Preliminary Activity
a. Review:
“Before we start our lesson let’s have a recap
about our last topic….
Who would give me the title of our last topic?” Our last discussion was entitled
Algebraic Expressions and
Equations.

“So, what is the difference between the Algebraic expression is a

Equation from expression? mathematical phrase that uses
variables, numerals, and
operation symbols. On the other
hand, an algebraic equation is a
mathematical sentence with an
equal sign that shows that two
expressions on either side are
equal.

Very good, can you give me an example of an

equation? 4x + 5y = 9xy

In the given example of your classmates, can

you identify the variables and constants that
were used in the equation?” The constants used in the given
equation are numbers 4 and 5,
and the variables used are x and
y.
“Wow! Since you are being fantastic today,
give yourself a fantastic clap.” (The teacher
 will demo the fantastic clap in front)

ENGAGE
“Before we proceed to the discussion, let’s play a
game entitled, Hoolah-Hoolah Game”

Mechanics:

2. Each group should have participants to answer
each question. Each question has 2 choices or

3. The players would choose ‘head or tail” and
the teacher would toss a coin to determine who
would pick a question from the box.
4. The question will appear on the TV monitor
and the player will read it.
5. Each player would be given 1 minute to think
the answer.
6. The answer should be written on the board.
7. The player who answered first and got the
correct answer will be counted as 1 point.
8. A group that has the highest points will be the
winner and the calculated total points will be
added to the seatwork activity score.
9. Strictly NO COACHING.

“To the group who got the highest score,

congratulations. And to the other groups, I hope you
enjoyed it and better luck next time. Your score will be
added to your activity later”
EXPLORE
“Listen, everyone, can you give me an example of an
equation? 2k +(6b x 4b) = 20kb2

“The given equation consists of?” Different letters and numbers

“What do we call the numbers and the letters on the

equation?” We can be called the letter as
variables and the numbers are
constants.
Yes, A variable is any small letter of the English
alphabet or symbol that represents a number. For
example: a, b, c, d etc.

A constant has a fixed value that does not change. For

example: 2, -1, Ꙥ etc.

“Do you have any questions?” None Ma’am

EXPLAIN
“Let us try to dig deeper by studying the following
illustrative tables below. These tables will help you to
enrich your knowledge about the constants and
variables in the algebraic equation and expressions.”

Example 1:

Example 2:

“Let’s see how these tables will help you to the

following lessons.”

“From the previous lesson, you have learned how to

translate word phrases into algebraic expressions.

Here are some key words that are used to describe

common mathematical operations, in representing
quantities in real-life situations using algebraic
expressions and equations.”

“Let’s read and be familiarized with the following so

you are able to represents quantities in real-life
situations using algebraic expressions and equations”

ELABORATE
“Since we are now done reading, let’s try to illustrate
and read the following examples.”
 1. Janny bought 10 more apples.
2. Jon is 8 years older than Jhonel.
3. Joseph is twice as old as Joshua. Ten years
ago, he was four times as old as Joshua. Write
the algebraic equation for their ages ten years
ago.
4. Joseph is twice as old as Joshua. Ten years
ago, he was four times as old as Joshua. Write
the algebraic equation for their ages ten years
ago.
5. The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If
the perimeter is 90 m, find the length and the
width of the rectangle.

“Let’s get the algebraic expressions of the 5 examples.

I will explain and answer number one and then try to
answer the other's examples, I will call someone to
answer on the board. Understand?” Yes Ma’am

(it will be written on the board)

1. Janny bought 10 more apples.

“To get the algebraic expression of this, first Let n be

the number of apples it will be written like this;

n=

then next step, we need to identify what would be our

operational symbol. So, more is equivalent to adding
or increasing.

So, question class what would be the operational

symbol should we use based on this example?” We should addition or plus sign
as our operational symbol Ma’am
“Very good. So, it will be written like this;

n +10”

“Do you get it, class?” Yes Ma’am

“Okay, good. Anyone try to answer the example

number 2 and 3 on the board”
Answer:
2. Jon is 8 years older than Jhonel. x +8

“Let’s answer the number 3, we need to translate the

mathematical phrase into an algebraic equation”

3: Joseph is twice as old as Joshua. Ten years ago, he

was four times as old as Joshua. Write the algebraic
equation for their ages ten years ago.

“What would be our first step?”

 Let x = the age of Joshua
“Very good! Let x as the age of Joshua. Then the
second step would be?
” Identify the operational symbols
that used the mathematical
“Very Good. After we identified the operational phrase.
symbols what would be the next step?”
Identify the constants and
“Very good. Now, that we already identified all of it, variables.
we need to write it down”

2x -10 = 4(x -10)

“it says in the phrase that;

the age of Joshua = x

Joseph is twice as old as Joshua = 2x

Ten years ago, it meant it was in the past so, we need Subtraction or minus sign
to use what kind of operational symbol?

Very good, we are going to use the minus sign as an

operational symbol

four times as old as Joshua = 4x

that’s why we have this as the final answer, 2x -10 =

4(x -10)”

Answer the remaining examples.

4. Joseph is twice as old as Joshua. Ten years Answers:

ago, he was four times as old as Joshua. 4. n +140 = 3n + 60
Write the algebraic equation for their ages 5. 90 = 2n + n
ten years ago.
5. The length of a rectangle is twice its
width. If the perimeter is 90 m, find the
length and the width of the rectangle.
