ORAL SCRIPT IN MATHEMATICS 5

Good morning everyone! Im Sean Emmanuel R. Bautista the educator consultant


of the Learn Zillion Company. I am assigned as the speaker to this big event of the Top
100 best mathematicians. The highlight of todays event is to discuss how to solve routine
or non-routine problems involving addition and subtraction of decimal numbers including
money. Allow me to share with you my knowledge on this matter.

To solve problems involving decimals, we can use Polyas four-step process:

1. Understand the Problem


What is the problem about?
Retell the problem.

2. Make a Plan
What strategies might you be able to use?

3. Carry out the Plan


How can you solve the problem?
Show your solution.
Make sure to label the answer.

4. Look Back
Check your answer by redoing your work.

May I then present this problem.

Warren saves 35.50 on Monday, 28.75 on Tuesday, 21.40 on Wednesday,


39.75 on Thursday and 75.25 on Friday from his allowance. From these savings will he be
able to buy a shirt costing 250.00? If he cannot, how much more has he to save?

And so if we use the Polyas 4-step process

1. We have to know what the problem is all about


(The savings of Warren from his allowance from Monday to Friday; if he can
buy a shirt from his savings; if not, how much more has he to save)

2. We have to make a plan


(Find out the total savings of Warren, using the process of addition, find out if
he can buy a shirt costing 250.00 or not, using the process of subtraction)

3. We have to solve the problem

35.50 savings of Warren on Monday


28.75 savings of Warren on Tuesday
+ 21.40 savings of Warren on Wednesday
39.75 savings of Warren on Thursday
75.25 savings of Warren on Friday
------------
200.65 Total savings of Warren
250.00 cost of shirt Warren wants to buy
- 200.65 Warrens savings
-------------
49.35 Warren has to save more

4. Let us now check the answer by redoing the computation.

After this discussion, it can be concluded you are 100% the best mathematicians. Thank
you and good day!
