A. Reviewing Previous
Lesson or Presenting
the New Lesson
 Estimate and give the appropriate units of
measure for volume of the following objects:
 B. Establishing a
Purpose for the Lesson
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?
C. Presenting Examples/
Instances of the Lesson
 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.
 D. Discussing New and
Practicing New Skills # 1
 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.
- Know the given facts.
- The amount of water the water tank
can hold.
- 8 m long, 5 m wide, 2 m deep

2. Plan
- Determine the operation or formula to - Multiplication
use. 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.
 E. Discussing New and
Practicing New Skills # 2
 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
F. Developing
Mastery
Guessing Game!
Mechanics:
1. Group yourselves into four (4).
2. Choose a volunteer to represent your
group.
3. Each volunteer will guess the correct
answer from the situations given by me.
4. Each correct answer will be given one (1)
point.
5. The group with the highest points wins.
Situations:
a. I am a cabinet which is 4 m long, 3 m wide, and 5
m high. How much space in a room will I occupy?
Answer: 60m³
b. I am a rectangular block of wood which is 12 cm
long, 10 cm wide and 5 cm thick. What is my volume?
Answer: 600cm³
c. I am a cube. Each of my edge measures 5m. What
is my volume?
Answer: 125m³
d. I am an open box. Each of my edge measures 10
cm. Find my volume.
Answer: 1000cm³
 G. Finding Practical
Applications of
Concepts and Skills in
Daily Living
Group Activity
Draw an illustration and solve.
Group 1: A pit is 7 dm long, 5 dm wide, and 8 dm
deep. How many cubic meters of sand will fill the
pit?
Group 2: A water tank is 6 m long, 3 m wide, and 10
m high. If the tank is half-full, how many cubic
centimeters of water does it hold?
Group 3: A container box measures 5 dm on each
edge. How much space can it hold?
Group 4: A 6 cm × 3 cm × 6 cm is half-filled with
salt. How much salt is still needed to completely fill
the container?
