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 The teacher will give a short activity/game to students.
“Read the Words, Say the Word”
Directions:
The class shall be divided into fout groups.
A group of words will be flashed through Cartolina
paper.
The group will choose one representative to answer every
word on Cartolina Paper
Read silently the word or group of words.
Once you know the correct answer, raise your flag and say
the words before your final answer.
If you are incorrect, other groups have a chance to steal.
The group with the highest score shall take a reward.
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
Solution:
