today
B. Priming/activity prior knowledge
1. Drill

Class find the answer to the following

multi operation mathematical
expression by connecting the expression
in column A to the corresponding
answer in column B.

A. B A B
(3)(8)-(14+10) 5 (3)(8)-(14+10) 5
(2+6)(2-3) 100 (2+6)(2-3) 100
(2×3)+4-5 -8 (2×3)+4-5 -8
(2+6)(2)-(-4) 3 (2+6)(2)-(-4) 3
(2)(3)/(3-1) 20 (2)(3)/(3-1) 20
{4+2+(24/6)}^2 0 {4+2+(24/6)}^2 0

Very Good!

2. Review

How do we solve multi operation Ma’am we solve multi operation

mathematical expression? mathematical expression by
following the rules of PEMDAS.
And what does PEMDAS stand for?

The student will state the answer.

That’s correct! We solve multi Parenthesis, exponent,
mathematical operation expression by multiplication, division, addition,
following the operation order subtraction.
 parenthesis, exponent, multiplication,
division, addition, subtraction.

C. Lesson development
1. Motivation/Activity

Class where do we usually hear the word Ma’am we hear substitution in

substitution? basketball, volletball etc

And how do we substitute in Ma’am the player is replaced by

basketball? another player.
That’s right!

Now class we will be having an activity

called “sub me in”

(The teacher will present the activity

“sub me in” in a manila paper.

Let
A=1 I=9 Q=17
B=2 J=10 R=18
C=3 K=11 S=19
D=4 L=12 T=20
E=5 M=13 U=21
F=6 N=14 V=22
G=7 O=15 W=23
H=8 P=16 X=24
Y=25
Z=26

Find the equivalent value of the given

words by substituting the numerical
value above to each letter of the word
and add all the numerical digits

For example:

H U M B L E
8+21+13+2+12+5=61

Do you get it class? Yes Ma’am.

Are you ready class? Yes ma’am we are ready!

Who would like to try the first word? The student will be called to
answer.

K N O W L E D G E
KNOWLEDGE 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96

Now for the second word.

HARDWORK HA R D W O R K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98

How about the last word?

ATTITUDE A T T I T U D E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100
 Very Good class, does have the same Yes Ma’am
answer?

2. Analysis

What did we do in our activity? Ma’am we find the numerical

value of the given words.

Correct. And how did we find the the Ma’am we substitute the
value of the given words? corressponding value in each
letter.

And then what is next? Ma’am we perform the indicated

operation, we add all the value.
Very Good!

Class when a number is substituted or

replace for the variable in a given
agebraic expression, the expression
takes a numerical value and finding the
value is what we call “evaluating the
Algebraic Expression”

Lets do this example

Evaluate 6x^2+3 when
A. X=0
B. X=-2
C. X=1/2

For letter A how do we evaluate? Ma’am we substitute the given

What shoud we do first? value of X in the equation.

Correct. Can someone show us how A student will be called to

to substitute the value of X in our substitute the value of X.
equation? 6 (0)^2+3

Now what is the next step? We perform the indicated

operations.

Since we got a multi operiation Ma’am we follow the rules of

equation what should we do? PEMDAS.

Excellent! Can someone 6 (0)^2+3

demonstrate on how to apply the 6 (0)+3
rules of PEMDAS in our equation? 0+3=3

That’s correct!

Now letter B, X=-2 who would like to A student will be called to answer.
try following the same steps? 6x^2+3
6 (-2)^2+3
6 (4)+3
24+3=27

And for the last example? X=1/2 6x^2+3

6 (1/2)^2+3
6 (1/4)+3
6/4+3
Following the rules in adding
dissimilar fractions.
6/4+12/4=18/4 or 9/2
 3. Abstraction
Now class, in evaluating algebraic 1.substitute the given value to the
expression what are the steps that we variable.
need to follow? 2.perform the indicated operation
by following the rules of PEMDAS.
Very Good!

4. Application

Now that you already know how to

evaluate algebraic expressions, we will
be having a group activity. I will divide
you into two groups. Each group will
choose their leaders. The leader will be
the one who can ask me about the
activity and he also responsible for
dividing the task between the members
of the group. Each group will be given an
activity envelope where you will find the
materials for the activity and the
expressions that your group will be
going to evaluate.

Now the group activity will be scored to

this standard.
