Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each

SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you
need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of
the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check

will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And
read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.
 What I Need to Know

Good day Mathletes!

This module was designed and written to help you gain an understanding of
the skills needed in solving routine and non-routine problems using data presented
in a line graph. Routine problems are those that may be solved following standard
procedures; and non-routine problems are problems that can be solved with some
creativity and even without following standard steps or procedure.
So, what are you waiting for? Stay focused and start-up.
At the end of this module, you are expected to be able to solves routine and
non-routine problems using data presented in a line graph. (M5SP-IVh-4.5)
Before going any further, let us check your skills in solving routine and non-
routine problems using data presented in a line graph.

 Solving Routine and Non-
Lesson
Routine Problems Using
1 Data Presented in a Line
Graph
Routine problems are solved using a standard set of steps. On the other hand,
non-routine problems are solved with some creativity. Whether routine or non-
routine, problems are more easily solved when data are presented in a line graph.

In this module, you will learn how to solve routine and non-routine problems
using data presented in a line graph. Are you ready?

What’s In

In the previous lessons, you learned to read and interpret data presented in a
line graph.

The basic elements of the line graph, the title, the column and row headings,
the plotted points and the line connecting the points all help us analyze and interpret
data. Because line graphs are visual, changes as well as trends are also more easily
seen.

Before we proceed, let us refresh your memory. Study the line graph and
answer the questions that follow.

Directions: Interpret the data presented in the double-line graph.

What’s New

From the previous lesson, you learned how to interpret data presented in
either single-line or double-line graphs. In this module, you will learn to solve routine
and non-routine problems using data presented in a line graph.

Study the line graph below.

 What is It

Before answering questions about the line graph above, recall the steps in the
Four-step plan in solving problems. These are:
1) Understand: What is the problem asking? What are the given data? What
is the word clue?;
2) Plan: What operation is/are to be used? What is the mathematical
sentence?;
3) Solve: Solve the problem using the mathematical sentence; and
4) Check and Look Back: Check if the answer is correct and state the final
answer.

Answer the following questions using the data presented in the line graph
above.
1. What was the total sales for the first three months?

Step 1. Understand:
a. What is asked?
 Find out the total sales for the first three
b. What facts are needed to solve the problem?

Sales for the first 3 months:

January – Php 26,000
February- Php 20,000
March - Php 35,000

After getting the data from the table,

Step 2. Plan: What strategy can we use to solve the problem? Since the
data is asking for the total sales for the first 3 months, we can use addition.
It is now easy to make the mathematical sentence. We have, Total Sales
for the first three months, T,

T = January sales + February sales + March sales

Step 3. Solve.
T = 26,000 + 20,000 + 35,000 = Php 81,000

Step 4. Check and Look Back.

Solve and answer the following questions using the 4-step plan of solving
routine and non-routine problems.

1. How much more was Mr. Sanchez’s sales in March than his sales in
February?
 What is asked? How much more was Mr. Sanchez’s sales in March
than his sales in February

a. What facts are needed to solve the problem?

1. Sales for February – Php 20,000
2. Sales for March – Php 35,000

b. What operation will be used?

Subtraction (word clue: how much more)

c. What is the number sentence?

By how much was March Sales more than February sales (D)

D = March Sales – February Sales = Php 35,000 – Php 20,000 = Php

15,000

d. What is the complete answer?

35,000 – 20,000 = 15,000

Let us have another example:

Example 3:

What was his total sales from January to June?

a. What is asked?
o The total sales from January to June

6 CO_Q4_Mathematics 5_ Module 13
 b. What facts are needed to solve the problem?
Sales for:
January: 26,000
February: 20,000
March: 35,000
May: 15,000
April: 30,000
June: 42,000

c. What operation will be used?

o Addition (word clue: total)

d. What is the number sentence?

o 26,000+20,000+35,000+30,000+15,000+42,000 = n

e. What is the complete answer?

o 26,000+20,000+35,000+30,000+15,000+42,000
= 168,000

Example 4: (Involves two operations)

What was his average sales for the six-month period?

a. What is asked?
o The average sales for the six-month period.

b. What facts are needed to solve the problem?

Sales for:
January: 26,000
February: 20,000
March: 35,000
May: 15,000
April: 30,000
June: 42,000
January to June is 6 months.

c. What operation will be used?

Addition and Division

d. What is the number sentence?

Total Sales T:
T = 26,000 +20,000 +35,000 + 30,000 + 15,000 + 42,000
Average for the six months A = T/6

Solve:
T = 26,000 +20,000 +35,000 + 30,000 + 15,000 + 42,000
T = 168,000
A = T/6 = 168,000/6 = 28,000

 What I Can Do

Congratulations for having reached this far! Let’s try some real-life Data
presented in a line graph allow us to more easily see changes and trends in the values
of variables. There are occasions in our real lives when we have to solve problems
using data presented in line graphs. Some of these may be solved using standard
procedure or strategies. There are, however, instances when problems may not be
solved using these standard strategies. We therefore also need to be familiar with
some strategies to solve these non-routine problems.

Directions: Use the data presented in the line graph to solve and answer the
questions that follow.
