B. Review & Motivation

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
Before we start, let us try to recall the latest
topic through a game entitled “1 2 3 Go!” We
are going to use PowerPoint presentation for
this game.
You will work individually for the game. You
can use your numbers to raise that you are
think is the right answer. Your numbers will
be raise if I already say 123 Go! (The students will answer the given question.)

Motivation:

Before we proceed to our discussion proper,

let us play a game entitled “Read it, to reveal
it” In this game, we are going to use
randomizer to determine who will answer the
question.

You were given designated numbers in our

Math class. We will be using those numbers
to randomizer for us to know who will be the
one to answer.
Yes,Sir.
Are you familiar of the Wikarambulan
segment of Sunday Pinasaya?

Mechanics:
1. The answer is correct when part of a
picture will reveal.
2. Incorrect answer when no picture is
reveal.

For the first one to answer let us randomize.

Questions: The answer is variation

.
Bar – eye – shown The answer is quantity.

Que – anti – tea The answer is variables.

Bar – yeah – balls Relationship is the answer.

Joy – oint – lee The answer is jointly.

The word is joint variation.

Good job. A word is reveal after you answer
the questions. What is it?

Yes, joint variation.

We will encounter those words in our game
earlier for our discussion today.
 C. Lesson Proper
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
This topic, which is joint variation, is related to
the previous topic that is direct and inverse
variation.

Your knowledge about those topics will be

needed to further understand joint variation.

For an instance, the statement a varies jointly

as b and c meansa=kbc , where k is the
constant of variation.

What conclusion can you derive from the

statement? Joint variation will help as when we are
dealing with problems that involve two or
more variables or quantities.
Thank you. That is a nice conclusion.

Before we proceed in solving joint variation

problems, let us first have an activity on how to
translate joint variation problems into
mathematical sentence and I called it as,
“Practice makes perfect”. Just say to me the
answer and we will see if your answer is
correct.

I will flash the problems, what you are going to

do is to translate it into variation statement.
Yes, we are ready Sir.
Are you ready class?

Problem 1. The answer is s=krt .

s varies jointly as r and t

Problem 2.
The number of pages p varies jointly as the The answer is p=kbt .
number of books b and the number of story s.

The answer is m=kno.

Problem 3. M varies jointly as n and o.

Based on the activity, the first step in

Based on our activity, what do you think is the solving joint variation problem is to
first step in solving joint variation problem? translate the given variation problem into a
mathematical sentence or variation
statement.
That is right. Very good. When we are solving
joint variation problem, we need to translate it
first into variation statement.

Just like the other types of variation, we also

have steps to follow when we are solving joint
variation problem.
Steps in solving joint variation problems:
1. Translate the variation problem into
mathematical sentence or mathematical
equation.
2. Solve for the value of k or the constant
of variation.
3. Identify the equation of variation.
4. Solve for the missing value in the given
problem.

Since you are familiar on how to translate joint

variation problem into mathematical sentence,
let us now solve some of those joint variation
problem following the steps given.

Example 1.
a varies jointly as b and c, and a = 36 when b
=3 and c = 4. Find b when a = 36 and c = 6. The variation statement for this problem is
a=kbc .

Our first step is to translate the problem into

variation statement. In our problem, what is the Second step in solving joint variation
variation statement? problem is to find the constant of variation.

After we obtain the variation statement, what

do we need to do next? What is our second
step?

Good. Let us now solve for the constant of

variation. To find the constant of variation,
substitute the values of a, b, and c.

a=kbc
36=k (3)(4)
36=12 k
36 12k
=
12 12
3=k The value of k in our problem is 3.

Third step is to identify the equation of

variation. To obtain the equation, we are just
going to substitute the value of k in the
variation statement that isa=kbc . In our
problem, what is the value of k or the constant
of variation?

Substituting the value of k in our variation Last step, is to find the missing value.
statement will give us:
a=kbc
a=3 bc

We havea=3 bc .

What is the fourth and last step in solving joint

variation problem?

Yes, that is right. Very good. Thank you.

To solve for the missing value, we are going to

substitute the values of a and c in the equation
of variation to find the value of b.

a=3 bc
36=3(b)(6) Yes, Sir.
36 18b
=
18 18
2=b

Do you all understand?

That is great. Let us have another example. Our first step is to translate the problem into
variation statement.
Example 2.
Z varies jointly as x and y and z=60
when x=5 and y=6. Find z when x = 7 and y=6. The variation statement is z=kxy .

Again, what is the first step in solving joint

variation problem?

Yes, very good. Step 2, solve for the constant of variation.

Therefore, what is our variation statement for
this problem?

Very good. Thank you.

After we translate, what is the next step or the z=kxy

second step? 60=k (5)(6)
60=30 k
That is right. Very good. Next step is to solve 60 30 k
=
for the constant of variation. 30 30
2=k
Anyone who wants to solve for the constant of
variation or k? Substitute the values of x, y and z to the
variation statement then simplify.

Third step is to identify the equation of

Will you please explain, how did you get the variation.
value 2 as the constant of variation?

Good job. To obtain the equation of variation, we just

need to substitute the value of the constant
After we obtain the constant of variation, what of variation in the variation statement.
is our next step? z=kxy
z=2 xy .

How we can obtain the equation of variation?

Very good explanation. Thank you.

Since we already have the value of k that is our
constant of variation and the equation of
variation, we can now find the value of z given
the value of x, which is 7 and y that is equal to z=2 xy
 6. Anyone who wants to solve the value of z?
z=2(7)(6)
z=2 ( 42 )
z=84
Yes, Mark.

Very good. Good job.

V. Application
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
In this activity entitled “Random Picking”,
we will be using randomizer for us to know
who will be the one to pick a shoes and
answer.
You will be given five minutes to answer the Yes, Sir.
question, then, you will explain your work in
front. Is it clear?

Random Picking:
1. If E varies jointly as m and v. If e is
120 when m is 10 and v = 4, find e
when m = 5 and v = 8.
2. A varies jointly as b and h. If A = 65
when b = 10 and h = 13 c, find A
when b = 8 cm and h = 11.
3. W varies jointly as l and m. When l =
20 and the m = 10, w = 200. Find w
when the l is 15 and the m is 10.

IV. Valuing
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
I have here a video clip, all you need to do is (The students watch the video and observe
 to watch and be able to share your thoughts carefully.)
after the video clip.

Okay, after you watched the video, what you The video is all about the different culture in
observe in it? the Philippines.

Yes, that is right. What lesson do you get The lesson that I get from the video, even if
from the video clip? we do have different religion, tribes, and
language. We are still have something in
common and that is we are all Filipinos.

Yes, that is right. Just like in Math, we also

have variation in the Philippines. Culture here
in our country varies from region to region
but we also have the same denominator and
that is we are all Filipinos.

VI. Generalization
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity
I have here emojis, now, which emojis For me, I will describe our topic for today
represent your feelings for our topic today. using the heart emoticon because I love the
topic for today unlike the previous topic.
Thank you for sharing your opinion. Joint
variation said that the feeling is mutual.

How about the process? How we solved joint

variation problems? First, we need to translate the problem into
mathematical sentence and then solve for the
constant of variation then find the missing
value or what is being asked in the problem.
Okay, that is great. Do you have any
questions or clarifications regarding to our None, Sir.
topic?

I hope so. Since you do not have any

questions let us have a seatwork. Keep all
your notes.
