Contextualized Lesson Plan in Math VI

     The trend nowadays is to make teaching and learning process contextualized. This way learners can relate and find meaning to the lessons presented to them. Here is an example of a contextualized lesson plan in Math utilizing the different plazas found in our city. Please forgive me if the figures are not present..hehe.. Hopefully you will still find this useful.

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards	The learner demonstrates understanding of rate and speed, and of area and surface area of plane and sold/space figures
B. Performance Standards	The learner is able to apply knowledge of speed, area and surface area of plane and solid/space figures in mathematical problems and real-life situations
C. Learning Competency/Objectives	Finds the area of composite figures formed by any two or more of the following: triangle, square, rectangle, circle and semi-circle
II.  CONTENT	Area of composite figures formed by any two or more of the following: triangle, square, rectangle, circle and semi-circle
III. LEARNING RESOURCES
A. References	M6ME-IIIH-89
1. Teaching Guide Pages
2. Learner’s Materials Pages
3. Textbook Pages
4. Additional Materials from Learning Resources Portal
B. Other Learning Resources
IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing the previous lesson or presenting the new lesson	Ask: a)      Who have gone to different plazas in Iloilo City? b)      Can you identify in what district can we find the plaza in the picture? c)       What do you usually see in a plaza? Present the following problem: A plot in Lapaz Plaza is in a shape of the figure below: What is  the area of the plot?
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson	In today’s lesson, we will learn how to solve the area of composite figures formed by any two or more of the following: triangle, square, rectangle, circle and semi-circle. We will also get to appreciate the beauty of our very own plazas around the city of Iloilo.
C. Presenting examples/ instances of the new lesson	Brainstorm among students what figures compose the plot. Guide them to realize that the plot is formed with a rectangle and a semi-circle. Provide other examples of composite figures formed by combining two or more figures.
D. Discussing new concept and practicing of new skills	Let students discover that to solve the problem, they need to find the area of the two figures composing the plot then add their answers. Area of the Plot= Area of the Rectangle + Area of the Semi-Circle Figure 1: Rectangle A= l x w A= 5 m x 3 m A= 15 m2 Figure 2: Semi-Circle A=  A=   A= 9.81 m2 Area of the Plot= 15 m2  + 9.81 m2 = 24.81 m2
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills
F. Developing Mastery (Leads to Formative Assessment	Show the following picture? a)      What plaza is in the picture? b)      What figures do you think compose the flower plot? c)       What do you think is the area of the flower plot if it is in the figure below:
G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living	Valuing: a)      When you go to a plaza, what do you usually do? b)      Do you think plazas are important to a city? Why? c)       How can plazas boost the economy and tourism of a district? d)      What should we do to maintain the beauty of our plazas?
H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson	How do we find the area of composite figures formed by any two or more of the following: triangle, square, rectangle, circle and semi-circle?
I. Evaluative Learning	In Jaro Plaza, a gazeebo is hexagonal in shape.  What is the area of the gazeebo with the following dimensions:
J. Additional activities for application and remediation	In Mandurriao plaza, the local government plans to construct a concrete wall in a shape shown below: If it needs to be painted, what is the area of the wall?
V. REMARKS
VI. REFLECTION
A. No. of learners who earned 80% in the evaluation
No. of learners who required additional activities for remediation who scored below 80%
C. Did the remedial lessons work? No. of learners who have caught up with the lesson.
D. No. of learners who continue to require remediation
E. Which of my teaching strategies work well? Why did these work?
F. What difficulties did I encounter which my principal or superior can help me solve?
G. What innovation or localized materials did I use/discover which I wish to share with other teachers?

Uygongco Foundation Incorporated Scholars

     Hi there! Here I am again sharing my thoughts and reflections on another school year that has ended. 

     

     This year, I was assigned to be the adviser of the class in which majority are scholars of Uygoncgo Foundation  Incorporated. This foundation has been one of our school’s major stakeholders, and has given scholarships, provided feeding and educational programs and donated equipment and infrastructures to our school. One of the reasons why I decided to accept the advisership was the armchairs they donate to every class the UFI scholars are into. I was glad that they did donate armchairs for my classroom thus making it more comfortable and conducive to learning.

     This batch I must say was more manageable. I had less problems with regards to their absences and study habits since most of them are beneficiaries. Though the usual naughtiness was still there, I didn’t get stressed that much. Most of the parents were as well cooperative and were easy to deal with.

     This year, we also did some income generating activity because we planned to buy a TV set. We sold candies and fortunately, together with our PTA fund, we were able to acquire one. We were also thankful that the General PTA of our school sponsored the frame for our TV set to protect it from getting stolen.

     I am still teaching in a university after my class, so this year, I felt that my students were quite distant from me. This personal issue has been chronic and I have been thinking about this since last year. Before, I am used of having some students wait for me after class, but for this year, again, there were none. I actually had no time to stay at school after class because I needed to report to my moonlight class. I once again ended the school year feeling that I could have done this or that. I questioned myself if I have done enough, and if I really did leave a mark on their lives.

     If there is one thing that I learned for the school year is that the life of a teacher is a cycle. It goes round and round. Students come, students go. I have come to realize that I need to gradually accept this fact. This way, I won’t get saddened of my students leaving and at the same time embracing the idea that if they do move on to the next chapter of their lives, I myself must also move on.

P.S. Next year, I decided that I will no longer pursue my moonlight teaching job. Practically and professionally, the job was necessary, but personally, I felt unfulfilled. I hope I made the right decision and be positive for the coming school year.
