Time: 12:30 – 4:30 Date: March 8, 2024

II. Session Details
Session Title: Mastering Word Problem
Session Objectives: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to understand, analyze, and
solve word problems effectively.

Key Concepts: Problem Solving: Word problems require critical thinking and problem-
solving skills to analyze the given information, identify the problem, and
develop a plan to solve it.
Mathematical Operations: Word problems often involve mathematical
operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
fractions, percentages, and more. Understanding these operations and
knowing when to apply them is crucial.
III. Facilitation Strategies
Components Duration Activities and Procedures
Pre-reading
Begin the lesson by explaining what a word problem is
Introduction and and why it's important in real-life situations.
10 mins
Warm-Up Preview the word problems that will be read during the
lesson, pointing out the key information that will be
needed to solve them.
Concept Exploration 15 mins During Reading:
Direct Instruction (15 minutes):
Read the word problems together as a class. Pause to
discuss and identify the key information in each problem.

The groups must work together to solve the word
problems, explaining each step of their process.
Valuing 20 mins Individual Practice (10 minutes):
Each student will be given a new set of word problems to
solve on their own.
They should write out each step of their process, showing
their work.
Activity Sheet: Solving Problems with Intercultural
Understanding

Write down your solution and any intercultural insights or
observations you have.

Problem 1:
Miguel is organizing a multicultural food festival. He wants to
have an equal representation of different cultures. There are
120 food stalls available. If Miguel wants to allocate 1/4 of the
stalls to Asian cuisine and 1/5 to African cuisine, how many
stalls will be allocated to each culture? How many stalls will be
left for other cultures?

Problem 2:
Maria is planning a trip to different countries for her summer
vacation. She wants to visit 3 countries in Asia, 2 countries
in Europe, and 1 country in South America. If she has a total of
30 vacation days, and she plans to spend 5 days in each
country, how many days will she have left for additional

Problem 3:
A school is organizing a cultural exchange program. They have
invited 8 students from Japan, 6 students from France, and 4
students from Mexico. If the students are divided into groups of
4 for activities, how many groups can be formed? Will there be
any students left ungrouped? How would you ensure that each
group represents a mix of cultures?

Problem 4:
Emma is learning about different cultural festivals around the
world. She wants to attend at least 3 festivals during her
summer break. If there are 5 festivals happening in her city,
how many different combinations of festivals can she attend?
How would attending these festivals contribute to her
intercultural understanding?

Problem 5:
A charity organization is collecting donations to support
education in different countries. They received P500 from a
local business, P300 from a community group, and P200 from
individual donors. If they want to distribute the donations
equally among 4 countries, how much money will each country
receive? How can the organization ensure that the funds are
allocated to countries with the greatest need?

Reflective Writing
Reflective Journaling 15 mins Ask students to individually write a short reflection on the key
concepts of the lesson.
