The

Liza
Liza was
getting
ready for
the Sublian
Festival in
the town of
Rosario.
She needed to
acquire the
necessary Ethnic
Cloth for her
Folk dance
dress, and her
mother had
entrusted her
with this task.
With
determination,
Liza go to the
nearest cloth
seller's shop.
Upon arriving at
the shop, Liza
asked about the
price of the
Ethnic Cloth
suitable for her
dress.
The seller, a
friendly woman
named Rosa,
smiled and said,
"The price is
50.25 pesos per
square meter."
 Liza had already
calculated that
she needed 3.2
meters of cloth
for her dress, so
she asked Rosa
to calculate the
total for her.
Rosa quickly did
the math and
said, "Alright, for
3.2 meters of
cloth at 50.25
pesos per square
meter, the total
comes to 160.8
pesos."
Liza was calmed
to know the
total cost and
paid Rosa for the
cloth. She
thanked Rosa
and going back
home with the
precious fabric
in hand.
However, as Liza
walked home,
she realized that
she had
forgotten the
exact price for
the 3.2 meters
of cloth.
If you are in the
part of Liza and
your mother ask
you how much
the seller quoted
for the price,
what would your
response be?

Picture yourself as a Pirate treasure hunter; to reach the
treasure box, you must complete the assigned steps.
1. Get the treasure map with the clue card and determine the
destination you need to reach.
2. At each destination, you'll encounter a mathematical
problem (estimating decimal products). Your task is to

solve this equation to obtain a numerical answer.
3. Connect the numerical answer to the corresponding letter
on the provided choices.

UNLOCK
4. Write down the letter on a piece of paper.
5. As your group move from one destination to the next, you
will accumulate a series of letters.

IT RIGHT!
6. In the final destination, your group must arrange the
collected letters to form the hidden password.
7. Once the hidden word is formed, you must find the
corresponding key labeled with that word to unlock the
treasure box.
8. If the correct key is chosen, the treasure box can be
unlocked, revealing the prizes inside.

 REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS
Grocery Shopping: When
you go grocery shopping with
your parents, estimating the
total cost of items can be
useful. You can round the
prices to the nearest dollar or
cent and then estimate the
total cost before reaching the
checkout counter.
 REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS
Measurement: When you
are building something or
doing DIY projects, you might
need to estimate
measurements. For instance,
if you're building a bookshelf,
you can estimate the length
of the wood pieces you'll
need.
 REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS
Time Management:
Estimating time is also
important. You can use this
skill to estimate how long it
will take you to finish
homework, read a book, or
complete chores. This helps
you plan your day effectively.
