IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing or presenting the new Provide a brief yet sufficient concepts recall on the following:
lesson  Functions
 Piecewise Functions
 Present the problem below. Let the students translate
mathematically.
Problem: Give a function C that can represent the cost of
buying x meals, if one meal costs ₱40.
Expected answer: Since each meal costs ₱40, then the cost
function is C(x) = 40x.
B. Establishing a purpose for the  Use Example 7 on p. 8, as shown below. The teacher may ask
lesson for volunteers to discuss the problem.
Problem: One hundred meters of fencing is available to enclose a
rectangular area next to a river. Give a function A that can
represent the area that can be enclosed, in terms of x.

Prepared by: Patrick A. Paraguya

SHS Teacher
 Expected answer: The area of the rectangular enclosure is A = xy.
We will write this as a function of x. Since only 100 m of fencing

is available, then or .
Thus, .
C. Presenting examples of the new
lesson Provide real-life situational problems that can only be described by
more than one formula, depending on the value of the independent
variable. (Use Example 8 on p. 8.) The problem is shown below:
Problem: A user is charged ₱300 monthly for a particular mobile plan,
which includes 100 free text messages. Messages in excess of 100 are
charged ₱1 each. Represent the amount a consumer pays each month
as a function of the number of messages m sent in a month.
Expected Answer: Let t(m) represent the amount paid by the consumer
each month. It can be expressed by the piecewise function,

Since this is a piecewise function, see to it to describe this type of

function.
D. Discussing new concepts and Lead the class in discussing another problem involving piecewise
practicing new skills #1 function. Present the problem below.
Problem: A jeepney ride costs ₱8.00 for the first 4 kilometers,
and each additional integer kilometer adds ₱1.50 to the fare.
Use a piecewise function to represent the jeepney fare in terms
of the distance d in kilometers.
Expected answer: The input value is distance and the output is
the cost of the jeepney fare. If F(d) represents the fare as a
function of distance, the can be represented as follows:

Make sure to discuss about greatest integer or floor function as the

problem above requires the use of such function applied to d. The floor
function gives the largest integer less than or equal to d, e.g.
.
E. Discussing new concepts and
practicing new skills #2
F. Developing Mastery  (Cooperative learning technique is encouraged.) Divide the
class into 5. Present the problem to the class and give them
adequate time to discuss among themselves the solution.
Problem: A videoke machine can be rented for ₱1000 for three
days, but for the fourth day onwards, an additional cost of ₱400
per day is added. Represent the cost of renting a videoke
machine as a piecewise function of the number of days it is
rented and plot its graph.
Refer to the solution on p.10.
G. Finding practical applications of (Cooperative learning technique is still encouraged and the use of
concepts and skills in daily living rubric for checking the group’s output presentation is suggested.)

SHS Teacher
 Show the problem below to the class:
Problem: The cost of hiring a catering service to serve food for
a party is ₱150 per head for 20 persons or less, ₱130 per head
for 21 to 50 persons, and ₱110 per head for 51 to 100 persons.
For 100 or more persons, the cost is at ₱100 per head.
Represent the total cost as a piecewise function of the number
of attendees of the party.

Expected answer: ,
H. Making Generalizations and Ask: How do you find the solutions of problems involving
abstractions about the lesson functions?
I.Evaluating learning See Attachment.
J. Additional Activities for For remediation, assign learners to answer part F individually. Peer
application or remediation tutoring is desired. See to it the learners submit their output. Random
output presentations should be encouraged.
For enrichment, assign the problem on part G. The same rubric should
be used for grading the learners’ outputs.

 EVALUATION

WORKSHEET No. ___

Solve the followig problems. Show your solution.

1. In an organ pipe, the frequency f of vibration of air is inversely proportional to the

length L of the pipe.

Suppose that the frequency of vibration in a 10-foot pipe is 54 vibrations per second.
Express f as a function of L.
