    Task Performance

    I. Polya’s Strategy

    1.) How many different rectangles with an area of 120 square units can be formed using unit squares?

    Understand the problem

    How many different rectangles with an area of 120 square units can be formed using unit square?

    Device a plan

    A sq²= L x W

    A= 120sq²

    Factors of 120sq²

    Carry out the plan

    8 different rectangles

    1 x 120 =120 5 x 24 =120

    2 x 60 =120 6 x 20 =120

    3 x 40 =120 8 x 15 =120

    4 x 30 =120 10 x 12=120

    Review the solution

    Double check all the factors if they are equal to 120sq²

    2.) Suppose 36 students signed up for classes during orientation session. If exactly 22 signed up for
    Chemistry and exactly 18 of them signed up for English, how many of them signed up for both Chemistry
    and English? How many of them signed for Chemistry only? How many of them signed up for English
    only?

    Understand the problem

    36 students signed up

    22 signed up for Chemistry

    18 signed up for English

    How many of them signed up for both chemistry and English?


    Device a plan

    List out 36 students then assign each for

    Chemistry, English or both

    Carry out the plan

    Signed up for both chemistry and English

    36 – 22 = 14

    18 – 14 = 4

    Review the solution

    English 18 – 4 = 14

    Chemistry 22 – 4 = 18

    Then,

    18 + 4 + 14 =36

    36=36

    3.) An online game tournament was facilitated and begins with 1024 players. Each game has 4 players,
    and in each game, only 1 winner will advance to the next round. How many games must be played to
    determine the winner?

    Understand the problem

    Out of 1024 players, each game has 4 players

    And only 1 winner will advance to the next round.

    How many games must be played to determine the winner?

    Device a plan

    We will need to divide 1024 by 4 until we get to the value of 1

    Carry out the plan

    1024 players ÷ 4 = 256 Games

    256 players ÷ 4 = 64 Games

    64 players ÷ 4 = 16 Games

    16 players ÷ 4 = 4 Games

    4 players ÷ 4 = 1 Game
    Out of this solution add all the games and 341 games will needed to be played in determining the
    winner.

    Review the solution

    256 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 1 = 341 games

    Double check if the variables are solved with its corresponding method.

    Based from the KenKen puzzle that I made, I followed the rules mentioned in the handouts
    where the smallest input should be 1, and the highest input should be equal to the number of rows and
    columns of the puzzle which is 6. I used Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and division to formulate
    the given, then after that I answered it. I also made sure there’s no repetition of input or number in the
    same column and row.
