III. Learning Procedure

A. Preparatory Activity
1. Daily Routine
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance

2. Review
What was our lesson yesterday?
How many seconds in 1 minute?
How many minutes in 1 hour?

3. Motivation
The teacher will show and talk about the picture of a girl cleaning
alone in the school ground.
Ask:
What have you observed in this picture?
How about you, do you also work without being told or when
no one is watching?

B. Presentation
Present this situation to the class.

The ground of Castro Elementary School is planted with mangoes. Lorena

and her group mates started to clean the ground at exactly 6:12 a.m. They
finished cleaning at around 6:48 a.m. about how many minutes did they
spend cleaning the school ground?

Ask:
What are the girls doing?
At what time did they start and finish cleaning?
What is asked in the problem?

 Rod jogs everyday around the park. This morning, he started jogging at
6:40a.m. and ended at 7:19a.m. About how long did he jog this morning?

Ask:
Who jogs around the park every day?
What time he started jogging?
What time he ends his jogging?
What is asked in the problem?

Estimated elapsed time Actual elapsed time

1hr = 60min 1hr= 60min
7:19 7:20 = 6:80 7:19 = 7:19 = 6:79
-6:40 6:40 -6:40 -6:40 -6:42
0:40 mins 0:37 mins

C. Activity
The class will be divided into two groups. Each group will solve the given
problem. They will be given 10 mins to do the activity.

G1. The Tabilang family arrived in Baluarte at 10:28 in the morning. They
left their house at 10:05 a.m.
Estimated elapsed time:
Actual elapsed time:

G2. Lolita started eating her dinner at 6:35pm and finished eating at 7:03
pm.
Estimated elapsed time:
Actual elapsed time:

D. Analysis/Abstraction
The teacher will use the outputs of the two groups that is posted on the
board then continue the lesson.
Ask:
Is there a difference between the actual elapsed time and estimated
elapsed time?
How did you estimate time in minutes?

E. Generalization
Lead the pupils to give the following generalization by asking:
How do we estimate the elapsed time in minutes?

To estimate the elapsed time, round the minutes in the time ended
and time started to tens. Then, find the difference

F. Application
Find the estimated and actual elapsed time in the situation inside the box.

Lorena and Ian started working on their project in music after their
classes in the afternoon at 5:30 pm. They finished their project at 6:05
pm.
Estimated elapsed time:
Actual elapsed time:
IV. Evaluation
Complete the table by filling the estimated elapsed time.

Time started Time ended Estimated elapsed time

12:09 pm 12:34 pm

3:48 pm 3:56 pm

V. Assignment
Write the Actual elapsed time inside the oblong and the estimated elapsed time
in the rectangle.
