Teacher’s Activity
A. Preparatory Activities The teacher will have the following activities:
1. Greetings
2. Prayer
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Presentation of House Rules
B. Review The teacher will ask the following questions:
1. What is ratio?
2. It is comparison of quantities that considers different units?
C. Motivation 6 students read books over the course of one month. The number of
books each student read is as follows: 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, and 3.Find the
median.
Step 1: Organize the data, or arrange the numbers from smallest to
largest.
1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5
Step 2: Since the number of data values is even, the median will be
the mean value of the numbers found before and after the(n+1)/2
position.
(6+1)/2 position
Let’s simplify
7/2 position
Divide it
3.5 position
Step 3: The number found before the 3.5 position is 4 and the
number found after the 5.5 position is 6. Now, you need to find the
mean value.
D. Presentation of the Lesson The teacher will present the lesson of the day including the learning
objectives.
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a. describe a proportion;
b. solve a problem involving proportion; and
c. value the importance of ratio and proportion in daily life.
E. Activity The teacher will give a short activity to the students.
Examples:
In the proportion 1: 4 = 4: 40, 1 and 40 are the
extremes while 4 and 10 are the means.
a. Law of Proportion
There are several useful properties involving
proportions.
Means-Extremes Product Law of Proportion:
If 𝑎: 𝑏 = 𝑐: 𝑑, then 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏c
Example: Find the value of 𝑥 in the proportion
6 3
𝑥= 8.
Answer:
(3)(𝑥) = (6)(8)
3𝑥 = 48
48
𝑥=
3
𝒙 = 𝟏𝟔
Switch Means-Switch Extremes Law of
Proportion:
If 𝑎: 𝑏 = 𝑐: 𝑑, then 𝑎: 𝑐 = 𝑏: 𝑑 or 𝑑: 𝑏 = 𝑐:
Example:
1 4 2
= is equal to 1 = by switching the means.
2 8 4 8
1 4 2
= is equal to 8 = by switching the means.
2 8 4 1
Invert-Both-Sides Law of Proportion:
If 𝑎: 𝑏 = 𝑐: 𝑑, then 𝑏: 𝑎 = 𝑑: c
Example:
1 4 8
= is equal to 2 = by inverting both sides.
2 8 1 4
Denominator- Addition Law of Proportion:
If 𝑎: 𝑏 = 𝑐: 𝑑, then 𝑎 + 𝑏: 𝑏 = 𝑐 + 𝑑
Example:
1 4 4+8
= is equal to 1+2 = by adding the
2 8 2 8
denominator.
Denominator- Subtraction Law of
Proportion: If 𝑎: 𝑏 = 𝑐: 𝑑, then 𝑎 − 𝑏: 𝑏 = 𝑐 – 𝑑
Example:
1 4 4−8
= is equal to 1−2 = by subtracting
2 8 2 8
denominator.
Numerator-Denominator Sum Law of
Proportion:
If 𝑎: 𝑏 = 𝑐: 𝑑, then 𝑎 + 𝑐: 𝑏 + d
1 4
= is equal to 1+4 by numerator-denominator
2 8 2+8
sum.
A. Abstraction Activity 1:
Solve for the missing values in a proportion using the Cross
Multiplication Property or by Means-Extremes Property.
𝑥
1. Solve for the value of 𝑥 in 2 =
5 30
Solution:
5(𝑥) = (2)(30)
5𝑥 = 60
𝒙 = 𝟏𝟐
2. Solve for the value of 𝑏 in 5: 25 = 𝑏: 150
Solution:
(5)(150) = 25𝑏
2𝑏 = 750
𝒃 = 𝟑𝟎
⁄
2 5 4⁄5
3. Solve for the value of 𝑑 in =
6 𝑑
Solution:
4 6 2
( )( )= 𝑑
5 1 5
24 2
= 𝑑
5 5
2𝑑 = 24
𝑑 = 12
Generalizations:
1. What is Proportion?
2. If two ratios can be simplified into the same ratio, is it
called as proportion?
3. What are the 6 laws of proportion?
B. Application Activity 2: Group Activity
