Learning Competencies: Represents real-life situations using functions, including piece wise functions
M11GM-Ia-1 , Evaluate functions M11GM-Ia-2 and Solve problem involving functions M11GM-Ia-4
Grade Level: Senior High School – General Mathematics
Unit Topic: Functions (Piecewise Functions)
Estimated Time: 2–3 class periods or 1 week as a take-home project
G – Goal
Your goal is to analyze the Philippine tax system by constructing a piecewise function that
models how income tax is calculated based on income brackets. You will also interpret and
critically evaluate the fairness of the tax system.
R – Role
You are a mathematical analyst and informed taxpayer who will model the income tax system
using mathematical tools such as equations, tables, and graphs. You will also act as a citizen
critically evaluating whether the current system is equitable.
A – Audience
Your audience will be:
Your classmates and teacher, who will review your mathematical model.
A simulated panel from the Department of Finance, whom you will present your findings to, as
concerned Filipino citizens.
S – Situation
As future earners and contributors to the nation’s economy, understanding how income tax
works is crucial. The Philippine government uses a progressive tax system, where the amount
of tax you pay increases as your income increases. Your task is to research or use the provided

tax table, translate it into a piecewise function, and analyze its impact across different income
levels.
P – Product/Performance and Purpose
You will produce a comprehensive output consisting of:
The piecewise function representing the tax structure in the Philippines.
A table of values showing sample tax amounts for various incomes (e.g., ₱10,000, ₱30,000,
₱70,000, ₱150,000, ₱300,000, ₱500,000).
A graph of the piecewise function showing the relationship between income and tax.
A reflection or position paper/report (minimum 300 words) addressing:
Do you think the current tax system is fair?
Who benefits the most from the system? Who is most burdened?
Suggestions for improvement, if any.
You may present your work in a poster, slide presentation, or video report.
