expression.
I. LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, the students are expected to:
a. define variable, constant, and other terms related to algebraic expressions;
b. sort and categorize algebraic expressions based on their components, such as terms, coefficients,
constants and variables; and
c. appreciate the importance of algebraic expression in real life situation.
II. SUBJECT MATTER

Material PowerPoint Presentation (PPT), cards, laptop
Time Frame: 45 minutes
III. LESSON PROPER
Preliminary Activities
a. Greetings
b. Opening Prayer
c. Review
1. How does your face look when someone asks you to show a happy expression?
2. What if someone asked you to give them an algebraic expression — what would you do?
d. Motivation. Jumbled Letters
1. Virabale – Variable
2. Tmer – Term
3. Cosntnat – Constant
4. Aglbera – Algebra
5. Epxersisno – Expression

A. ACTIVITY
Divide the students into three groups and ask them to sort the cards into the four labeled boxes
(variables, constants, coefficients, terms).
Numbers only 3, -5, 8
Letters only x, y, a
 Algebraic terms 4x, -2y, 5a

B. ANALYSIS
1. How was the activity?
2. What are the patterns did you observe when you are sorting a card into the four labeled boxes?
3. How did the activity help you understand algebraic expressions?
B. ABSTRACTION
 Algebraic Expression - a constant, a variable, or a combination of variables and constant
involving a finite number of indicated fundamental operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, evolution or radicals, involution or exponents) in algebra.
 Variable – a symbol that represents an unknown value such as x,y, a, α, β, θ, etc.
 Constant – is a symbol with exactly one number or a fixed value in its replacement set. Any
number is a constant such as 7, 4, and 11. Pi or π is also a constant with an approximate value
of 3.14.
 Term – a distinct part of an algebraic expression separated by a plus or minus sign, such as 4x²,
3y, or 2 in the expression 4x² + 3y + 2.
 Numerical factor- a term is called its numerical coefficient.
 Literal Coefficient - variable factor of a term.
Examples of Algebraic Expression:
7, 2x, -3y+4, 4x-3yz,

C. APPLICATION
Activity: “Algebra in My Savings”
 Anna wants to buy school supplies that cost ₱500. She already has ₱100, and she saves ₱50 per week.
Write an algebraic expression to represent her total savings after w weeks. Then, determine how many
weeks she needs to save to afford the school supplies.

IV. ASSESSMENT
Direction: Identify and analyze the algebraic expression by classifying terms, variable, constant or numerical
coefficient.

Algebraic Expression Term Variable Constant Numerical Coefficient

V. AGREEMENT
1. Study in advance translating verbal phrases to algebraic expressions
