 Mental Computation
Give me a number that is…
D
a)one more than 9
R
b) one more than 99
I c)one more than 999
L
L What happens to 9 when you add 1?
R Lets review on place value and the
relationship of each digit to another
E digit in a given number.
V
I In 897, 516, 123, what is the place
E value of the underlined digits?

W
What are the electrical appliances you
have at home.
Which of these consume the most
electricity.
How much do you pay for your monthly
electric bill.
How would you help lessen your electric
consumption? Why?
Form a circle.

Move clockwise then counterclockwise.

Do the activity a few times.

PRESENTATIO
N
Mr. Dela Cruz is computing his monthly
electrical consumption. Based on his electric
bill, last month he was able to consume 00125
kWh. When he checked his digital electric
meter, the reading is 00199 kWh. How many
kilowatt-hours did Mr. Dela Cruz consume this
month?
 For us to get the amount of electricity that Mr.
Dela Cruz consumed, subtract the previous
electric meter reading from the present electric
meter reading.

00199-00125=74 kWh
So, Mr. Dela Cruz consumed 74 kWh of
electricity for this month.

Draw a dial to show the readings.
1. 5 035 4. 6 614
2. 5 148 5. 7 035
3. 6 524
Give the difference of:
1. 1 & 2
2. 3 & 4
3. 4 & 5
4. 1 & 3
Which has the greatest difference?
Which pair will have the biggest bill?
Explain
2.Study the table and compute the kwh
used.

Discussion:
a)Which household consumed the
most? the least?
b)Which two household consumed
almost the same kwh? What can you
say about their bill?
c)As a member of the household, how
can you lower your electric bill?
Why is it important to use electricity
wisely?

Generalization
How do the dials of the
electric meter move?

How do you read the dials

of a meter?
To read correctly:
Read the dials from left to right.
If the pointer is between the two
numbers, always take the lower
number.
If the pointer is directly over a
number, write down that one.
If the pointer falls between 9 and
0, write down 9 and reduce the
reading you've already taken for
the dial on it's left by one.
