Activity No. 1
Read the selection below, take note of the relevant information while reading and be ready
to answer the comprehension questions about the text afterwards.
Computers exist to benefit and assist people, not to replace them. Computers
cannot, for example, make emotional judgments, disobey instructions entered by
humans, read people's minds, or replace interpersonal relationships. On the contrary,
people must be extremely explicit in instructing a computer to perform even the
simplest commands. What computers can do, however, is extremely helpful. They can
Computers cannot be effective unless the people using them are able to identify
the results they need and how to achieve those results. Ultimately, computers are
dependent upon people.
Accordingly, people should not relinquish their decision-making
responsibilities to computers. Humans need to be on hand to interpret conditions
reported by computers, particularly if medical treatment, national defense, air traffic
control, or even loan processing is involved. Nonprogrammable, human factors must
complement computer read-outs for a complete and fair analysis.
At times computers may appear to make decisions. For example, in monitoring
a refinery (a site where substances such as oil are processed), a computer might trigger
a fire-extinguishing system. Another computer, used for monitoring vital signs, might
regulate the flow of oxygen to a patient. In both cases, however, although the computer
initiates action, it does not make a decision. Rather, the decisions of these process
control systems were made by the human beings who programmed the machines to
respond to a particular set of conditions. Therefore, people must take complete
responsibility for a computer's actions. They must anticipate all potential problems and
direct computers to avoid them.
While computers may be able to enhance a person's capabilities, they can never
adequately replace interpersonal relationships. Even the most sophisticated computing
machinery cannot supplant parent-to-child and teacher-to-student relationships.
Similarly, the rapport between physician and patient is essential for successful
treatment.
People, then, are an integral part of any computer system that accepts input,
processes it, and delivers output. People control computer systems through program
design, by monitoring operations, and by making final decisions based upon computer
output. They should not give up decision-making responsibilities because the human
qualities of analysis, reasoning, and compassion are required to interpret computer
delivered results.
Comprehension Questions
Read the following questions. Choose the letter of the best answer.
Context Clues are words that say, “Stop don’t touch that dictionary! The
definition of the word you don’t know is right here in the text!”
Let’s move on, do the next activity. Like in a mystery, you have to use the clues
to find the answer.
Activity No. 2
This task gives you the opportunity to use context clues to deduce the meaning
of certain words from the selection. The first sentence for each item comes from the
selection that you have read earlier and contains a vocabulary word, which appears in
italics. The second sentence is not from the selection, but it uses the vocabulary word
in the same sense as in the first sentence, and it contains additional context clues.
Choose the correct answer and write it on the blank before each number.
1. As you browse websites, you are able to scan them and read information from
them.
2. The central processing unit of computer interpret and carries output program
instructions.
3. You may store your files in an external or hard disk.
4. Malware is short for “malicious software” that causes damage to a computer,
server or computer network.
5. In most countries, QWERTY keyboards are used. QUERTY are the first six letters
on the upper row of the keyword.
Have you experience getting frustrated because you met unfamiliar vocabulary
words as you read? But jumping up and grabbing a dictionary takes too much time.
We need to take what we know and gather clues in the text to decode the meaning of
vocabulary.
Remember that context clues are hints that the author gives to help define a
difficult or unusual word. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word
to which it refers or it may follow in a preceding sentence. Most of your vocabulary is
gained through reading, it is important that you be able to recognize and take
advantage of context clues.
Let’s recall the types of context clues. There are at least four kinds of context
clues that are quite common.
1. Synonym
A synonym, or word with the same meaning is used in the sentence.
Example: My opponent’s argument is fallacious, misleading – plain wrong.
2. Antonym
A word or group of words that has the opposite meaning reveals the meaning of
an unknown term.
Example: Although some men are loquacious, others hardly talk at all.
3. Explanation
The unknown word is explained within the sentence or in a sentence
immediately preceding.
Example: The patient is so somnolent that she requires medication to help
her stay awake for more than a short time.
4. Example
Specific examples are used to define the term.
Example: Celestial bodies, such as the sun, moon and stars are governed by
predictable laws.

Lesson 2
Affixes and Roots
Your Learning Journey
As you continue with your journey, you will discover how a word change
its meaning by adding affixes in the word. In your previous lessons, word base is
introduced which will give you an idea about today’s lesson which will help you
the transformation of a word that leads to various meanings which is very
amazing.
If you are having difficulty in analyzing a word for its roots and affixes,
this lesson will help you to easily understand affixes and roots by defining
prefixes, roots, and suffixes using different examples and activities.
Once you familiarize and understand the roots and affixes, you can use
your knowledge with multiple situations and increase your vocabularies. On this
journey, you will acquire skills that will assist you to do your final task. Enjoy
the continuation of your learning journey.
Note: The words that you place in each roots are the root words. The look
and meaning of the root changes a prefix or suffix to it.
A root word is a word that can be made into new word. We make these
new words by adding letters to the front of a root word. We called these letters
a prefix. We can make new words by adding letter to the end of a root word.
We call these letter a suffix.
Example of Root Word: FAIR
add un to the front: unfair
add est to end: fairest
AFFIXES
Group of letters attach before and after the root word.
un+accept+able= unacceptable

Week 2 Day3 2
Lesson
Inferring meaning of borrowed words and context specific
terms (Math) using context clues.
Mathematical Concepts
Did you enjoy your previous activity sheets? I am sure you did.
Let’s learn more about words through jumbled letters.
1. Garrison-
2. Ample-
3. Clack-
4. Follicle-
5. Mendacious –
Answer the puzzle below and answer the questions that follow.
Comprehension check:
You should know that mathematical concepts are not strictly used in Mathematics lessons
but also in day to day activities and conversation that’s why we should also study these terms
in other subjects.
In Mathematics, you learned about these words already. Today, we are going to explore
more. Be ready for the tasks ahead.
We can infer or give the meaning of mathematical concept through context clues or by
understanding the whole sentence. Context clues are hints in the writing that help you figure out
what a word means.
Examples:
1. My favorite part of Mathematics is Geometry, where I can learn different flat and solid figures
as well as different measurement found on earth.
2. Mang Juan has a wide pentagonal garden, in which its five-sided shape attracts his friends
attention.
3. I bought a tank that has a shape of a cylinder or a roller.
4. The probability that a pregnant woman will give birth to a baby girl is fifty percent.
5. Joel’s father gave him a fraction of his massive land, and the remaining parts will be distributed
among his three brothers.
Yes, the italized mathematical concepts in sentences numbers 1, 2, 3 and 5 have hints and they
were underlined. Mathematical concept in sentence number 4 has no hints but it is understood
the meaning of probability is chance based from the sentence. With hints or without hints, we
can infer the meaning of borrowed words ( Mathematical concepts) through context clues or
by understanding the sentences.
Read the selection below, jot down all examples of mathematical concepts from it. Write
your answers inside clouds.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
_____5. proportion Figure with two congruent and parallel circular bases
It is important to understand mathematical concept because we may encounter them in
our daily conversation and activities. Borrowed words in mathematics can be
understood through context clues.
Directions: Read the following statements below. Draw on the blank if the statement is
correct. Write the correct mathematical statement on the blank if it is wrong.
____1. To get the product, we multiply the factors.
____ 2. Zero is not the lowest integer.
____ 3. Every pair of slippers must always be incongruent. _
____ 4. Mayon Volcano is in the shape of a sphere.
____ 5. A tent is a representation of a cylinder.

List down all the mathematical concepts that you can see in the picture below.
Write your answers inside the box at the right of the picture.
Match the words in column A with their meaning in column B by connecting using line.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
1. Equilateral -polygon with 3 sides
2. Decagon -the result of multiplication
3. Triangle -the result of division
4. Product - having the same sides
5. Quotient -polygon with 10 side
Complete the words below with –ice, kilo-, in- and tri.
Comprehension check:
1. Where did you add the syllables in the first 3 words?( Beginning, ending)
2. Where do you add syllable for the last word??(Beginning, ending)
3. What do you call the syllables that you added? _________
4. What do you call the words being added with the syllables? _______
There mathematical concepts with different affixes have different meaning even they have
the same root word.
We can infer or give the meaning of mathematical concept through roots and affixes.
Root is the part of a word to which affixes are added either at the beginning or end.
Affixes that are added at the beginning of the roots are called prefixes. Affixes that
are added to the end of the roots are called suffixes.
Examples:
Identify the roots and the affixes ( prefixes or suffixes ) of the following words by writing them in
the proper column.
It is important to identify the affixes and the roots of borrowed and unfamiliar words to be
able to infer the meaning and context those terms.
Predict me!
Color Me!
Match the color of column A with column B by matching the word with its meaning.
Be ready with your crayons.
