 What’s New

How much money does your mother give you every day for
your allowance? Do you spend all or you save some amount? Why
do you need to save?
Read the problem.
Ruby receives from her mother the amount of
₱30 as her daily allowance in school. She saves ₱5
for future expenses. How much does she save in a
month if there are 21 school days?

This is an example of a routine problem. Routine

problems are problems that have solutions which can be
immediately identified.

Try answering the given problem.

What is It

Let us see if we have the same answer.

To analyze and solve the problem, you can use these steps:

A. UNDERSTAND
1. Read and understand the problem.
2. Know what is asked in the problem.
Ruby’s savings in a month if there are 21 school days.
3. Find the necessary information.
The given facts: ₱5 – daily savings
21 – school days in a month

4
CO_Q1_Mathematics4_Module8
 ₱30 is not a necessary given fact because the focus is
savings not monthly allowance.

B. PLAN
1. Determine the operation to be used. MULTIPLICATION

2. Write the number sentence. 21 x ₱ 5 = □

C. SOLVE
Solve using the operation. 21
x 5
₱105

D. CHECK AND LOOK BACK

You can also use a

check.

Ruby saves ₱105 in a month.

This is how to solve routine problems. How about solving

non-routine problems? Go on with the next example.
Study the example and ask questions as necessary.

Study this problem.

In a school canteen, 4 students can sit in a square table.

How many students can sit in five square tables placed end to
end?

Solving non-routine
You can solve by drawing a picture. problems develops your
2 3 4 5 6 reasoning power. You
can use the following
1 7 strategies in solving non-
routine problems:
12 11 10 9 8 Listing, Making a Table,
Guess and Check,
Drawing/Diagram, Using
patterns, etc.

CO_Q1_Mathematics4_Module8
 Two end tables: 3 x 2 = 6 (3 students can sit)
Three inside tables: 2 x 3 = 6 (2 students can sit)

So, 12 students can sit in five square tables placed end to end.
What do you think is the best arrangement of the square tables such
that more students may be seated and the square tables are still
connected to each other?

You can solve this problem by making an illustration.

You can arrange the

tables by connecting
a corner of a table
(the vertex) to another
corner in such a way
that 4 students can
be seated at each
table as shown.

Therefore, the best arrangement of the square tables is corner

to corner wherein 4 students can be seated.

Now, you learn solving non-routine problems.

This time you are now ready for the activities.
LET’S GO!
