Week 1: DAY 1
How are you today? I hope that you
were able to relax and rest for a while after your first
periodic exam?
Look at the picture at the right? What do you

observe? Yes you’re correct. The two kids were
on a clinic for a check up.
In this time of pandemic in our country due

to COVID 19, I hope that you and your family
are safe and well not like the kids on the picture.
Let us start with this Exploration Activity 1.

What is the doctor doing with the girl? How about the nurse? What is she doing with the
boy in the picture?
Property of Pampanga High School - DepEd Division of City of San Fernando, Pampanga
Yes, you’re correct. The doctor is getting the pulse rate and temperature of the girl while
the nurse is getting the height of the boy.
Can you imagine what the world would be like without a system of measurement?
Measurement is a process of comparing an unknown quantity to a

standard known quantity. It is also a process by which human beings obtain useful
quantitative information about different physical aspects of objects such as length,
weight, area, volume, time and temperature.
The word “measure” comes from the Latin word “mensura” and from the
Greek word “metron”.
The idea of measurement involves the comparison of a measured quantity with another
quantity that is used as a unit to measure.
But do you know that during ancient times, parts of the human body and nature were
used as units of measure?
The units of measurement used in ancient times were chosen for convenience rather
than accuracy. Historical records indicate that the first units of length were based on people’s
hands, feet and arms. The hand, span, foot, digit, palm, pace and cubit appeared in the early
records of Babylonian and Egyptians. Our Filipino ancestors, on the other hand, used dangkal,
hakbang, talampakan and dakot. Some of the units are shown below.
SPAN – the distance from the tip of the little finger to the tip of the thumb of an outstretched
hand.
PALM – the distance across the base of the four fingers that form the palm.
DIGIT – the thickness or width of the index finger.
FOOT – the length of a foot.
CUBIT – the distance from the tip of the middle finger of the outstretched hand to the front of the
elbow.
PACE – the distance of one full step.
Many of these nonstandard units of measure have now become standardized. For
instance, a hand, which is used to measure horses, is now equivalent to 4 inches. A foot now
means 12 inches. A yard, which is used to mean the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of
the middle finger of his outstretched arm, is now equivalent to 3 feet or 36 inches.
TRY THIS 1: Using the nonstandard units measure the following. Write your
answers in your MATH NOTEBOOK.
1. Measure the length of your Mathematics notebook using palm.

2. Measure the height of your chair using span.
3. Measure the width of your bed using cubit.
4. Measure the length of your bedroom using pace
5. Measure the length of your ball pen using digit.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
As time passed, the systems of measurement
developed further in response to the needs of real-life
situations. The building of the pyramids of Egypt prompted
the need to develop formulas for the volume of pyramids.
Eventually, as commerce and trade flourished,
people realized the need to have common units to facilitate
communication about size, quantity and so on. This
prompted the development of standard systems of measures.
THE STANDARD SYSTEMS OF MEASURES

Two standard systems of measurement were developed:
a. English System – based on the British Imperial System. It is commonly used in U.S. and
was originally based on non-universal things such as human body parts

b. Metric System - is an internationally agreed decimal system of measurement created in

France in 1799. It is based on the multiples of 10. It uses Greek and Latin prefixes to make
conversion from one unit to another easier. A prefix is a power-of-ten exponent or multiplier that
precedes the unit.
Example: kilogram – kilo is the prefix and gram is the unit.

Milligram – milli is the prefix and gram is the unit.
The table below shows the Greek and Latin prefixes that are most frequently
used in the metric system.

Week 1: DAY 2 Approximate the Measures of Quantities (Length and Weight/ Mass)
If you want to know your height, what measuring tool will you use? Will you be using a
ruler? Or perhaps, will you be using a tape measure? Or meterstick?
Talking about height, which attribute or characteristic of an objects does it deal with? Is it
length? Weight? Time? Volume?
Yes, you got it right! The attribute of height is length.
Length, a physical quantity, is a measure of distance. The basic unit of length in the
SI system is the meter (m). The ruler, meterstick, and tape measure are often used
to measure the length of an object.
Larger and smaller units than the meter can be formed by using the prefixes found in the
Greek and Latin Prefixes table.

Most rulers have two calibrations – a 30-centimeter calibration on one side, and a 12-
inch scale on the other side. Measures such as the length of a pen, width of a book, and
thickness of a dictionary, are usually done with a ruler and expressed in centimeters. if English
system is used, then it is expressed in inches.
7.5 cm
15 cm
Example 1: Find the dimension of the rectangle below.
Solution:
The dimension of a rectangle are the length and the width. The length is the longer side
of the rectangle and the width is the shorter side.
In using the ruler, put the zero mark in one of the endpoints of the length. The measure
corresponds to the reading on the ruler where the other endpoint lies.
The rectangle above has a length of 10 cm and a width of 4 cm. If we will be using
15 9
English system of measurement, the length of the rectangle is 3 𝑖𝑛, while the width is 1 𝑖𝑛.
16 16
Another commonly used linear measuring device is the meterstick or yard stick.
Meterstick also has two calibrations, just like the ruler – 100-centimeter calibration on the front,
and 1000 millimeters at the back. While yard stick has 36-inch calibration on one side, and 1-
yard calibration in the other side.
Meterstick
Yard stick
Textile merchant selling cloth and students performing physics experiments use
metersticks. The dimension of a classroom can be determined by using a meter stick or yard
stick and expressed in terms of meters, inches, or foot.
Why do you think we use meterstick in measuring the dimension of a classroom instead
of a ruler? Try measuring your living room, or if you have your own room, measure the
dimension of your own room using a ruler.
Did you do it? How was your experience measuring your room using a ruler? Now, why
do you think we use meterstick in measuring your room?
Vernier caliper and micrometer are instruments used to measure thickness, diameter,
and other dimensions of small objects like thickness of a coin and diameter of a perfume bottle
cap.
Vernier caliper
Micrometer Thickness of a coin.
Diameter of a A Vernier caliper is

perfume bottle cap used to measure the
thickness of a coin.
It measures 2 mm.
For longer length and distances, surveyors and engineers use measuring tapes together
with surveying instruments usually mounted on a tripod. These measures are expressed in
kilometers. If we use English system of measurement, then the measures can also be
expressed in miles.
Example 2: Select the most appropriate unit for the following measurements.
a. Length: mm, cm, m, km
1. A pencil 3. Distance from Manila to Davao
2. Diameter of a medicine tablet 4. One lap in a swimming pool
6
Solution:
1. A pencil – cm. 3. Distance from Manila to Davao – km.
2. Diameter of a medicine tablet – mm. 4. One lap in a swimming pool – m.
b. Length: in (inch), ft (foot), yd (yard), mi (mile)

1. Dimension of a towel 2. Height of a room
Solution:
1. Dimension of a towel – in 2. Height of a room – ft
Example 3: Choose the best estimate for the length of each of the following:
1. The depth of the Mariana Trench – the deepest ocean trench in the world is about:
a. 500 m b. 5 km c. 11 km
2. The diameter of one-peso coin is about:
a. 2.5 mm b. 2.5 cm c. 5 cm
3. The Pagcor building is one of the four-story building in Pampanga High School and its
height is about:
a. 2.45 m b. 9.8 m c. 2.45 km
4. The diameter of the cap of a drinking tumbler is about:
a. 3 in b. 3.5 in c. 4 in
5. The height of a flagpole must not be equal or higher than the Independence Flagpole at
the Rizal Park, Manila, therefore the approximated height of a flagpole is:
a. 100 in b. 100 ft c. 100 mi
Solution:
1. Since, it is the deepest ocean trench, then we can say that it is about 11 km. 500 m
is not deep. While 5 km is not the deep compared to 11 km.
2. The diameter of one-peso coin is about 2.5 cm because 2.5 mm may just be its
thickness, while 5 cm is too big for a diameter of a one-peso coin.
3. The height of a floor in a building is estimated to be 2.45 m, since there are 4 floors
in Pagcor building, then it is about 9.8 m.
4. The diameter of the cap of a drinking tumbler is about 3 inches because having 3.5
inches as its diameter is quite big, while 4 in can already be a cap for a jug which is
big.
5. The height of the Independence Flagpole at the Rizal Park, Manila is 107 ft,
therefore a flagpole can have a height of 100 ft, 100 in is too small while 100 mi is
gigantic.
Example 4: Indicate the most suitable tool in measuring the length of the following:
1. Dining table 2. Notebook 3. Tip of the ballpen
Solution:
1. Meterstick 2. Ruler 3. Micrometer/ Vernier caliper
TRY THIS 2: A. Indicate the most suitable tool in measuring length and the measuring unit
for taking measurement of each of the following: Write your answers in your MATH
NOTEBOOK.
1. Dimension of a jewelry box 2. Diameter of a grain of salt
a. Tool: a. Tool:

B. Choose the best estimate of the length of each of the following:
1. The thickness of the cable wire of a cellphone charger is about: a. 3 mm b. 3 cm c. 3 m
2. The height of an average man is about: a. 168 cm b. 268 m c. 368 mm
3. The distance from the old public market in City of San Fernando to SM City Pampanga is
about: a. 3 km b. 4 mi c. 5 m
Now, check your work by turning to the key to correction.
A while ago, you were asked about the tool you would use in measuring your height.
Now, what would you use if you want to find out your weight? Yes, you are right! You will be
using a weighing scale.
But did you know that there are different kinds of weighing scale? There is a weighing
scale for human which we usually use. There is also a weighing scale for food which is called
kitchen scale, and a weighing scale for medicine which is called milligram scale.
Just like in length, we will also find out the appropriate tool in measuring the weight of an
object, and the appropriate measuring unit. We will also estimate the weight of different objects.
But before we do that, let us define weight and mass first.
Mass and weight are often interchangeably used but their meanings are not exactly the
same. Weight relates to the gravitational pull of the Earth upon a mass. Thus, a person’s weight
on Moon varies with his weight on Earth. Mass refers to the amount of matter contained in an
object. It remains the same regardless of location. However, on the surface of the Earth, and in
everyday life situations, the mass of an object is accurately estimated by weighing it.
The SI standard unit of mass is kilogram (kg), which is the weight of one liter of water at
4℃. A kilogram is equal to the mass of a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder kept in a vault at the
1
International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Sevres, France. The gram is of a
1000
kilogram. While the Imperial system (English system) standard unit of mass is pound. The
instruments commonly used to measure mass are the weighing scale and the balance (two pan
balance).
Objects like gold ring, a cup of sugar, and a small pack of peanuts are measures in
terms of grams for Metric system, and ounce (.oz) for English system.
A cup of sugar
Gold ring A small pack 4.5 .oz

Very light objects such as solid medicine quantity are measured in terms of milligrams.
Some medicine tablet weigh as low as 4 mg

and as much as 1000 mg.
Example 5: Select the most appropriate unit for the following measurement:
a. Weight: mg, g, kg
1. needle 2. banana 3. Your weight
b. Weight: .oz, lb
1. bottle of soda drink 2. bag of sand
Solution:
a. 1. needle – mg. 2. banana – g. 3. Your weight – kg.
b. 1. bottle of soda drink - .oz 2. bag of sand – lb
Example 6: Choose the best estimate for the mass/ weight of each of the following:
1. The average mass of an adult person is about:
a. 6 g b. 60 kg c. 600 cg
2. The weight of a grain of salt is about:
a. 1 mg b. 10 g c. 10 kg
3. The weight of a standard medium suitcase is about:
a. 5.4 mg b. 5.4 g c. 5.4 kg
4. The weight of a hard-boiled egg is about:
a. 1 lb b. 1.5 g c. 1.8 .oz
5. The weight of an average Asian elephant is about:
a. 3000 .oz b. 6000 g c. 9000 lb
Solution:
1. The average mass of an adult person is about 60 kg because 6 kg is just the weight of a
baby while 600 kg is a possible weight of one of the heaviest men on Earth.
2. The weight of a grain of salt is about 1 mg or it might be lower than that, therefore 10 mg
and 10 g is too heavy for a grain of salt.
3. The weight of a standard medium suitcase is about 5.4 kg, both 5.4 mg and 5.4 g are too
light to be a luggage.
4. The weight of a hard-boiled egg is about 1.8 .oz.
5. The weight of an average Asian elephant is about 9000 lb because 3000 .oz and 6000
.oz are too light for an elephant.

5. The weight of a bag of fruits is about: a. 1 g b. 2 lb c. 3 .oz
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
Week 1: DAY 3 Approximate the measures of quantities (volume and time)
Volume and capacity are used interchangeably, although strictly speaking, they mean
different thing. Volume refers to how much space a region takes up. It measures the three
dimensions: length x width x height. On the other hand, capacity refers to how much a container
will hold.
Shown below are examples of metric measurements of capacity and volume. The
commonly used metric units for capacity are the liter (L) and the millimeter (mL). The commonly
used metric units for volume are the cubic meter (m 3 or cu m) and the cubic centimeter (cm 3 or
cu cm).

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
MEASURING TEMPERATURE
Activity:
Kim, a Palawan resident, was packing his suitcase

for his trip to Canada for a month vacation. He googled
Canada weather and found out the average temperature
there is 60°F. Should he bring a sweater? What data
should Kim consider before making a decision?
Temperature refers to the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. The instrument

use for measuring the temperature is the thermometer.
Temperature can be measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).

For most scientific work, temperature is measured on the Celsius (C) scale. On this scale, the
freezing point of water is zero degrees (0°C), and the boiling point is 100 degrees (100°C).
This SI unit is of temperature is the Kelvin (K). On the Kelvin scale, zero is the coldest
possible temperature. It is also known as absolute zero which is equal to – 273° which is 273
degrees below the freezing point of water. Notice that degree symbols are not used with the
Kelvin scale.

There are many types of thermometer and all of them contain a material called mercury.
Also known as “the liquid metal”, mercury is an element that expands or contracts following
the hotness and coldness of a specific body or place. The temperature is suggested by the
corresponding marks into which the mercury stops at after being exposed to those conditions.
An outdoor thermometer is used to measure outside air temperature. It

may contain a red-dyed alcohol thermometer.
A clinical thermometer is used for measuring the temperature of

our body. This thermometer must have sufficient contact with the
body to have an accurate temperature reading.
Our normal body temperature is 37°C or 98.6°F, although

36.4°C and 37.2°C (97.5°F and 99°F) are considered to be within
the normal limits. The traditional type of clinical thermometers uses
mercury.
Another type is the digital thermometer
13
Did you know that…?
Galileo Galilei is credited for the invention of the

thermometer. However, the sealed thermometer was not invented
until about 1650. The modern alcohol and mercury thermometers
were invented by the German physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit. He
introduced the first widely used temperature scale that was named
after him. In his scale, 32°F is the freezing point of water, and
212°F is its boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.
Other temperature scales have been proposed since then. The
Centigrade, or Celsius, scale was devised by the Swedish astronomer Anders
Celsius and used in most countries of the world. In this scale, the freezing point
is 0°C, and the boiling point is 100°C.

RATE
Car A travels 320 km in 4 hours Car B travels 333 km in 4.5 hours
Which car travels faster?
To find out which car travels faster, let us find the rate at which each car travels.
14
Rate is a ratio of two measurements having different units of measurements.
When rate is simplified it has a denominator of 1, it is called a unit rate.
320 𝑘𝑚 333 𝑘𝑚
Car A’s rate = = 80 𝑘𝑝ℎ Car B’s rate = = 74 𝑘𝑝ℎ
4 ℎ𝑟 4.5 ℎ𝑟
Car A travels faster since it travels at a greater speed/rate.
SPEAKING MATHEMATICALLY In real life, do you think the car is able to

𝑘𝑚 travel at the same speed all the time? What
kph or means “kilometer per hour”. happens when the car comes to a stoplight
ℎ
or when it passes through a school zone or
when it makes a sharp curve?
In real life, a car is unlikely to travel at the same rate all the time. The speed that we
have calculated is actually the average speed. That is, the distance travelled by the car every
hour, on average.
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑

𝑨𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒆𝒅 = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑛
Let’s have another example.
Example 1. A horse runs 120 km in 3 hours.
a. Find its unit rate.

b. At this rate, how far does it run in 2 hours?
Solutions
120 𝑘𝑚
a. = 40 𝑘𝑝ℎ
3 ℎ𝑟
b. 40 km per hour x 2 hours = 80 km
Now, try solving Example 2.
Example 2
Find the unit rate.

An electrician took 4 hours to complete a job. He charged Php 200 for his service.
You should get Php 50 per hour.
Example 3
Select the most reasonable answer listed for each item.
1. The minimum speed of a car in certain highways like the SLEX and NLEX.
a. 60 kph b. 70 kph c. 80 kph d. 90 kph
2. The maximum car speed in school zones.
a. 10 kph b. 20 kph c. 30 kph d. 40 kph
15
If you get the correct answers you may proceed with Try This 9
If not, please go back to the previous examples and try it again.
TRY THIS 9: Find the unit rate in each case. Write your solutions and answers
