GENERAL MATHEMATICS

3rd QUARTER PERFORMANCE TASK (50%)

PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION AND DETAILS

CAREFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY

Goal: To come up with 5 mathematical models of Piecewise Functions that can be

seen around the community.

Role: Researcher and Writer in a Mathematical Summit

Audience: Participants, and Panelists

Situation: The Mathematical Students Society of the Philippines is calling all math
enthusiasts all over the country to participate in the first ever Mathematical
Summit which is designed to select a group of Math enthusiasts who will represent
the country for the upcoming International Mathematical Conference. As members
of the group of Math enthusiasts, you are expected to construct a Mini-Journal
entitled "PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS: FROM CLASSROOM TO THE WORLD, showcasing
mathematical models representing real-life scenario.

The Journal follows the Inverted Pyramid Style in Writing a Journal.

Product: MINI-JOURNAL (SEE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES AND SAMPLE BELOW)

Standard: The students’ output/product will be graded based on mathematical

concepts and models, writing-organization, content accuracy, documentation
pictures. (SEE THE ANALYTIC RUBRIC FROM THE OTHER FILE)

SPECIFIC GUIDELINES:

A. NATURE OF PERFORMANCE TASK: Group/Collaborative

➢ Each group will have an assigned leader, and members are selected
systematically.

B. GUIDELINES OF THE PERFORMANCE TASK

Parts of the Journal:

i. The Lead

Introduction
✓ Discuss issues and scenarios that can be seen around the
community that focuses and relates to piecewise functions.
Ensure that these situations are taken from your mathematical
models.
✓ Provide notable citations for those issues and scenarios.
✓ Construct thought-provoking questions in the concluding
paragraph, with the interrogative words (What? Who? Where?
When? Why? How?) that will portray and link with the
importance in modelling Piecewise Functions (You may define
piecewise functions and its components as supporting details.)
✓ The ending statement must be captivating/catchy to motivate
readers to proceed reading the succeeding parts of your journal.
ii. The Body

Main Exposition
✓ Explore applications of Piecewise Functions that can be seen
around your local community. It can be at school or out-campus.
Come up with 5 mathematical models of Piecewise Functions of
those issues/scenarios. Each function must have a distinct
symbol or notation from other functions to distinguish it easily.
✓ Each Piecewise Function must be bulleted with a Lowercase
Roman Numeral, to divide the body into five sections.
✓ Each section must have the following:

1. Presentation of the Piecewise Function (Title for the section)

2. Narrative on how and where you encountered the
issue/scenario for the Piecewise Function.
3. Clear Pictures/Images as documentation, that will serve as
supporting evidence of your narrative. (Picture
Placement/Styles is encouraged).
4. Discussion on Modelling the Piecewise Function (How the
function was derived)
5. Create at least three exercises about the Piecewise Function,
and provide the solution and answer with conclusion
beneath the questions.

iii. The Tail

Reflection
✓ As a group, write your consolidated insights on at least one page
about Piecewise Functions and its real-life applications based on
your models.
- Emphasize the following:
1. Importance of Piecewise Functions to you and to the
Community
 2. Personal and Significant Insights on Modelling Piecewise
Functions

II. The Body:

 III. The Tail:
You may begin with: “In this section, we learned that”.

D. FINAL PRODUCT: Printed Output (Performance Task Content)

Paper Size: Long Bond Paper (8.5” x 13”)
What to Submit: Mini-Journal on Five Mathematical Models of Piecewise Functions

Submission Instructions:
1. Fasten output on a Long White Folder
2. Include Cover Page indicating Performance Task Title, Group Number,
Group Members, and other Submission Details.
3. Print and attach the RUBRIC (to be placed at the last page of the
output) with the submission details for Grading.

Where to Submit: Sir Karl’s Table (Left Table upon entering, in front of the TV;
Faculty Room, Math Department, Third Floor Science Complex)

E. DUE DATES OF SUBMISSION

When to Submit: March 18 – March 22
Submitting it before the due dates is acceptable. Submitting it after the due dates
will be subjected to deductions and might not be accepted or permitted.

General Note: Once you already complied all necessary requirements in the Third
Quarter, your quarterly grade will be finalized.
