Create problem involving Temperature in School and Home

help pupils to create problems involving temperature

1. Creates problems involving temperature with reasonable answers .

2. Drill Give the temperature when the mercury is: 1 . At the freezing point of water 2. At the boiling point of water 3. 10.5 degrees Celsius below the normal temperature 4. 25 degrees celsius above the freezing point of water 5. 1.5 degrees Celsius below the normal body temperature

3. Review Reading temperature using a thermometer

4. Motivation What does your mother do every time you have fever ?

5. Mother wants to find out if her son has fever. She got her thermometer and found out that the mercury level in the thermometer is at 38.5 degrees Celsius. T he normal body thermometer is 37.5 degrees Celsius. Presentation

6. How did you create problems? We familiarized ourselves with the mathematical concepts and their application to real-life situations. We thought of the type of problems we want to create. We read and studied some problems that we have solved and their solutions.  

7. Performing the Activities a. Divide the class into group of 5s. Using the problem presented, instruct the pupils to help each other solve the problem. Give them enough time to perform on it . b. After all the group had done with their output, ask somebody from the group the to discuss the solution done

8.       Group Activity Directions: Group the pupils into group of 5s. Encourage the group to create a problem based on the information given below . At the start of the marathon the thermometer registered a thermometer of 36 degrees Celsius. After the marathon, the temperature dropped by 4 degrees Celsius

9.         Do the activity by pairs . Directions: Create a problem with the data given below: a. Lhea’s today body temperature is 37.5 degrees Celsius Yesterday’s body temperature was 38.9 degrees Celsius Problem:_________ Solution: _________ b. Given: today’s temperature is 28.7 degrees Celsius Yesterday was 30.6 degrees Celsius Problem: __________ Solution: __________  

10. Steps in creating problems. 1. Familiarize yourself in the concepts. Think of an explanation to everyday life real situations. 2. Think of the type of problem you want to create and the formula to be used. Relate the problem to real life situations. 3. Study the solution in solving the problems. 4. Make your own styles/strategies to justify the solutions .

11. Directions: Create problem using the data given below. a. Given: previous temperature of 30 degrees Celsius rises at 5 degrees Celsius Problem: __________ Solution: ____________ b. Given: Lino’s body temperature was 38.2 degrees Celsius in the morning, 39.5 degrees Celsius after 2 hours. Problem : ___________ Solution: __________ EVALUATION

12.           Home Activity Directions: Create problem using the data given below. Given: Temperature on four different days were: 29 degrees Celsius, 28 degrees Celsius, 27 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius Respectively. Problem: _________________ Solution: __________________
