Learning
Competency/i Reads and interprets electric and water meter readings Code: M6ME-IVd-100
es:
Key Concepts  To read electric meters:
/ 1. Always read all the dials from right to left, starting from Dial E to Dial A.
Understandin 2. Read the number of the pointer of the dial. When the pointer is between two
gs to be numbers, the lower number is recorded
Developed: 3. If the pointer appears to be exactly on a number, check the dial to the right to find
out the correct reading
 If the dial on the right has passed zero, then use the number the pointer is pointing on
the dial you are reading
 If the dial has passed zero, then make use of the smaller number, then make use of
thee smaller number of the dial you are reading
To read water meters:
1. Start reading from right to left (clockwise). Read the number by the pointer of the dial.
When the pointer is between two numbers, the lower number is recorded.
2. When the pointer is directly on the number, look at the dial to the right. If it passed zero,
use the next higher number. If the dial has not passed zero, use the lower number.
3. Record the numbers from right to left.
1.Objectives
Knowledge Read and interpret electric and water meter reading
Skills Records the reading shown by the dials of electric meter and water meter
Attitudes Wise use of electricity and water
Values Energy and water conservation

4. Procedures : (indicate the steps you will undertake to teach the lesson and indicate the no. of minutes
each
step will consume)
4.1 1. Drill
Introductory Mental computation: Give me number that is
Activity a. One more than 9
5 minutes b. One more than 99
c. One more than 999
What happens to 9 when you add 1?
2. Review
1. Review on place value and the relation on each digit to another digit in a given
number.
2. Use flash cards-Review on Subtraction
MOTIVATION
Ask the pupils the electrical appliances they have at home. Elicit from them which these
consume the most electricity.
Ask the pupils how much they pay for their monthly electric bill. Get some reactions.
How many of the pupils have faucets?
Do you think water is important? Explain.
Can you save water? How? Why is it necessary for us to save water?
4.2
Presentation Presentation:
5 minutes Show the whole class a model of an electric meter and actual water meter (If available)/
model of a water meter, then identify its parts. Illustrates how the dials move for electric meter
and for water meter. Then the pupils are asked to read the electric and water consumption as
shown by the dials. This is done several times.
Comparison is made between consumptions.

4.3 Group the pupils into two groups. Group 1 for station I and Group 2 for station 2
Performing For Station 1 – study the table and compute the kwh used.

Consumption
Ask the class a follow up questions:
In Station 1:
Which household consume the most? The least?
Which two houses consumed almost the same kwh? What can you say about their bill?
As a member of the household, how can you lower your electric bill? Why is it important to use
electricity wisely?
In Station 2;
In what month consume the most water? Least water?
What is the average monthly consumption?
How many liter of water did they use? What is the equivalent in cubic meter?
4.4 How the dials of electric meter move? How do you read the dial of a meter?
Processing How do you read the water meter? How do you solve for the monthly consumption?
the Activities
10 minutes To electric meters:
1. Always read all the dials from right to left, starting from Dial E to Dial A.
2. Read the number of the pointer of the dial. When the pointer is between two numbers,
the lower number is recorded
3. If the pointer appears to be exactly on a number, check the dial to the right to find out
the correct reading
 If the dial on the right has passed zero, then use the number the pointer is pointing on
the dial you are reading
 If the dial has passed zero, then make use of the smaller number, then make use of
thee smaller number of the dial you are reading
To read water meters:
1. Start reading from right tp left (clockwise). Read the number by the pointer of the dial.
When the pointer is between two numbers, the lower number is recorded.
2. When the pointer is directly on the number, look at the dial to the right. If it passed zero,
use the next higher number. If the dial has not passed zero, use the lower number.
Record the numbers from right to left.
(the teacher show example of electric meter and water meter)
4.5 A. Draw a dial to show the readings and get the difference.
Application 1. 4 218
5 minutes 2. 4 732
B. Miralyn’s records of her family’s water consumption reads this way: initial reading
0031.495, January 0042.180 February, 0053.921
Answer the questions: What was the average monthly consumption of Miralyn’s family?
What is the equivalent in cubic meter?
5. Assessment: (indicate whether it is thru Observation and/ or Talking/conferencing to learners and/or
Analysis of Learner’s Products and/or Tests)
A. Give the Reading. Then give the electric consumption.
