It is illegal to use actual dimensions when producing a copy of any peso bill. The
actual peso bill measures 6 ¼ inches by 2 9/16 inches. The Trigo Company wants to
manufacture play money with the same proportion as the peso bills. If the
G. Finding practical company produces rectangular bills that are 5 cm by 2.1 cm, will the play money
applications of concepts meet the company’s specifications without violating the law? Explain? Why do you
and skills in daily living think it’s illegal to produce paper money of exactly the same dimensions?
Answer:
Yes, because they are not producing an actual size of the money. It is illegal to
produce money with the same dimensions because it is against the law and it can
lead to dishonesty.
The teacher summarizes the mathematical concepts by giving these ideas to the
students:
H. Making generalizations 1. The conversion factor is the quotient between the target dimension and
and abstractions about the initial dimension.
the lesson 2. The rate of increase or decrease is simply the quotient of the difference of
compared dimensions (target dimension minus initial dimension) divided
by the initial dimension.
The teacher lets the students answer the formative assessment by group.
