A. Reviewing Show two pictures of forest:
previous lesson or
presenting the 1. Virgin forest
new lesson 2. Deforested
(5 minutes) Ask:
What do these pictures tell us? Answers vary
Comment to the students’ answers.
B. Establishing a Say: Students listen
purpose for the
lesson As Filipinos, we need to take the problem of
deforestration seriously. Just like in Mathematics, we
(3 minutes) have to solve the word problems seriously. For
today’s lesson, we will be solving problems involving
polynomial functions.
C. Presenting Say:

For the two pictures which was presented awhile
instances of the
new lesson ago, it was all about the deforestration problem in
the Philippines.

D. Discussing new Give the following as task to do for the students. Students will
concepts and answer the task
practice new skills Answer by group the following: with their group
#1 Questions/Tasks: mates.
(10 minutes) a. Using the graph, what is the approximate forest
cover during the year 1940?
b. Compare the forest cover in 1987 (as given in the
table) to the forest cover given by the polynomial
function. Why are these values not exactly the
same?
c. Do you think you can use the polynomial to predict
the forest cover in the year 2100? Why or why not?
Discuss the answers to the tasks by asking randomly
a group to share to the class their answers.
Interact with
the teacher’s
discussion
E. Discussing new Give the second problem:

#2 Allow them to answer the task by group.
(15 minutes)
The members of a group of packaging designers of a
gift shop are looking for a precise procedure to make
an open rectangular box with a volume of 560 cubic
inches from a 24-inch by 18-inch rectangular piece of
material. The main problem is how to identify the
side of identical squares to be cut from the four
corners of the rectangular sheet so that such box can
be made.
Question/Task: Suppose you are chosen as the group
who will have to present the answer to this task.
What will you do to meet the specifications needed
for the box? Show a mathematical solution.
After 10 minutes, facilitate the checking of their
answers.
