Solving Word Problem Involving Direct Proportion in Different Context Such As Distance, Rate and Time Using Appropriate Strategies and Tools Grade 6 Lesson Plan

The lesson plan teaches solving word problems involving direct proportion. Students will practice setting up proportions to find missing values given rates, ratios or scales. Examples include problems about newspaper sales, magazine promotions, transportation costs and more. Students work through sample problems in groups, then reinforce the concept with additional exercises involving ratios, rates and using proportions to solve for unknown quantities.

III. Instructional Procedure


A. Preliminary Activities
1. Drill
Multiplication and Division Facts
7x9 6x8 9x3 5x6 4x8
24÷4 6÷3 16÷4 15÷3 32÷8

2. Review
Find a missing term in a proportion.
1. 4 : N = 12:30
2. N : 4 = 3:6
3. 4:20 = N:10
4. 3:5 = 9:N
5. 3:6 = N : 10

3. Motivation
What do you usually do during weekends to earn extra money?

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentaion
Present the problem

Fred and Kapo sell newspapers during weekends to earn extra money. For
every newspapers that Fred sells, Kapo sells 5. If Fred sells 15 newspapers,
How many did Kapo sells?

2. Performing the Activity


Group the pupils into 4 groups. Each group will answer the activity.
Enumerate the standard of group activity.

GROUP ACTIVITY
Solve the problem
I. Analyze the problem
a) What is asked in the problem?
b) What are given in the given in the problem?
c) Illustrate the problem.

II. Set a proportion


a) What is the missing term?
b) What proportion can you formulate base on the problem?

III. Solve
a) What is the correct answer to the problem?

3. Processing Activity
Let the pupils post their work on the board and check then discuss their
work.

Explain the Illustration

The Proportion is called Direct Proportion.


The quantities change in the same direction

As the newspapers that Fred sells increases the number of


newspapers that Kapo sells also increases.
Activity 2 - Let the pupils solve another word problem
Follow the steps in solving a word problem involving Direct
Proportion

Problem 2
