LESSON PLAN IN GENERAL MATHEMATICS

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students are able to:

represent real-life situations using functions, including piece-wise functions; and
evaluate a function.

II. LEARNING CONTENT

A. Subject Matter: Functions and Their Graphs

B. Lesson: Functions as Models ( Lesson 1)
Evaluating Function ( Lesson 2)
C. Code: M11GM-Ia-1 and M11GM-Ia-2
D. References: General Mathematics by Orlando A. Oronce , pp. 1-9
E. Materials: Manila paper, pentel pen
F. Strategies: Cooperative Learning

III. LEARNING ACTIVITIES/PROCEDURES

A. Preliminary Activity
Prayer
Checking of Attendance
Drill : Integer Flashcard Activity

B. Review
What is a function as introduced during your Grade 8 Mathematics?

C. Lesson Proper

1. Motivation
Present a scenario where functional relationships exist. Solicit
additional real-life situations from the students.

2. Presentation
Students are divided in groups where they will be given different topics
to brainstorm and come up with a creative presentation. Here are the
topics to be given:
a. Difference of function and relation
b. Function as a machine
c. Function and relations as a table of values
d. Function as a graph in Cartesian plane
e. Function as representations of real-life situations
f. Evaluation of Functions

3. Discussion
Highlight the idea to the students that real-life situations may be
represented using functions and need to be evaluated.

4. Developmental Activity
The students will be given more examples on functions and will be
given more exercises in evaluating functions.

5. Synthesis/Generalization
 What are the important things to take note about functions?
Why is there a need to be careful in evaluating functions?

IV. EVALUATION

1. Write 2 classroom scenarios that represent a function.

2. Evaluate the following:
a. x + 4 , where x = 5
b. 2x -3, where x = -2
c. 5 x, where x = -3

V. ENRICHMENT

A math puzzle involving evaluation of functions will be given to students.
