Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

A. Preliminary Activities

a. Opening prayer

“Stand up class. Let us pray.”
“God our Father may everything we do begin with your
inspiration and continue with your saving help. Let our
acquisition of knowledge always find its origin in you and
through you attain wisdom. Lord, pour out on us the
spirit of understanding, truth and peace. Help us to strive
with all our hearts to know what is pleasing to you. When
we know your will, make us determined to do it. Amen.”

b. Greetings

“Good morning class!” “Good morning ma’am”

“So before you take your seat, pick up

the pieces of paper.”

c. Checking of Attendance

“Who is absent today?” “Only brylle ma’am”

“So, for those who are absent help “Yes Ma’am”

them cope up with our lesson, ok?

“Ok. Arrange your chairs and seat

properly.”
 “Those who are not in their proper
seat and who’s not wearing their ID
and proper uniform will be marked
absent also.”

“Yes, Mr. Araojo where’s your ID, do

you want to be marked absent?

B. Developmental Activities/Lesson Proper

What is our previous lesson class? Our previous lesson is about the different types of
variation which are direct, inverse, joint and combined
variation.

So to check if you really understand our

previous lesson we will have our activity,
it’s a group quiz bee so before you go to
your respective group, here are the
mechanics.

The winning group will receive a reward,

are you ready? Let’s start

a. Warm-up activity

Quiz Bee Type consisting of 9 items.

b. Introductory Activity

“Now that you can identify the type of

variation a given equation or problem is,
I think you can solve problems involving
variation.”

“Each group has their assigned problem

so that you need 2 representatives”

Solve the following problem: Expected Answers:

Problem # 1

Hooke Law states that the distance (d) a d=kw

spring is elongated varies directly with a 60 cm. = k 5kg.
hanging weight (w) attached to it. The k = 12
distance is 60 centimeters when the d = 12w
weight is 5 kilograms. What is the d = (12 cm./kg.) (8 kg.)
distance when the weight is 8 kilograms? d = 96 cm.

Problem #2

Allan drove from his house at an average s=kt

speed of 50 kilometers per hour. The 50 km. = k 30mins.
drive took him half an hour. If the drive k = 1.67
home took him 45 minutes and used the s = 1.67 t
same route, what was his average speed s = (1.67) (45mins.)
on the way home? s = 75 km./hr.
Problem #3

The weight of water in a human body f=kg

varies directly as the total weight. A 50 = k 80
person weighing 80 kilograms contains k = 5/8
50 kilograms of water. How many f = 5/8 g
kilograms of water are in a 70 kilogram f = (5/8) (70)
person? f = 43.75 kg.

Problem #4

The amount of interest earned on an i=km

investment is directly proportional to the 15,000 = k (200,000)
amount of money invested. If 200,000 k = 0.075
pesos earned 15,000 in a month, how i = 0.075m
much will a 150,000-peso investment on i = 0.075(150,000)
the same venture earn in a year? i = 11,250
i = 11,250 (12)
i = 135,000 pesos
Problem #5

The current (I) in a circuit varies I=k/R

inversely as the resistance (R) of the ¾ = k / 360
conductor. The current is ¾ ampere when k = 270
resistance is 360 ohms. What is the I = 270 / R
current when the resistance is 540 ohms? I = 270 / 540
I = ½ ampere

Ok I will give you 10minutes to answer,

just answer first the problem that will be
assigned to your group and If you’re
already done try to answer also the other
problems for you to compare.

From the activities that we have, what Cooperation and Teamwork

values did you learn or exert?

Cooperation and teamwork it is import

because….

So going back to our lesson, class do you A little bit confusing ma’am…
find it hard or confusing in solving Yes, ma’am its difficult…
problems involving variations? What are The given…
the things you identify first? The type of equation…
The formula to be use….

Ok, so for others not to be confuse in

solving, we have here the steps in solving
problems involving variations…

So now how can we relate variation in or

real life situations?

Display the example of issues that show

the relationship through variation.
Now class do you understand variation?

Ok class, we only have 5 minutes left

copy your assignments and answer it in Yes, Ma’am…
your home to be submitted next
meeting…

It’s already time class, stand up and let us

pray…

Goodbye St. Therese….

Goodbye Ma’am, see you tomorrow…

Generalization
What are the following steps in solving problems involving variation?

Assessment/Evaluation

Assignment
Answer on a one whole sheet of paper. Show your solutions.

Solve the following problem:

1. The distance required to stop a car varies directly as the square of its speed. If 250 feet
are required to stop a car traveling 60 miles per hour, how many feet are required to stop
a car traveling 96 miles per hour?

2. The volume of gas varies directly as the temperature and inversely as the pressure. If the
volume is 230 cubic centimeters when the temperature is 300ºK and the pressure is 20
pounds per square centimeter, what is the volume when the temperature is 270 ºK and the
pressure is 30 pounds per square centimeter?

3. Wind resistance varies jointly as an object’s surface area and velocity. If an object
traveling at 40 miles per hour with a surface area of 25 square feet experiences a wind
resistance of 225 Newton, how fast must a car with 40 square feet of surface area travel
in order to experience a wind resistance of 270 Newton?

4. The frequency of a vibrating guitar string varies inversely as its length. Suppose a guitar
string 0.65 meters long vibrates 4.3 times per second. What frequency would a string 0.5
meters long have?
