B. Establishing a Purpose
for the Lesson
 I need four(4) volunteers from the
class.
Among yourselves, choose two
pupils whose body temperature will be
measured while the remaining two
pupils will be the one to measure their
body temperature using the digital
thermometer.
Record the results on the manila
paper that I will be providing to you.
 Who has the higher temperature?
lower temperature?
How much higher is the temperature of
one pupil than the other?

How should we read the thermometer ?

Why is it important to read the
temperature of one’s body with accuracy?
What will happen if we misread the
temperature of one’s body?
C. Presenting Examples/
Instances of the Lesson
Read the problems.
Problem A
The weather report in one newspaper predicted the lowest
temperature for the day to be 24◦C and the highest at 32 ◦C. What
was the difference in the predicted temperatures for that day?

Based on the weather report in one newspaper, what was

the predicted lowest temperature of that day? How about the
highest?
What do you think is the weather condition for the said day?
What are the suitable activities to be done for such kind of
weather?
How about the kind of clothes we need to wear?
If you were the forecaster, what advise may you give to the
people to be safe and enjoy such kind of weather?
Problem B
Marina has a fever. At 12 noon, her temperature
increased by 1.8◦C from her temperature at 7 A.M.
Then her temperature went down by 1.3◦C at 5 P.M. At
11 P.M., her temperature rose again by 1.1 ◦C. If her
temperature at 11 P.M. was 39.7◦C, what was her
temperature at 7 A.M.?
 Who has a fever?
What was the increase of her
body temperature at 12 noon from
7 am?
How about the decrease from
12 noon to 5 pm?
What happened to her body
temperature from 5 pm to 11 pm?
 How are you going to
solve each problem?
 D. Discussing New and

Problem B : Using the 4- Step Plan
a. Understand :
Know what is asked :
Marina’s temperature at 7 A.M.
Know the given facts :
At 12 noon, her temperature increased by 1.8 ◦C from her temperature at
7. A.M .Then it went down by 1.3◦C at 5 P.M. The temperature at 11 P.M. was
39.7◦C.
b. Plan:
Determine the operation to be used:
Addition and subtraction
Write the number sentence:
39.7◦C - (1.8◦C-1.3◦C+1.1◦C) = N
c. Solve: Show your solution
39.7◦C - (1.8◦C-1.3◦C+1.1◦C)
39.7ºC – (0.5ºC + 1.1ºC)
39.7ºC – 1.6ºC
38.1◦C - Marina’s temperature at 7 A.M.
d. Check and Look back:
38.1◦C + 1.8◦C = 39.9◦C
39.9◦C - 1.3◦C = 38.6◦C
 How did you find the
activity?
How were you able to find
the answer to the problem?
In how many ways were
you able to arrive at the
answer?
 Are there ways by which you can solve the given
problems?
The first problem is an example of a routine problem.
Routine problem solving concerns solving problems that are
useful for daily living ( in the present or future).
The second problem is an example of a non routine
problem. Non-routine problem solving is mostly concerned
with developing pupil’s mathematical reasoning power and
fostering the understanding that mathematics is a creative
endeavor. This kind of problem helps the teacher to motivate
and challenge their pupils.
Some strategies used in these kind of problems are:
a. Guess and Check b. Drawing /Diagram/Illustration
c. Using patterns d. Use the 4-Step Plan
 E. Discussing New and
Practicing New Skills # 2
Read and solve.
From 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
the temperature went up steadily at
40◦C. at a rate of 0.75◦C each
hour. What was the temperature at
6:00 a.m.?
How will you solve the
problem?
Solution: Using the 4- Step Plan
a. Understand :
Know what is asked :
The temperature at 6:00 a.m.
Know the given facts :
40◦C, 0.75◦C each hour
b. Plan:
Determine the operation to be used:
Multiplication and Subtraction
Write the number sentence:
40◦C – ( 5x 0.75◦C)
c. Solve: Show your solution
40◦C – ( 5x 0.75◦C)
40˚C – 3.75˚C
36.25˚C – the temperature at 6:00am
d. Check and Look back:
40◦C-3.75◦C= 36.5◦C
F. Developing
Mastery
 Read and analyze the problem. Then, fill in the blanks from the
choices below.
Enzo’s temperature lowered by 1.75 ◦c after he was given a sponge
bath. Before the bath, his body temperature was 40.25 ◦C.What is his
body temperature now?
a. Understand
Know what is asked ____________
Know the given facts ___________
b. Plan
Operation to be used ___________
Number Sentence _____________
c. Solve
Show the solution______________
d. Check
Verify if the answer is correct _______________

subtraction Enzo’s present body temperature

1.75˚C; 40.25˚C 40.25˚C - 1.75˚C = N
38.5˚C + 1.75˚C = 40.25˚C 40.25˚C - 1.75˚C = 38.5˚C
