LESSON PLAN

I. Objectives

At the end of the 45-minutes session, the students should be able to

  1. correctly determines dependent and independent variables of a given function or of a real life situation illustrating a function.
  2. Correctly provide examples of dependent and independent variables

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Independent and Dependent Variables Subject: Grade 8 Mathematics Materials: Meta-cards, Independent/Dependent Worksheet, Pairs of scissors, Glue/Double sided tape, Manila paper, Markers References: Grade 8 Mathematics LM and TM s2temsc/uploads/1/8/8/7/18873120/independent_and_dependent_variables.pdf Time: 7:30-8:15 AM (Grade 8-Pearl) 8:15-9:00 AM (Grade 8-Diamond) Date: February 26, 2019

III. Procedure

Teacher Activity Student Activity A. Routine Activities

  1. Prayer
  2. Checking of Attendance B. Motivation/Review
  3. Review on Identifying Functions The teacher will be reviewing the previous lesson on identifying functions represented as graph and equations. Establishing Purpose: To be asked to students: What is a dependent variable? How about an independent variable? The following scenarios will be presented to the students.
  4. The height of the tree is dependent as to the number of years it has grown.
  5. The higher the temperature of water, the faster the egg will cook.
  6. Compare brands of paper towels to see Lord’s Prayer... Our father in heaven... Students will recite their assigned number. 1, 2, 3... To identify a graph whether it is a function or not, use the Vertical Line Test. If every vertical line intersects the graph no more than once, it is a function. For an equation, if the exponent of the variable y is exactly one, then that is a function. Otherwise, it is just a mere relation. The students will be answering the remaining two statements in identifying dependent and independent variables.

which holds the most liquid. ACTIVITY

  1. Students will be divided into groups of size five. Each member of the group will be assigned a role. Shortest Person: Group Facilitator Tallest Person: Handler of Scissors Person with Longest Hair of Remaining Students: Gluer Remaining Person: Decision Maker Other Remaining person: Floating Task Master
  2. They will be provided with the worksheet of statements independent variables and dependent variables.
  3. They should read each statement, cut the independent variable apart from the dependent variable and glue the pieces onto their T-chart. The T-chart should have the column for independent variables and one column for dependent variables. Students will be counting from 1 to 5 for random assignment of teams. Then, in each group, they will assign themselves roles as specified: Group Facilitator: Handler of Scissors: Gluer: Decision Maker: Floating Task Master: Distribution of the worksheet and other materials to each group. ANALYSIS
  4. Student groups will share with one another how they made selections for placing the information in the T-chart.
  5. The teacher will address misconceptions and provide more examples, if necessary. The students are presenting their answers to the class their outputs in the form of the T-chart. ABSTRACTION  Variables- symbols or letters that represent numbers whose values can change  Independent Variable- values that can be changed or controlled. They provide the input. It controls the dependent variable.  Dependent Variable- values that result from independent variables. In an equation, most of the time, the independent variable is represented by the letter x, while the dependent variable is represented by the letter y. Examples: Independent
  6. Number of candies remaining in the jar before you visit
  7. Age
  8. Number of Hours of practice Dependent
  9. Number of candies remaining in the jar
  10. Height
  11. Level of Mastery

B. Motivation/Review
1. Review on Identifying Functions
The teacher will be reviewing the previous
lesson on identifying functions
represented as graph and equations.
Establishing Purpose:
To be asked to students: What is a dependent
variable? How about an independent variable?
The following scenarios will be presented to the
students.
1. The height of the tree is dependent as to
the number of years it has grown.
2. The higher the temperature of water, the
faster the egg will cook.
3. Compare brands of paper towels to see
Lord’s Prayer… Our father in heaven…
Students will recite their assigned number. 1, 2, 3…
To identify a graph whether it is a function or not,
use the Vertical Line Test. If every vertical line
intersects the graph no more than once, it is a
function.
For an equation, if the exponent of the variable y is
exactly one, then that is a function. Otherwise, it is
just a mere relation.
The students will be answering the remaining two
statements in identifying dependent and
independent variables.
