Project Overview
Projec t P lan Title: Mathematics Power/Fuel Patrol
Curriculum-Framing Questions
Essentia l Question - How do we Conserve Energy?
Unit Questions
1. Is there Mathematics in energy?
2. How do we relate mathematics toenergy?
3. What mathematical concepts are appliedin energy?
4. In what way can these mathematicalconcepts be used in energy?

“The 1st week of our electricity use was low. This was the start of the
project. The 2nd and 3rd weeks were the highest because we used air
conditioner every night. The more appliances were used the greater
was the electricity increase and the greater electricity is used the
higher was the bill increase so our budget was not enough. On the
4th to 7th weeks, we did not waste electricity. We did not watch TV for
a long period and we turned off the lights when not in use. We used
aircon from 9 to 12:00 midnight only.”(Dayto, Kristian P.)

Percentage Electricity and Transportation Expenses
The idea of energy conservation creates a wave inthe lives of some students in the school campus. Before the 2nd Quarter Examination started the number of students who adopted the project rose from 61 to 437 or a total of 437 households with a total of 2,871 KWH or P14,268.87 (at P4.97/KWH) savings.
1. Mathematics can be taught using computer technology as tool that attracts student participation and propels them towards greater learning.
This plan concludes that:
2. Using the technology helped them to understand concepts on Ratio, Proportion and Percent including the complexity behind Mathematics as a subject.
3. Their learning was further enhanced and created an opportunity for them to think more critically in connecting mathematics concepts
to real life situations which mold and guide them to become RESPONSIBLE students and prepare them to tackle the role of being GOOD CITIZENS in the community.
