Group Activity:
Mechanics:
1. Let’s divide the class into four (4)
groups.
2. I will give to each group a set of
steps in solving word problems.
3. Arrange the steps in correct order.
Correct Order
1. What is being asked?
2. What are the given facts?
3. What operation is needed to
solve the problem?
4. What is the correct number
sentence?
What made your group
successful in doing your group
activity?

Is cooperation important?
Why?
Who has a water tank at home?
Is the water inside it clean and
safe for drinking and even in
preparing your food?
Why is it important to use clean
and safe water?
How can you help in keeping the
water clean and safe?
Read the problem.

A water tank is 8 m long, 5 m wide, and 2 m


deep. How much water can it hold?

What is the length of the water tank? width?


height?
What is the shape of the water tank?

I need a volunteer to draw the figure of the


water tank and put the dimensions.
Solve the problem by
pair. Then, I will call some
pupils later to show their
solutions and answers on
the board.
How did you solve
the problem?
Use the 4-step plan in solving the problem.
1. Understand
- Know what is asked. - The amount of water the water tank can hold.
- 8 m long, 5 m wide, 2 m deep
- Know the given facts.

2. Plan
- Determine the operation or formula to use. - Multiplication
𝑽 = 𝒍×𝒘×𝒉

3. Solve
- Show how the solution is done. - 𝑽 = 𝒍×𝒘×𝒉
= 8𝒎 × 𝟓𝒎 × 𝟐𝒎
=80𝒎𝟑

4. Check and Look Back


- Verify if the answer is correct. - Use inverse operation.
80 ÷ 2 = 40
40 ÷ 5 = 8
The answer is correct.
Analyze and solve.
A swimming pool has a length
of 12 meters, a width of 6
meters, and a height of 10
meters. How much water is
needed to fill the swimming
pool?
How long is the swimming pool? wide?high?
How will you solve the problem?
We can solve the problem by following the 4-
step plan in solving word problems.
Use the 4-step plan in solving the problem.
1. Understand
>What is asked in the problem?
The amount of water needed to fill the swimming pool.
> Given facts
l=12m w=6m h=10m
2. Plan
> Operation or formula to be used
Multiplication/V=l x w x h
3. Solve
> Solution
V=l x w x h
= 12m x 6m x 10m
V=720m³
4. Check
> Check your answer
720 ÷ 10 = 72
72 ÷ 6 = 12
