LEARNING COMPETENCIES
The learner demonstrates understanding of the key
concepts of functions.
Accurately construct mathematical models to represent
real-life situations using functions.
The learner...

1. Represents real-life situations using functions,

including piece-wise functions
2. Evaluates a function
3. Performs addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division and composition of functions
4. Solves problems including functions

SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Explains what is a function

2. Finds the domain and range of a relation
3. Determine whether a relation is a function or a non-
function
4. Determine whether an equation represents a
function or a non-function
5. Use function notation and evaluate function
6. Relates functions to a real-life situations

PROCEDURE
INTRODUCTION/MOTIVATION/INSTRUCTION

ACTIVITY
1. The teacher conducts a review and asks the students
“What is a function as introduced during your Grade 8 Mathematics?”
2. The teacher presents a scenario where functional relationships exist. Solicit
additional real-life situations from the students

ANALYSIS
1. The teacher divides the students in groups where they will be given
different topics to brainstorm and came up with a creative presentation.
Here are the topics to be given:
a. Difference of function and relation
b. Function as a machine
c. Function and relation as a table of values
d. Function as a graph in Cartesian plane
e. Function as representations of real-life situations
f. Evaluation of Functions
2. She facilitates the students during their group discussions and adds some
 more information during the presentation of each group.

ABSTRACTION

1. The teacher asks the class the following questions for further discussions:
 What is a function?
 What is the difference of a function and a relation?
 What are the important things to take note about functions?
 Why is there a need to be careful in evaluating functions?
 How can we relate function in a real-life scenario? Cite some
examples.

APPLICATION

1. The teacher gives more examples on functions and students will be given
more exercises in evaluating functions.

EVALUATION

Answer the following:

1. Write 3 classroom scenarios that represent a function.
2. Evaluate the following:
a. x + 4 , where x = 5
b. 2x – 3, where x = -2
c. 5 – x , where x = -3
