Introductory Message
Welcome to Mathematics for Grade 7!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Cadiz City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Mathematics Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Mathematics Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning

even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful
and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully
read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

MATHEMATICS 7 ACTIVITY SHEET

Approximating the measures of quantities particularly length, weight/mass and

volume

I. Learning Competency with Code

Approximates the measures of quantities particularly length, weight/mass,

volume, time, angle and temperature and rate (M7ME-IIa-3)

II. Background Information for Learners

This Activity Sheet deals with measurements, the appropriate measuring

device to be used and how to approximate the measures of different quantities.

In olden times, people used body measurements to approximate length.

These different body measurements are non-standard units of measure which later
gave rise to the English system of measurement. Presently, length is generally
measured using the Metric system.

Prefixes help us estimate measurements even if they are too big or too small.
Here are the common prefixes used in the Metric System arranged from smallest to
largest:

nano(n), micro(µ), milli(m), centi(c), deci(d), deka (da), hector(h), kilo(k), mega(M),
giga(G) and tera(T)

 The fundamental unit of length in the Metric System is meter (m)

The following are examples of the measuring devices used to measure length.

ruler meter stick tape measure

 To measure small quantities, like thickness of a book, length of a paper clip,

or the size of a microchip, use millimeters (mm)
 To measure quantities like the length of the fork, a pencil, or a book, use
centimeters (cm).
 To measure longer lengths like the length of flagpole, dimensions of a piece
of land, use meters (m).
 To measure the distance between towns, use kilometers (km).

Mass and weight are two different measurements, but weight is often used in
our daily lives. The fundamental unit of weight in the metric system is gram (g). To

3

 measure a small amount of weight, milligram(mg) is used, while to measure large
amount of weight, kilogram(kg) is used.

The following are examples of the measuring devices used to measure weight.

platform balance weighing scale digital weighing scale

The fundamental unit of volume in the metric system is Liter (L). Small
volumes like liquid medicine are measured in milliliters(mL). Large volumes like
water in tanks, reservoirs, or swimming pools are measured in cubic meters(m 3).

The following are examples of the measuring devices used to measure small amount
of volume.

MATHEMATICS 7 ACTIVITY SHEET

Approximating the Measures of Quantities Particularly Time, Angle,

Temperature and Rate

I. Learning Competency with Code

Approximates the measures of quantities particularly length, weight/mass, volume,

time, angle, temperature, and rate (M7ME-IIa-3)

II. Background Information for Learners

Primitive men used to tell time by the position of the sun, the stars and the
moon and the behavior of animals.
Time is measured by the rotation of Earth on its axis (making one year) in
1 1
365 days. This means that for the Earth to circle the sun once, it makes 365
4 4
turns on its axis.

Time can be expressed in two ways, 12-hour (standard time) or 24-hour

(military or astronomical time) notation. Standard time makes use of a.m. (ante
meridiem) and p.m. (post meridiem) to distinguish between the time from 12 midnight
to 12 noon (a.m.) and from 12 noon to 12 midnight (p.m.). These notations become
the basis of estimation especially the elapsed time.

An angle as shown, is measured by the amount of its opening in either

degree or radian measure. A protractor is used to measure the angle in degrees (0).
One should familiarize the measure of the common angles like 300, 450, 900 and 1800.

Temperature refers to the intensity of heat presents in a body. The

commonly used units are degree Celsius (oC) for the Metric System, degree
Fahrenheit (oF) and Kelvin (K) for SI. To make an estimate, two reference
temperatures are used:
1. The freezing point of water (0 ºC) or (32 ºF); and
2. The boiling point of water (100 ºC) or (212 ºF)

Rate as a comparison of two quantities have different units. It is written as

a fraction. When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second
or 5 kilometers per hour, they are called unit rates. The unit rates are used as the
basis of making estimates for rate of any person or object.

how many watermelons can be bought with ₱550.00.
