5 E’s Technique in Teaching Mathematics
(RELATIONS and FUNCTIONS)
Name: CHARIS G. VASQUEZ
Subject: Approaches in Teaching Mathematics
Section: 3008
Objectives:
a. Recall the concept of Relations and Functions;
b. Demonstrate understanding of a functions; and
c. Construct mathematical models to represent real-life situation using functions,
including piece-wise functions.
1.ENGAGE
2.EXPLORE
3.EXPLAIN
“4 PICS 1 WORD”
(Teacher will show “4 PICS 1 WORD” which shows a machine using
PowerPoint presentation or printed materials.)
Let the students look at the pictures and let them guess the right
word.
Expected answer: MACHINES
The students will be group into 4 and they will be given an activity to
be done in 10 minutes.The directions and instructions are also given
to each group and after that, they will present their work in front.
They will be graded using a rubric. Students will be given 3 machines
and in each machine they are ask to provide of at least 10 inputs and
in each input list the corresponding output/s. Students will note
down their observations in the demonstration.
Students are asked to answer/explain the following questions:
1. Which of these machines, if you know the input, can you
determine a single or unique output?
2. Which of these machines is/are considered as a function and
which is not? Explain your answer/s.
3. How can we represent real-life situations as functions?
Students will explain their constructed ideas and represent it
through pictures/figures/graphs.

4. ELABORATE
5. EVALUATE
Based on the students answer, teacher elaborates on the concepts,
defines the terms, gives the working formula and solves problems on
it. Students will justify their observations, learns new concepts,
definition of terms, and solves problems.
(GROUP WORK)
The students will be divided into 4 groups. The first two groups will
be assigned to answer problem #1 and the last two groups will
answer problem #2. Each group will be given 5 minutes to solve the
problems on their assigned seats. After 5 minutes, each group will
present to the class their answer with solutions.
The students will demonstrate their understanding about the lesson on their own. The teacher will only
facilitates through use of appropriate questions.
Reflection
Students
It will help students build a strong foundation
of knowledge through active participation.
Teacher
Using the 5E technique, it will allow us
educators to create a unique learning
experience for students.
Questions:
1. How would you describe yourself as a mathematics teacher?
Ans. As a mathematics teacher, I can describe myself as a facilitator where I guide my
students as they learn new concepts. A constructivist.
2. How would you effectively engage your students into the teaching and learning process?
Ans. I will effectively engage my students into our teaching and learning process through
active learning. It may include strategies like interactive lecture, hands-on activities or
experiential learning, but it will be limited to these. I will consider ways to set clear
expectations, design effective evaluation strategies, and provide helpful feedback.
3. How would you change the traditional mindset of the learners regarding “mathematics is a
difficult subject” ?
Ans. By engaging them to active and fun learning.
