I.

Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
Define Direct Variation.
Translate mathematical statements into equations or mathematical symbols.
Distinguish whether or not a relation is a Direct Linear Variation by finding
the constant of variation.

III.Teaching Strategies
a. Daily Routine/ Routinary Activities
Prayer
Checking of Attendance
b. Motivation/ Recall
Slide pictures
The teacher will show a slide pictures about products and their
prices.
Product 1

- If P 100 per kilo of Galunggong, then how much will 2 kilos of

Galunggong cost?
Product 2

- If P 50 per piece of mug, then how much will 9 pieces of mugs

cost?
 Product 3

- If P 10 each of carrots, then how much will 10 pieces of carrots

cost?
Product 4

- If P 15, 000 per laptop, then how much the 3 pieces of laptops
will cost?
Product 5

- If P 1 per piece of candy, then how much will 50 pieces cost?

Guide Questions:

1. What have you observed from the slide pictures?

2. How is the number of products related to the money paid by the
costumers?

The kilos of Galunggung (G) varies directly as its price (p)

is translated as G = kp
The number of mugs (m) varies proportionally as its price (p)
is translated as m = kp
The number of carrots (c) varies directly as its price (p)
is translated as c = kp
The number of laptops (l) varies directly as its price (p)
is translated as l = kp
The number of candies (c) varies directly as its price (p)
is translated as c = kp
c. Presentation of the Lesson
Direct Variation is the direct relationship between two variables.
The constant is the ratio of two variables and represented by k.

Ex. 1. The cost (c) of chicken varies directly as its weight (w)
 is translated as c = kw

Ex. 2. The number of chairs (c) varies proportionally as the number of

students (s)

Is translated as c = ks

Ex. 3. y varies directly as x

Is translated as y = kx

Examples: (Determining the direct linear variation by finding the constant

of variation)

y 1 3 4 6
k = y/x ; 15/5 = 3 ; 30/10 = 3 ; 45/ 15 =

Guide Questions:
 1. How did we get the constant of variation?
2. How will we determine if the given relation is direct linear variation?
3. Why do we need to translate the mathematical statements into
symbols?
d. Fixing Skills
The class will be divided into 3 groups to answer the given problems.
The activity will be graded based on the given rubrics for variation.

(correct answers)

A. Translate the mathematical statements into symbols.

1. The length (L) of a rectangle varies directly as the width (W).
2. The distance (d) varies directly as time (t).
B. Determine whether each relation expresses direct linear variation or
not then draw its graph.

1 volunteer student from the class will give
a relation and he/she will choose another student to answer the
problem.
What is direct variation?
Direct variation is the direct relationship between two variables.
What is constant of variation?
The constant is the ratio of two variables and represented by k.

IV. Evaluation

give the constant of variation.
