Presentation

Activity:

The teacher will divide the class into two

groups. The left and the right group. The
teacher will give each group a bunch of papers
containing with different parts of the words Students participate in the activity
they must build. From that, they must
assemble the word LEFT for the left group, and
the word RIGHT for the right group.

But the real purpose of the activity is to reveal

the words which are written at the back of the
puzzle. The word DEBIT for the LEFT group and
the word CREDIT for the RIGHT group. Students participate in the activity
This activity is made to give the students an
overview that in the business world LEFT is
associated with the word DEBIT and RIGHT for
CREDIT.

After the word building activity, the teacher

will start the discussion.

Abstraction:

Accounting is based on the double entry

system which means that the dual effects of
the business transaction are recorded.

A debit side entry must have a corresponding

credit side entry. Students listen attentively

For every transaction, there must be one or

more accounts debited and one or more
accounts credited.

Each transaction affects at least two accounts.

The total debits for a transaction must equal

the total credits.

An account is debited when an amount is

entered on the left side of the account and
credited when an amount is entered on the
right side.

Increases in assets are recorded as debits while

decreases in assets are recorded as credits.

Conversely, increases in liabilities and owner’s

equity are recorded by credits and decreases Students listen attentively
are entered as debits.

The rules of debit and credit for income and

expense accounts are based on the relationship
of these accounts to owner’s equity. Increases
in income are recorded as credits and
decreases as debits. Increases in expenses are
recorded as debits and decreases as credits
These are the rules of debits and credits.

Analysis:

In dealing with the topic (rules of debits and

credits), the students thinking skills will be
utilized through analysis of the different rules
of debits and credits and how to use it in
business transactions.

As the discussion goes on, the teacher will

asks the students to give the debits and credits
of each account and whether it increases or
