answers to the following questions:
Overarching EUs: Overarching EQs:
1. Complex real-life situations can be quantifies and simplifies using 1. How can complex real-life situations be quantified and
properties and laws of math. simplified mathematically?
2. The language of algebra allows the quantifiable real world to be 2. What are the limits of mathematical representation? Can
represented, and evaluated mathematically. everything be quantified and simplified?

Unit Level EUs: Unit Level EQs:

1. Directly and inversely real-life situations can be represented using
One-variable 1st degree equations and inequalities.
2. Relationships containing variables are neither true nor false
statements until a value for the variable is specified.
1. How do I Identify real-life situations that can be represented
using One-variable 1st degree equations and Inequalities?
2. How do I find the values which make relationship true?
3. How do the laws of math, like the APE/SPE and MPE/DPE,
help me to find an equivalent equation that is simpler than the
original equation?

Stage 2: Assessment Evidence

Transfer Task(s):
PT1:
Your school is planning to have an outreach program and all the clubs in your school is planning to raise money for the said program. Each club should be able to support
at least 5 families and each family should be given groceries worth P500. You’re a member of Math club and your club is planning to sell banana cakes and chocolate
brownies. How many and how much of each kind should you sell to be able to support at least 5 families in the outreach program?
As a group, your club moderator as you to make a report on the possible selling price and number of banana cakes and chocolate brownies you need sell to reach your
target number of families or go beyond for the outreach program of your school. Explain and make a written report about your recommendations to your club moderator
and other club members in a way that they will clearly understand. Include in your report the possible total expenses, at least 3 possible selling prices and the number of
banana cakes and chocolate brownies. Justify your recommendations by setting up equations.
PT2:
As an event coordinator in your school your group is tasked for the installation of chairs in your school’s theater that will be used in your family day. Your group is
planning to hire two companies to install the chairs. Company A can install chairs in a theater in 10 hours. Company B can install them in 12 hours. Your principal wants
the chairs installed 2 hours before the program. If the companies work together, can they install the chairs 3 hours before the program starts, if the program starts at
2:00pm and the company can start installing the chairs at 7am? If not, how fast should each company work in order to finish installing the chairs 2 hours before the
program starts? Present your findings to your principal on the possible rates and justify your recommendations by setting up equations.
