A. Activating Prior DAY 1 Ask volunteers some concepts

Knowledge 1. Short Review (15 minutes) related to distance-time graph.
Draw and describe a line graph.
Define a slope and give its formula. Before doing Activity 6.1, you
may consider to give a short
discussion about the line graph
and its slope in case they did not
tackle it yet in Mathematics.

Line graph consists of x and y-axis, each representing a distinct variable. In this
case/lesson, one axis will represent values for distance, and the other for time.

Slope describes the steepness of a graph. It shows the change in the y and x
coordinates of plotted points in the graph. It is usually represented by the
mathematical expression slope of line (m) is equal to rise over run wherein the
rise is the change in the y-coordinates and the run is the change in the x-
coordinates.

IV. EVALUATING LEARNING: FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT AND TEACHER’S REFLECTION NOTES TO TEACHERS

A. Evaluating 1. Formative Assessment

Learning
EXIT QUESTION OF THE DAY!

Let the students generalize the concepts and skills learned in today’s lesson by answering
the following questions:
1. What information can be obtained from the distance-time graph?
Distance-time graph gives a visual representation of the object’s motion. From the
graph, we can obtain how far the object has traveled at a given time and the speed of
the object.

2. What does the slope of a d-t graph represent? It represents average speed.

3. How do we interpret the motion of an object from the shape of its distance-time
graph?
A displacement-time graph that slants to the right has a constant positive slope. It
shows that the body is moving away from its original position at constant speed.

A straight-line graph that slants to the left has a constant negative slope and it shows
that the body is moving back to its original position at a constant speed.

11
 A line graph that has a zero slope shows that the body is at rest.

4. What is the difference between average speed and instantaneous speed? How do we
calculate instantaneous speed from a distance-time graph?
Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular instant or time, while
average speed is the ratio of total distance traveled and total time of travel.
Instantaneous speed can be determined by drawing a tangent line at a particular point
on the curve and calculating the slope of this tangent line. The slope of this tangent line
is the object’s instantaneous speed at that particular point.

The speedometer reading in a vehicle gives the instantaneous speed.
