coupon bond back to back in chronological order. Every submission, just pass your
answer sheet attached with this guideline. Maintain cleanliness on your paper.
III. PROCEDURE
A. INTRODUCTION
Karen is a ballerina. Her body is so flexible. She can do ballet stunts that put
her body in different positions. As a dancer, she makes sure that her body is fit and
well-conditioned to do the stunts by stretching everyday and drinking milk at least
twice a day. What could be the possible reason that Karen’s body is flexible and
freely move? To crack the question, let us continue to the next level.
B. DISCUSSION
The skeleton of an adult is a structure composed of 206 rigid organs called
bones. It is responsible for the body’s shape and external appearance. The skeletal
system together with some 400 muscles is also responsible for movement. Without
bones, the body would not have a form or shape, the body would just be a blob of
soft muscles and internal organs. So, it would be impossible for ballerina like
Karen to do gymnastics stunts. (More discussion on the parts and function of the
skeletal system, refer on pages 60-62).
In order for the body to support the body and protect the organs inside the
body the bones must be strong. Calcium makes the bones big and strong. A good
source of calcium is milk. Avoid foods or drinks that weaken the bones, such as
salty foods, sugary foods, and carbonated and/ or caffeinated drinks. (More
discussion on how to care skeletal system, refer on pages 63-64.

LESSON 2: THE CONCEPT OF PROPORTION
I. OBJECTIVES
A. Define and illustrate the meaning of proportion using concrete or pictorial models.
B. Find the missing term in a proportion.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
Topic: The concept of Proportion
References: Mathematics 6 (pages 133-134)
III. PROCEDURE
A. INTRODUCTION
Engage yourself to the following problem.
Mother uses three apples and two mangoes in making a bowl of fruit salad. Find
the other equal ratios.

WHAT WILL I DO?

In finding equal ratios, let us use the concept of proportion. Proportion is the
equality of two ratios. Given that, the ratio of the number of apples to the number
of mangoes is 3:2. Let us find the other equal ratio by keeping the same ratio.
Study the table below.
apples 3 3*2 = 6 3*3 = 9…
mangoes 2 2*2 = 4 2*3 = 6…
If you observe the sequence is just a matter of finding the multiple of a given
number. Indeed, the ratios 3:2 and 6:4 are equal ratios, and 3:2 and 9:6 are also
equal ratios. It satisfies the concept of proportion.
.
B. DISCUSSION
Proportion is a statement of equality between two ratios. Each part of a proportion
is a term. The first and the last terms are called extremes while the second and third
terms are called means.
(Examples, refer to pages 133-134).
In finding the missing term in a Proportion, refer on page 135-136.
C. APPLICATION
