B. Priming/Activating 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
(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) (2 + 6)(2) – (-4) 3

[4 + 2 + (24 /6)]2 [4 + 2 + (24 /6)]2 0
0

Very good!

2. Review

How do you solve multi operation mathematical Sir, we solve multi operation mathematical
expression? expression by the following the rules of
Very good! PEMDAS.

And what does PEMDAS stands for? The student will state the answer.
Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division,
Addition and Subtraction.
That is correct! We solve multi operation expression
by following the operation of Parenthesis, Exponent,
Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction.

C. Lesson Development

1. Motivation / Activity

Class, where do we usually hear the word Students will raise their hands.
substitution? Sir, we hear substitution in basketball,
volleyball, etc.

And how do we substitute in basketball? Sir, the player is replaced by another player.
That’s right.

Now class, we will be having an activity called

“Sub me in”.

(The teacher will present a PowerPoint

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

Find the equivalent value of the given words by

substituting the numerical value above to each
letter of the word and adding 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 sir.

Are you ready class? Yes sir, we are ready.

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

2. Analysis
Sir, we find the numerical value of the given
What did we do in our activity? words.

Sir, we substitute the corresponding value in

Correct, and how did we find the value of the each letter.
given words?
Sir perform the indicated operation, we add all
And then what’s next? the value.

Very good.

Class, when a number is substitute or replace

for the variable in a given algebraic expression,
the expression takes a numerical value. And
finding the value is what we call “Evaluating the
Algebraic Expression”.

Let’s do this example.

Evaluate 6x2 + 3 when
a. x = 0
b. x = -2
c. x = ½
Sir we substitute the given value of x in the
For letter a, how do we evaluate? equation.
What should we do first?
A student will be called to substitute the value
Correct. Can someone show us how to of x.
substitute the value of x in our equation? 6(0)2 + 3 =
Very good!
We perform the indicated operations.
Now what is the next step?
Sir we follow the rules of PEMDAS.
Since we got here a multi operation equation,
what should we do? 6(0)2 + 3 =
6(0) + 3 =
Excellent! Can someone demonstrate on how to 0 + 3 = 3
apply the rules of PEMDAS in our equation?

That is correct!
Now for letter b, x = -2. A student will be called to answer.
Who would like to try following the same steps? 6x2 + 3 =
6(-2)2 + 3 =
6(4) + 3 =
24 + 3 = 27

6x2 + 3 =
And for the last example, x = ½ 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
1. Substitute the given value to the
Now class, in evaluating algebraic expressions, variable.
what are the steps that we need to follow? 2. Perform the indicated operation by
following the rules of PEMDAS.
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 to who can ask me about the activity
and he is also responsible for dividing the tasks
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 expression that your group will be going
to evaluate.

Now, the group activity will be scored according

to this standard.
