Motivation:
Let’s study the following images (Show images of electric meter and
water meter.)
 Unlock the words:
Electric meter
Water meter
Dial

Let them read the meters (Guessing).

Presentation of the Lesson:

The images have something to do with our lesson for today because we
will be reading and interpreting electric and water meter readings.
B. Modeling (I Do) What is an electric meter?

An electric meter is a device that measures the energy

transformed from electrical sources to our devices at home. Most
electrical meters at home are located at a conspicuous place
outside of a residence for quick access by representatives of
electrical companies to do their monthly readings.

Reading an electric meter

Reading your electric meter is easy. There are two types of electric
meters being used by electric companies. One is the Digital Type
which indicates kilowatt-hour (kWh) readings by digital numbers. The
other is the Dial Type which is the most commonly used electric meter.
Consider the following readings and how the final reading is
determined.

Present Reading

Previous Reading

Present
Reading (kWh):
00199
Previous Reading (kWh):
00125
Electric Consumption:
74 kWh
An electric meter shows readings of energy. The unit of energy
reflected in an electric meter is the kiloWatt-hour (kW-h), a unit of
measure that reflects the product of power and time giving the
quantity, energy. In an electric meter, notice that there are five
dials and inside each dial is a pointer which indicates the number to
be read. The pointers will alternately turn clockwise and counter
clockwise. These dials measure the number of kilowatt-hour (kWh)
as devices are used for a particular period of time.

The illustration shows the following meter reading on each dial:

Dial E: The pointer is directly on the number 7. Record as 7.

Dial D: The pointer has just passed 4, and is between 4 and 5. Record
the lower value, 4.
Dial C: The next dial look like it is right on 8 but, the dial to its right
has not passed zero. So, record this as 7, the lower value.
Dial B: The pointer is between 2 and 3. Record the lower value which
the pointer just passed, 2.
Dial A: The dial has passed 6, and is between 6 and 7. Again, record
the lower value,6.
Thus, the electric meter reading is 62 747 kWh (kilowatt-hour).

Note: Always read the dials from the right to the left, starting from
Dial E to Dial A. Each dial will turn in the opposite direction, so if
your first dial turns clockwise, the second dial will turn
anticlockwise. Be sure to remember this when recording your
reading. In general, if the meter dial (arrow) is in between two
numbers, record the number with the lower value.

Taking a digital electric meter reading

On a digital meter you should record all the digits shown on the
display. It is not important to include any zeros at the beginning.
In the example,
the meter reading
is 9410.
 What is a Water Meter?

A water meter is a device that measures the volume of water

delivered to a property. Some water meters measure water in
gallons while others measure volumes in cubic feet. Most
residential water meters are located near the curb or sidewalk at
the front of the property in a concrete "box." The water meter
box will have a metal or plastic lid and may be marked, "Water
Meter."

Reading a Water Meter

The older style of water meter is with small dials. It looks like a series
of small clocks that turns clockwise, see the illustration that follows.
The unit used for this measurement is cubic meters (m3). The rules of
reading a water meter with dials are similar to the way an electric meter
is being read but with the rightmost having the greatest place value.

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. If the pointer appears to be exactly on a number, check
the next lower dial to the right to find out the correct
reading. If the dial on the right has passed zero, then
 use the smaller number on the dial you are reading.
3. Record the numbers from right to left as illustrated in
the previous page.
C. Guided Practice ( We A. Read and solve the following problems.
Do)
1. 1. The Dela Cruz Family closely monitors their electric consumption. The
figures below show the readings on their dials for the previous and present
month.

2.Irene’s record of her family’s water consumptions read this way:
