation (What’s the Back Story)
Choose two learners to be a volunteer. Let the two students walk from
one corner of the room to the other corner. At a constant rate, it takes
them 1 minute to reach the other corner. Again the two volunteers will
do again the task but while they are walking they are engrossed in
discussing something that they did not notice that the pace at which
they are walking slowed down.

Guide Questions: How will they be able to catch up for the lost number
of minutes? Cite solutions.

B. Learning Activities

Activity (Group Activity)

Group the students into two groups. Each group will be given a
problem to understand and analyze.
Group 1 – Let’s Recycle
Group 2 – How Steep is Enough?

Analysis
 1. How many kilograms of paper will the class have to gather in order
to raise 500 points? How the two quantities related? (Group 1)
2. How will you be able to find the distance if Jericho travelled in 5
hours? (Group 2)
3. Does the changes in one quantity affect a change in the other?
Explain the process that you have discovered.

Abstraction
1. Discussion of the Activity
2. Definition and Concepts about Direct Variation
3. Solving problems about Direct Variations

Application (Group Activity) – Cans Anyone?

The class will divide into two groups. Two groups will be given the
same problem to understand, analyze, solve and answer the guide
questions. Their answers on the guide questions will be written on the
manila paper and present it to the class.

IV. Assessment
Solve the following problems on a sheet of paper.
1. The service f of a physical therapist varies directly as the number of hours n
of service rendered. A physical therapist charges Php 2, 100 for 3 hours
service to patients in a home care. How much would he be paid for 6 ½
hours of service?

2. The amount of paint p needed to paint the walls of a room varies directly as
the area A of the wall. If 2 gallons of paint is needed to paint a 40 square
meter wall, how many gallons of paint are needed to paint a wall with an
area of 100 square meters?

V. Agreement
On a sheet of paper, summarize what you have learned from this lesson. Provide
real – life examples and illustrate it using tables and graphs showing the relation
between quantities and show your solution.
