Subject: MATH

Grade Level: Grade 5

Objective:
A. Solves percent problems such as percent of increase/decrease (discounts,
original price, ratio of discount, sale price), commission, sales tax, and simple
interest. M6NS-IIe-1441.1 Solves percent problems such as percent of decrease
(discount, sale price),
b. Write the number sentence and solution correctly,
c. Spend money wisely

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Understanding ratios and proportions - This topic relates to the objective as it
provides foundational skills for solving percent problems. Students will learn how to
express a part of a whole, which is essential for calculating percentages.
2. Introduction to fractions - This topic connects with the objective by helping
students understand how to represent percentages as fractions, thereby enhancing
their comprehension of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and
percentages.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Economics - Students can explore concepts such as supply and demand, which
often involve understanding price changes and percentage increases or decreases
in sales. This connects to the objective by applying percent calculations in real-world
scenarios.
2. Social Studies - When learning about historical events, students can analyze
changes in population or economic statistics, requiring the application of percent
calculations to understand growth or decline over time.

Elicit:
Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning
Instructional Materials: None required
Anecdote 1: "When I was young, I remember saving up for a toy that cost 100
pesos. I had saved only 80 pesos when I found out it was on sale for 20% off. I had
to calculate how much I would need to buy it, which made me realize how discounts
work!"
Anecdote 2: "I once bought a shirt for 500 pesos, but later, I found out it was offered
at a 30% discount during a sale. I had to figure out how much I saved and how much
I actually spent, and that taught me the importance of shopping wisely."

Engage:
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Instructional Materials: Paper and markers
Energizer 1: "Price Tag Game" - In groups, students will create fake price tags with
different items and their original prices. They will then present their items and
calculate the sale price using a given discount percentage.
Energizer 2: "Percent Relay" - Students will form teams and race to solve simple
percent problems written on flashcards placed at one end of the classroom. This
energizer requires no materials and encourages teamwork and quick thinking.

Materials: Fake money, price tags, calculators
Significance: This activity allows students to apply their knowledge of discounts in a
simulated shopping experience.

Instructions:
1. Divide students into groups and provide each group with a budget and a list of
items with original prices.
2. Each group must calculate the sale price after applying a given discount to each
item.
3. Groups will present their findings and justify their spending decisions based on
their budget.

Rubrics:
- Calculation Accuracy: 15 pts.
- Presentation Clarity: 10 pts.
- Justification of Choices: 5 pts.
Assessment Questions:

2. What strategies did you use to stay within your budget?
3. Why is it important to understand discounts when shopping?
Activity 2: "Percentage Scavenger Hunt"
Teaching Strategy: Interactive Learning
Materials: None required
Significance: This activity promotes critical thinking and application of percentage
calculations in real-life contexts.

Instructions:
1. Create a list of items found in the classroom or school with their prices (real or
hypothetical).
2. Students will work in pairs to find these items and calculate different percentages
(e.g., 10% off, 25% off).
3. Each pair will share their calculations with the class.

Rubrics:
- Accuracy of Calculations: 15 pts.
- Collaboration: 10 pts.
- Presentation: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What was the most challenging percentage to calculate?
2. How did you ensure your calculations were correct?
3. What did you learn about percentages through this activity?

Explain:
The objective focuses on understanding how to solve percent problems, which is
crucial for making informed financial decisions. Recognizing patterns in percentage
calculations, such as how to convert between percentages, decimals, and fractions,
can deepen understanding. Additionally, knowing that percentages represent parts of
a whole can help students apply their knowledge in various contexts, such as
shopping and budgeting.
Elaborate:
Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning
1. Task: Create a personal budget for a month, including income and expenses.
2. Task: Analyze how much money is saved or spent based on percentage increases
or decreases in certain expenses (e.g., utility bills).
Discussion: Students will share their budget experiences and discuss how
understanding percentages helped them manage their finances better.

Evaluate:
Teaching Strategy: Formative Assessment

Questions:
1. What is the formula for calculating the sale price after a discount?
2. How can you express 25% as a decimal?
3. If an item originally costs 200 pesos and is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale
price?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. Why is it important to understand percentages in real life?
2. How would you explain the concept of percentage to someone who has never
learned it?
3. In what ways do businesses use percentages to attract customers?

Answers:
1. Understanding percentages helps individuals make informed financial decisions,
such as budgeting and shopping.
2. I would explain that percentage represents a fraction of 100, making it easier to
compare different quantities.
3. Businesses use percentages to highlight discounts, which can influence customer
buying behavior and increase sales.

Teaching Strategy: Contextualized Learning
Instructional Materials: None required
Usecase 1: Students can apply their knowledge of percentages to calculate
discounts during family shopping trips, helping their parents make better purchasing
decisions.
Usecase 2: In planning a class event, students can use percentages to budget for
food, decorations, and other expenses, ensuring they do not exceed their allocated
funds.

Assignment:
1. Create a simple shopping list with at least five items, including their original prices.
Calculate the sale price if each item were to have a 20% discount. Write a short
reflection on how understanding discounts can help you when shopping.
