C. Review Who remembers our lesson yesterday?
Me teacher, our lesson
yesterday was about the
difference of expression
from equation.
Very good!

Last meeting we discussed about difference of

expression from equation, now can you tell me the
difference of expression from equation?

Teacher, an expression has

no equal sign, no definite
answer, and cannot end up
displaying the value of the
variables involved. While an
equation contains equal
sign. It shows answer or
ends up representing the
value of the variable.

Very Good!

What do we call the letter or the symbol that represents

a number in an Algebraic Expression or equation?

Variable, teacher

Correct! How about the specific number in an Algebraic

Equation or Expression?

Constant, teacher

And a number that is being multiplied by a variable is?

Coefficient, teacher

That’s right!

Now, can you identify this mathematical phrase? N-11

Is this an expression or an equation?
 An expression, teacher

Correct! How about 5y-9=13 ? is this an expression or an

equation?

An equation, teacher

Good job everyone!

D. Motivation Before we proceed to our new topic, let us have a short
group activity first. I will group you into four, and each
group has to create 2 mathematical expressions using
addition and subtraction operation, and 2 mathematical
equation using multiplication and division operation.

After that, each group will read the equations and

expressions aloud, and 1 representative of ach group will
write on the board the exact phrase or words that you
just said.

Do you understand?
Yes teacher!

I will give you 7 minutes to do the activity. You may start

now.

E. Presenting (After doing the group activity the teacher will ask the
examples/instances of students few question)
the new lesson
What are the word phrases that you noticed that
indicates the operations in your expressions/equations?

“the sum of”

What operation are we going to use when we see the

phrase “the sum of”?
Addition

Very good! What are the other word phrases that you
noticed?
“The difference of”

What operation are we going to use when we see the

phrase “the difference of”?
 Subtraction

Correct! Are there more word phrases that you noticed?

Yes teacher

What are they?

“times” and “divided by”

And we use what operation when we see the word

“times”? Multiplication

How about the operation for the phrase “divided by”?

Division

Very good class! Good job! Now, let us know more the
other word or phrases that we can use in translating
numerical phrases into verbal phrases and vice versa.

F. Discussing new In the previous lessons you have learned how to

concepts and differentiate expression from equation. This time we will
practicing new skill focus on translating real-life verbal expressions and
equations into letters and vice versa.

Are you ready to learn?

Yes teacher!

To translate verbal expressions and equations into letters

or symbols and vice versa, familiarity with words and
phrases associated with symbols or operations are very
important.

Now, these are key words that might be useful in

translating word phrase to mathematical symbols.
Now let us try translating this word phrase:

“Three times a number increased by six is fifteen” “times” , “increased by” and
What are the word or phrases that we used? “is”

Correct! That means we are going to use what Multiplication and Addition
operations?

Equation teacher

That’s right! What do you think our numerical phrase will

be? Is it expression or equation? Because we have the word
“is”, meaning we have an
equal sign and we use equal
Why? only in mathematical
equations

Great job!

So now, to finally translate the verbal phrase we have to

get the quantities in our equation.

We have 3, “times” meaning multiply so let’s have a

multiplication symbol “x”, next is a “number” it is a
variable meaning it is unknown, so we will use a symbol
or a letter to represent the “number”, let us use letter
“n”, “increased by” meaning we will use addition “+”,
then “6”, “=” equal sign for “is”, and 15.
Let us write now the equation by arranging the numbers
and symbols.

3n + 6 = 15

As you noticed, I did not use the symbol for

multiplication because in math or algebra, if the number
and the variable or letter are abreast, that means it will
be multiplied. Yes teacher

Do you understand?

Next example is “a number diminished by eleven”

Subtraction
What operation are we going to use?

Correct! Let us translate it now

Let “n” be the number

So, n-11 is the answer

That is how you translate word phrases into Yes teacher

mathematical phrase. Do you get it?

How about we translate the numerical

expression/equation into a phrase?

Example:

3xn=9

We can read it as “Three times a number is equal to

nine” or “the product of 3 and a number is equal to nine”
since “product” pertains to multiplication.

Another example:

4n ÷ 5

It can be “the product of a number and 4 divided by five” Yes teacher

 Is it clear?

None, teacher
Do you have any questions or clarifications?
G. Developing Mastery Let us practice now what you have learned.

A. Translate the following verbal phrases into algebraic

expressions or equations:
1. five subtracted from twice z
2. a number p less eleven is fifty
3. fifteen decreased by a number p
4. the square of the product of x and y
5. the sum of six and twenty less five equals the number
z

B. Translate the following numerical

expressions/equations into word phrases:
1. 2x + 5
2. 5x – 8
3. 4 (y + 7)
4. 2n = 120
5. 42 = 16

Who wants to answer number 1?

Write your answers on the board.
(Students will raise their
hand)
H. Finding Practical For this group activity, you will collaborate again with
Application of your group mates. This time, I want you to create 10
Concepts and Skills numerical expressions/equations. After that, you will
exchange your paper with the other group and translate
the numerical expressions/equations that the other
group created.

Is my instruction clear?
Yes ma’am!

Go now to your perspective groups. Are you ready?

Yes ma’am!

You have 5 minutes to do the activity, your timer starts

now.

(After the given time, the

students will check each
others activity)
I. Making Before we end our discussion, let us have a recap.
generalization
What operation are we going to use if we see the phrase
“increased by”?
Addition!

What operation are we going to use if we see the phrase

“as the same as”?
Equal!

Very good! Now can you give a word or phrases that

associates with the multiplication operation?

Times

Correct! What more?

The product of
Multiplied by
Twice

That’s right! How about a word or phrases that

associates with the division operation?

Divided by
The ratio of
The quotient of

Great! Now, what do we call a mathematical phrase that

has no equal sign?

Expression

And a mathematical phrase that has an equal sign and a

definite answer is?

Equation

Good job everyone! Let’s do the GOOD JOB CLAP since

you all did a very good job!

G O O D J O B good job! Good job!
