Motivation
Discuss that the man in mystery picture is Henry Sy, the owner of SM Malls and the
richest man in the Philippines. Share his successful life story to the students.
Valuing: What do you think made Henry Sy successful? Was he wise in managing his
money? In what way can we manage and save our money?

Presentation
Present the following problem:
Joel went to a sale at SM. He saw a T-shirt that costs P350 with 20% discount.
How much is the discount? The sale price?
Define the terms discount, original/old price, discount rate and the sale/new price to
the students
Let students identify the terms in the given problem.
2) Analysis
Analyze the problem using block model approach.
80% 20%
(New/Sale Price) (Discount)
100%
(Old/Original Price)
3) Abstraction and Comparison
Have students derive the formula of solving the discount using Techan’s triangle.
P=BxR
Discount = Original Price x Discount Rate
Let students solve the problem using the derived formula.
Discount = Original Price x Discount Rate
o = P350 x 20%
o = P70
Sale Price = Original Price – Discount
o = P350 – P70
o = P280
Therefore, Joel got P70 discount and paid P280.
4) Application
Exercises (Pair-Share Activity)
Solve for the discount and the sale price of the following items:
Item Original Price Discount Rate
1. Blouse P400 50%
2. Pants P950 20%
3. Socks P90 15%
4. Cap P150 30%
5. Jacket P1200 10%
5) Generalization
Ask: What is the formula in solving discount? New/sale price?
