Lesson Plan in Mathematics

Prepared by:

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to;

a. describes a proportion, means and extremes


b. use cross product to solve the missing term in a proportion
c. determine pair of ratios as proportion

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Understanding Proportion


References: Our World of Math pp. 268-269
Materials: power point
Values Focus: Appreciation of numbers and dedication to find solution

III. Procedure

A. Review
Let the students recall the lesson about ratios

B. Motivation
Engage the students to answer a world problem to build their understanding about
proportion

In a Math test, Lawrence scored 12 out of 15,


while in a Science test he got 16 out of 20

C. Presentation

In which subject did Lawrence perform better?


How can we get the answer?

D. Discussion

What is Proportion?

- proportion is the equality of two ratios.


- it is written in the form
a : b = c : d
means

extremes
Example:

12 : 15 = 16 : 20
it is read as ”12 is to 15 as 16 is to 20”
rename the two ratios in their lowest terms
both ratios are equal to 4:5
hence, the two ratios are equal

In any proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. It
is called law of proportion.

- The statement that two ratios are equal called Proportion.


Example:
12:15 = 16:20
*To prove that they are equal, cross product.

15 x 16 = 240
means
12 x 20 = 240
extremes
Each has an answer of 240.

- to solve the missing term in proportion, we can cross product or the law of
proportion.

Let say,
Find the n in the equation

7=n *find the product of the means and the extremes


3 9 *n is the unknown variable
3 * n = 7 *divide both
7=n
*9
3 9 sides by 3
3n = 63
3n = 63
3 3
n = 21

follow these guide steps.

Step1. Write the proportion in fraction form.


n = 10
3 15
Step2.Cross product the extremes and then the means.
Note that, we use the raised dot (.) for multiplication instead of x symbol.
n = 10
3 15 15 * n = 3 *10 15n = 30

Step3. Divide the left and right sides.


Note that the number beside the variable is the number we use to divide for both sides.

15n = 30 n=2
15 15

Now to determine if two ratios are propotion, replace n with 2, and then cross product.
2 = 10
2*15 = 30
3 15
3*10 = 30

Just remember that proportion is the equality of two ratios


therefore, the answer is correct for we got equal means and extremes

E. Generalization
Two equal ratios are called Proportion.
To get the missing term we use cross product.

IV. Evaluation

A. Direction: Find the value of n in each following proportions.


1. n : 4 = 3 : 6
2. 2 : 4 = n : 12
3. 8 : 12 = 10 : n
4. 5 : n = 1 : 2
5. 10 : 3 = n : 9
6. 3 : 7 = 24 : n
7. 7 : 3 = 48 : n
8. n : 9 = 18 : 2
9. n : 5 = 48 : 60
10. n : 10 = 18 : 5

B. Determine if the two pairs of ratios are proportion


1. 5 : 10 = 6 : 12
2. 2 : 2 = 6 : 9
3. 12 : 21 = 7 : 12
4. 6 : 28 = 3 : 14
5. 7 : 4 = 21 : 24
