2. Valuing Process (Sharing of Ideas among students)
Is it important to solve word problem (Sample of students’ answers)
involving money? Decimal? Student A: It is important to subtract money so
that I will not be fooled in the store.
Student B: It is important to learn how to
subtract because we will know how many is the
remaining thing.
Student C: It is important to subtract because we
will know if somebody has stolen your belonging,
example ball pens, etc.)

Importance of Lesson Plan using Process Method

This method is followed in teaching subject matter that requires steps such as:

1. Solving mathematical word problems

2. Solving statistical techniques like average or mean, standard deviation, Pearson r,
etc.
3. Mathematical equations: changing improper fraction to mixed numbers or whole
number, reducing fractions to lowest term, finding the percentage, solving algebraic
equations, etc.
