Unit Topic: Special Products – Rules on Finding Special Products

Content Standards: The learner demonstrates understanding of the key concepts on the
rules applied to finding special products.
Performance Standards: The learner formulates solutions to real –life problems involving
special products and analyzes these using a variety of strategies with utmost accuracy.
Big Ideas: Creating Rules and Recognizing Patterns
Essential Understanding( s): Patterns in finding special products facilitate the analysis of
the real-life situations.
Essential Questions:
Why do we need to study the rules in finding special products?
How are patterns used to analyze real-life problems involving special products?

Transfer Goal:
Students can independently use their learning to create their own rules by recognizing
patterns in dealing with real-life problems such as maximizing area.
SCENARIO:
Vehicle parking has been a perennial problem at DLSZ. The classic supply-
demand problem dictates that we should find an optimum way of compromising the
overflowing demand for parking space with the limited availability of parking area.

You are the Director for Administrative Services who is tasked to develop rules
on how to maximize the DLSZ Flagpole Parking Area.

Draw a plan and develop rules on how to maximize the number of vehicles and
be ready to present this to the school bus drivers, the employees and the school
administrators.
