II-Day 4
A. Content Standards
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of variations.
B. Performance Standards The learner is able to formulate and solve accurately problems involving variations.
Learning Objectives:
C. Learning Competencies/ 1. Solve for constant of variation (k) of situations involving inverse variations.
Objectives 2. Translates into variation statement a relationship involving inverse variation between two
quantities given by: (a) a table of values; (b) a mathematical equation; (c) a graph, and vice
versa.
3. Demonstrate appreciation of translating into variation statement a relationship between
two quantities as important skills needed to understand concepts of variations.
Review the previous lesson by letting the students’ play the “agree or disagree” game. Let
students answer the following questions.
a. Does a change in one quantity affect the change in the other?
b. What variation is involved in the relationships given?
Answer Key:
a. Yes, the change in the first quantity, causes a change in the other quantity
b. Inverse Variation
1-5 Agree
The teacher lets the students realize that translating into variation statement a relationship
B. Establishing a purpose
between two quantities is an important skill needed to understand concepts of variations.
for the lesson
The teacher lets the students, in groups of three, do Activity 10 on page 206 of the Learner’s
Module.
Answer Key:
1.
a. As the speed of the car increases, the time in travelling decreases.
k
b. s= , where, s is the speed in kph and t is the time in hours.
C. Presenting examples/ t
instances of the new c. Yes, in multiplying the values of the speed and time gives us the constant.
lesson 2.
a. The seesaw tends to balance as one of the kids moves closer or farther from the
fulcrum.
b. The heavier kid should move closer to the fulcrum in order to balance the lighter kid
on the other side of the seesaw.
c. The weight is inversely proportional to the distance from the fulcrum.
d. Yes, as one quantity increases, the other quantity decreases.
The teacher discusses with the students the process of arriving at the answer of each exercise
6. Discussing new concepts
in Activity 10. He/She tells them the activity is another situation to reinforce the background
and practicing new skills
knowledge that has been established about the concept on inverse variations.

and practicing new skills them determine the relationship of quantities from tables and graphs as presented on page
#2 206-207 of the Learner’s Module.
The teacher lets the students, in groups of three; do Activity 12: It’s Your Turn!, Test A numbers
1-3 only, Test B numbers 1, 2, 5 and 6 only on page 209-210 of the Learner’s Module.
Answer Key:

and skills in daily living
10. Making generalizations The teacher summarizes the mathematical concepts in translating into variation statement a
and abstractions about relationship involving inverse variation between two quantities given by: (a) a table of values;
the lesson (b) a mathematical equation; (c) a graph, and vice versa.
Inverse Variation occurs whenever a situation produces pairs of numbers whose product is constant.
c. Given a graph
The graph will not cross X-axis and Y-axis.
The graph never passes the origin.
The teacher lets the students answer individually the formative assessment.
B. Tell whether the relationship is an inverse variation. Find k and write the equation of
variation.
1. x 10 15 6 5
y 3 2 5 6
2. x 1 2 3 4
y 1 2 2/3 1/2
11. Evaluating Learning C. Tell whether the graph expresses an inverse variation. Find k and write the equation of
variation.
Answer key:
k
A. 1. r =
t
k
2. l =
w
k
3. a =
m
B.
30
1. An inverse variation, k = 30, y =
k
2. Not an inverse variation because the constant of
variation varies.

C. An inverse variation, k = 10, y =
k
