I. OBJECTIVES
Knowledge Define dependent and independent variables.
Skill Determine the dependent and independent
variables.

and independent variables of a given function.

IV. PROCEDURES

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

A. Reviewing or presenting the new lesson 1. No
 Can you live without your parents? 2. The students’ raise their hands.
 Who among you lives with their parents? 3. dependent
 Therefore, are you dependent or independent
individual?
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
Variables may be dependent or dependent.
Dependent variable depends on the
independent variable while the independent
variable controls the dependent variable.
C. Presenting examples of the new lesson - My grades will be high.
Developmental Activity -I don’t have enough allowance for the next days.
 If you study hard, what will happen? -I will be fat.
 If you spend much of your allowance, what -I will tired.
will happen?
 If you eat much, what will happen?
 If you travelled long distance, what will
happen?

From the previous questions given to you, we

can determine the dependent and independent
variable.
In the first question, if you study hard, you said
you will get high scores on tests, so you will get
high grades.
In the second question, if you spend much of
your allowance, you said you will lose your
money.
In the third question, if you eat much, you said
you will gain weight.
In the fourth question, if you travelled long
distance, there is larger amount of gasoline to
be consumed.
From those given situations, can you
determine the dependent and independent
variables? How did you identify the dependent
and independent variables?

Let’s have other examples. Classify the

variables as dependent or independent.
1. cost of chicken and its weight
2. income of a worker and number of hours of
work
3. perimeter of a square and its side
4. In mathematical equation, like for example,
the linear function, y =3x-5. If x=1, what will be
the value of y? If x=0, what is y? If x=1, what is
y? In these cases, which are the dependent and
independent variables?
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing  Dependent variable is a mathematical
new skills #1 variable whose value is determined by that
What is dependent variable? of one or more other variables in a
What is independent variable? function. It depends on the independent
How can you differentiate the dependent variable.
and independent variable?  Independent variable is a mathematical
variable that is independent on the other
variables in an expression or function and
 whose value determines one or more of
the values of the other variables. It
controls the dependent variable.
 The variable x is considered the
independent variable because any value
could be assigned to it. However, the
variable y is the dependent variable
because its value depends on the value of
x.
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing
new skills #2
Fill in the blanks.
1. I consider the weight of chicken as a/an
________ variable because it ________ the
cost of chicken.
2. I consider the cost if chicken as a/an
________ variable because it ________ on the
weight of the chicken.
3. I consider the income of a worker as a/an
_______ variable because it ________ on the
number of hours the worker worked.
4. I consider the number of hours worked as
a/an ________ variable because it ________
the income of the worker.
5. I consider the perimeter of a square as a/an
________ variable because it ________ on the
length of its side.
6. I consider the length of the side of a square
as a/an ________ variable because it ________
the perimeter of the square.
F. Developing Mastery
(Group Activity)
Think of two quantities related to each other.
Identify the dependent and independent
variables. Give three examples. (You may
choose real life situations.)

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and

skills in daily living
From the three examples you have made in
“Independent Practice” (I Can Do This!) choose
one and conduct an interview, then make a table
of values and set of ordered pairs that will
represent/illustrate the function.
H. Making Generalizations and abstractions  Dependent variable is a mathematical
about the lesson variable whose value is determined by that
of one or more other variables in a
What is dependent and independent variable? function. It depends on the independent
variable.
 Independent variable is a mathematical
variable that is independent on the other
 variables in an expression or function and
whose value determines one or more of
the values of the other variables. It
controls the dependent variable.
 The variable x is considered the
independent variable because any value
could be assigned to it. However, the
variable y is the dependent variable
because its value depends on the value of
x.
I. Evaluating learning 1. a. 3kg=Php330
1. At a grocery store, the amount of dressed 2.5kg=Php275
chicken is Php 110 per kilogram. b. Cost of the chicken
a. Find the cost of dressed chicken for 3 2. Independent- Land
kilograms, and 2.5 kilograms. Dpendent- yields of crops
b. Which is the dependent variable?
2. In a Rice Productivity Program, a hectare of
land in Buenavista, General Trias, Cavite yields
an average of 120 cavans. What is the
dependent and independent variable?
J. Additional Activities for application or
remediation
1. Follow Up:
Give a situation that can help you determine the
dependent and independent variables.
2. Study:
Define:
a. Domain
b. Range
