III. Learning Activities

A. Preparatory Activities
Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

1. Prayer
2. Checking of Attendance
3. Review
In order to refresh your memory from our
past lesson, let us have an activity, entitled
Pick a Fries. Listen to the mechanics.
1. I have here a big fries, each piece of
this fries has a question. I will select a
student to come here in front to pick a
fries and answer the question written
on it.
2. The process will continue until last
piece of the fries is answered.

Questions:
1. What is the relation where each
element in the domain is related to
only one value in the range by some 1. It is a function ma’am.

5. What is the set of all possible values 5. It is the domain ma’am.

 that the variable x can take?

Very good.

4. Motivation
Now, let us have an activity called “Function
Machine”. The class will be divided into three
groups. Each group will be given materials
needed in this activity (manila paper, marker
and tape).
Listen to the mechanics.

1. I’ll be presenting a function machine

and a set of input to be process in the
machine.
2. Every member will help each other to
find the output in the given machine.
The first group to write and raise the
correct output will gain 1 point.
3. The group that will have the highest
score will be the winner.

2x +5

Questions:
1) If 7 goes into the machine, what
number comes out?

2) If 13 goes into the machine, what 1) 2(7) + 5 = 19

number comes out?

3) If -4 goes into the machine, what 2) 2(13) + 5 = 31

number comes out?
3) 2(−4¿ × 2 + 5 = −3
4) If 𝑥 goes into the machine, what
comes out?
4) 2(𝑥) + 5 = 2 x+5
5) If 2𝑥 goes into the machine, what
comes out?
5) 2(2𝑥) + 5 = 4𝑥+ 5
For those who got correct tap your shoulder
and say to yourself, you did great and for
those who got wrong tap your shoulder and
say, do much better next time.

Right. What value have you developed while

doing the activity?
The value that I develop is cooperation
Very good. Why is cooperation important in ma’am.
performing an activity?

Exactly. It is important because it can help us to finish

the activity successfully.

something to do with our lesson for today
which is Evaluating Functions.

Here are the learning objectives that you will

attain after our discussion.
At the end of the lesson the we will be able
to:
1. evaluate function;
2. solve problems involving function;
Think the functions as a function machine,
3. develop cooperation during
evaluating a function is analogous to
providing our machine a valid input. For discussion and group activity.
clearer understanding here is the definition of
Evaluating a function means replacing the

variable in the function, in this case x, with a
value from the function’s domain and
In short, we substitute the given value of x to computing for the result. To denote that we
evaluate the value of f (x) or y . are evaluating f at x for some x in the domain
of f, we write f (x).
Let us have an example, evaluate the
function f ( x )=2 x+1 if x=1.5.

What is the value of the given function?

f ( x )=2 x+1 if x=1.5
f (1.5 )=2 (1.5 )+1 f
Correct. For another example, evaluate y=
+1 (1.5 )=4
if x=7 2 x x−1 The value of the function f ( x )=2 x+1 if x=1.5
is 4.
Any volunteer to solve this on the board +1

State the value of y.

Exactly. Is it clear class?

3 minutes to do the activity.

Seatwork: Given f ( x )=2 x2−3 x+1,find the

following values
1. f (3 )
2. f (6 )

Kindly solve this on the board.

1. f ( x )=2 x2−3 x+1 f (3 )=2¿ f

(3 )=2 (9)−9+1 f (3
)=18−9+1
f (3 )=10

Excellent. Do you have any question? )=72−18+1 f (6
)=55
If there’s none, let’s apply the concept you’ve
learned in real life situation. None ma’am.
3. Application

In real-world, functions are mathematical

representations of many input-output
situations. Functions are widely used in
disciplines such as biology, chemistry,
economics, statistics and engineering.

For instance, how can we identify our daily

expenses if we aim to have a business?

Let us all solve that through group activity.

Listen to the mechanics

1. Analyze and solve the given word

problem by evaluating the function.
2. Write your answer on the strip of
manila paper provided for your group.
3. The first group to paste and got the
highest score will be the winner will
receive an additional 10 points for
participation.

Problem:
Your group decided to sell snacks in the
nearby school. In one day, your group
spends Php. 200 for rent and Php 25 for
each snack item you prepare. Your expenses Given: 100 snacks, 150
in a single day can be expressed as the snacks C ( x )=25 x+200 x=100
function C ( x )=25 x+200, where x is the C ( x )=25 x+200
number of snacks and C ( x ) is your daily
C (100)=25(100)+200
expenses in pesos. How much is your
expenses if the group prepare 100 snacks? C (100)=2500+200
150 snacks? C (100)=2700
The daily expenses if the group prepare 100
snacks is Php 2700.

x=150 C ( x )=25 x+200

C (150)=25(150)+200
C (150)=3750+200
C (150)=3950
The daily expenses if the group prepare 150
Excellent. Congratulations to the winning snacks is Php 3950.
group you will have an additional 10 points.
Don’t worry other groups I appreciated your
efforts that’s why you will receive an
additional 5 points for participation.

4. Generalization

To sum up our lesson for today, what have

you learned from our discussion?
 I learned the concept of evaluating functions.
Very good. Who can give other realization?

Correct. How can we evaluate a function There is a lot of application of evaluating

given the value of x? functions in real life situation.

Exactly. What values have you develop

during the discussion and activity? By substitution ma’am.

Precisely. Do you have questions and

clarifications regarding to our topic? I developed the value of cooperation ma’am.

If there’s none, prepare for a quiz.

None ma’am.
