Lesson Plan in Problem Solving, Mathematical Investigation, and Modelling
I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards The learner demonstrates an understanding of problem-

solving, its application in mathematics education, and
the integration of problem-solving strategies within the
conceptual framework of the K to 12 Mathematics
Curriculum.
B. Performance Standard The learner can critically analyze problem-solving,
apply their knowledge to complex mathematical
problems, and evaluate their effectiveness in educational
settings.
C. The learner a) Define and critically assess the concept of
competencies/Objectives problem solving.
The learners shall be able to: b) Analyze the role of problem solving in
mathematics education and its impact on
learning outcomes.
c) Evaluate the alignment of problem-solving
approaches with the conceptual framework of the
K to 12 Mathematics Curriculum.

III. PROCEDURES
A.Preliminaries Activities  Prayer/Reflection

 Greetings
 Checking attendance
 Review of previous lesson
 Introduction to the day's topic
B. Motivation The teacher will ask students how they handle and solve
problems they encounter in life.
The teacher will then lead them to consider how these

problem-solving strategies are essential in different
contexts.
C. Lesson Proper
1. Activity (The Candy You have 24 pieces of that you want to share equally
Sharing Challenge) among 6 friends. How many pieces of candy will each
friend receive?
2. Analysis  What is the problem asking you to find out?
 What operation would you use to solve this
problem? Why?
 How did you solve the problem?
 Does your answer make sense?
3. Abstraction  The teacher will discuss the definition and
process of problem solving.
 Explore the role of problem solving in
mathematics education, particularly in fostering
critical thinking and deeper understanding.
 Analyze the K to 12 Mathematics Curriculum's
conceptual framework, emphasizing how
problem solving is integrated into curriculum
design and student learning objectives.
4. Application Activity: The Market Trip
Solve the problem using Polya’s 4-step Problem Solving

Framework.
You're at the market and need to buy some ingredients

for dinner. Here are the prices:
- Tomatoes: ₱35 per kilo

- Onions: ₱20 per kilo
- Garlic: ₱100 per kilo
- Chicken: ₱180 per kilo
You want to buy 1 kilo of tomatoes, 0.5 kilos of onions,

0.25 kilos of garlic, and 1.5 kilos of chicken. How much
will you spend in total?
IV. ASSESSMENT Instruction: For each problem, demonstrate your
understanding by clearly showing your work for each
step.
Problem 1:
You are planning a trip to the zoo with your family. You
need to buy tickets for 2 adults and 3 children. Adult
tickets cost ₱150 each, and children’s tickets cost ₱100
each. You also need to budget for ₱200 in food and
drinks. How much money will you need in total for your
trip to the zoo?
Problem 2:
You are baking a cake for a friend’s birthday. The recipe

calls for 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of butter,
and 3 eggs. You want to make a double batch of the
cake. How much of each ingredient will you need? (This
problem remains the same, as it does not involve
currency)
Problem 3:
You are saving money to buy a new video game that

costs ₱600. You have already saved ₱250. You can save
₱50 each week. How many weeks will it take you to
save enough money to buy the video game?
Criteria Points Description

Understanding 3 Clearly identify
the Problem the given
information and
the goal of the
problem.
Devise a Plan 3 Explain your
strategy for
solving the
problem,
including the
steps you will
take.
Carry Out the 6 Show your work
Plan for each step of
your plan, using
correct
mathematical
operations.
Look Back 3 Check your
answer to make
sure it is
reasonable and
makes sense in
the context of
the problem.
