DAY 1: Percentage Increase
The lesson starts with an introduction to percentage increase, emphasizing its importance in everyday contexts like salary adjustments, price hikes, and sales.
Real-Life Examples:
Salary Increment: Students explore how a 10% raise on a ₱500 salary results in a new salary of ₱550.
Price Hikes: Understanding how a ₱20 toy increasing by 25% results in a new price of ₱25.
Grocery Prices: An increase of 10% on a ₱15 bag of apples raises the price to ₱16.50.
Gym Membership Fee: A 5% hike on a ₱40 fee results in a ₱42 payment.
Each problem follows a step-by-step calculation process:
Determine the percentage of the original value.
Add the increase to the original value.
Conclude the new amount.
This structure fosters consistent problem-solving habits among students.
Summary
The discussion reinforces the real-world relevance of understanding percentage increases. It frames mathematics as a tool for informed decision-making and financial awareness.
Quiz 3.1
A 10-item multiple choice quiz helps assess understanding of percentage increase through problems related to allowance, price changes, bonus points, and donations. Questions are designed to test not only computation but also logical application of the percentage increase concept.
