LESSON OR
Yes, Sir.
Okay, pass it forward in the count of
5,4,3,2,1.
Let’s have a short recap about your

PRESENTING
NEW LESSON
Very good. Let’s give him 3 claps.
(The students will clap 3 times.)
And what is integers? Yes, Angela.
Sir, integers are whole numbers. It
includes the positive integers, negative
integers, and the zero.
Very good. Let’s give her 3 claps.
(The students will clap 3 times.)
Who else? Yes, Kim.
In solving an integer, we follow the Rule
of GEMDAS.
Nice. Let’s give her an amazing clap
(The students will do the amazing clap)
Since you already know and
understand well the last topic. We will
now proceed to the next topic, but
before that let’s have an activity.
B. ESTABLISHING A
PURPOSE FOR
THE LESSON/
MOTIVATION
TASK
Activity 1: Can I Guess Your Age?
Instructions: The teacher will tell the
students what they are going to do,
and each student should do what the
teacher tells them silently.
Did you understand the instruction of
our activity?
Yes, Sir.
Okay, let’s start. Are you ready?
Yes, Sir.
First, think of your age and don’t tell
anyone.
(the students will think of their age)
Next, add 5
(the students add 5 to their age)
Next, multiply it by 2
(the students will multiply it the sum by
2)
Last, subtract it by 10
(the students will subtract 10 to the
product)
Mary Jane, what is your final answer?
26, Sir.
So, your age must be 13, right?
That’s right, Sir.
Did you enjoy our activity class?
Yes, Sir.
Are you ready to learn from me?
Yes, Sir.
C. PRESENTING
EXAMPLES/
From the activity, did I know your age?
Yes, Sheinell.
No, Sir.

INSTANCES OF
THE NEW LESSON
That’s right. So, how did I guess your
age correctly?
Base on our final answer, Sir.
That’s right. And did you know that the
result of your computation is twice your
age. Did you notice that I never asked
for your age, yet the math still worked
and I guess correctly your age? That’s
because algebra uses symbols to
represent unknown values, which
leads us for our today’s lesson:
Constants, Variables, and Translating
Algebraic Expressions.
Here is our objective for today.
Everybody read the objectives.
At the end of this lesson, students should
be able to:
a. define and identify constants and
variables in algebraic expressions,
b. translate verbal
phrases
into
algebraic expressions,
c. simplify basic algebraic expressions,
and
d. solve real-life problems by applying
algebraic expressions.
Very good, class. Are you ready to
learn from me?
Yes, Sir.

expression)
will
observe
the
From the expression, which number
do you think do not change? Why?
Yes, Jerwin.
The 3 and 5, Sir.
Very good. And that’s number is what
we called the constant term. And what
is the constant term? Read the
definition, JC.
A constant term is a real number having
a fixed number or value.
That’s right. Constant term can be
integer, a fraction, or an irrational
number.
Next, how about which letters in the
given expression represent unknown
values? Yes, Lesley.
I think it’s the letter x, y, and z, Sir.
Nice observation. Let’s give her a “ang
galing mo clap”. Do you know how to
do it?
Yes, Sir.
Okay, lets do it. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, Ang
galing mo!

(the students will do the “ang galing mo
clap”)
Now, those letters represent unknown
number. And we called it a variable.
So, what is variable? Read the
definition, Shane.
A variable is a place holder that can be
replaced by an unknown number or
value.
That’s right. And we will use a letter
from the English and Greek alphabets
to represent the variables. So, does it
mean that we can use any letters in the
alphabet? Yes, Clyde.
Yes, Sir.
Why?
Because, according to what you said, we
can use letters from the alphabet.
Meaning any letters.
Good observation. Let’s give him a
“nadali mo clap”
(the students will do the “nadali mo clap”)
And class, the given equation is what
we called the algebraic expression.
And what is algebraic equation? Yes,
read the definition Melojean.
An algebraic expression is made up of
constants, variables, and the operation
for mathematical symbols.
Based on the definition of algebraic
expression, who can tell me that my
answer is correct, that the given
expression is an example of algebraic
expression? Yes, Aleah.
It is correct, Sir. Because it composed of
constant, variables and the operation.
Very good. Let’s give her a “gun clap”.
(the students will do the “gun clap”)
Do you understand it class?
Yes, Sir.
Excellent. Try to answer the following
in your notebooks.
Direction: Determine the constant,
variables, and operation from the given
expression. You will put your answer in
the table. You have 5 minutes to answer
this.

The expression is in words, Sir.
Can we identify the constant, variable,
or operation easily?
No, Sir.
So, what we are going to do?
We can translate it into symbols.
Very good. In order to determine
easier, the constant, variables, and
operation we have to translate it into
symbols first. That’s why it is very
important to know how we translate
words into symbols especially the
operation.
Now, let’s talk about the operation to
be used in different phrases. Observe

Do you understand the equivalent
symbol for the different phrase of an
operation?
Yes, Sir.
So, can you try to translate the given
word expression Shienell?
From the given expression we can
translate it as 3 for the word three, a + for
the phrase more than, and x for a
number. And we can have the
expression like this one: 𝑥 + 3
Very good. Let’s give her an “amazing
clap”.
(the students will do the “amazing clap”.
How about this one: three less than a
number, who can translate it? Yes,
Janica.
We can translate the word three into the
symbol 3, the phrase less than into
minus symbol which is -, and the number
into letter y. The final answer will be: 𝑦 −
3.
Very good. Now, let’s have another
example.
Two more than thrice the product
of two numbers
From the given expression we can
translate the words or phrases into
numbers, symbols, or letters. But take
note that we have to determine it first
one by one.
First, for the word two we can have a
what?
2, Sir.
Very good. And for a more than?
We can use a + sign, Sir.
Take note that the phrase more than
are written backward that’s why we
can have a, +2. Now, how about the
two numbers?
We can use 2 letters, Sir.
So, what letters do you want to put?
𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦, Sir.
Now that we have 2 numbers which is
x and y, the left thing to do is to
translate the phrase thrice the product.

Who can guess what this phrase mean
and translate it? Yes, Glenn?
It means we have to multiply the product
of a two number which is the x and y
three times. We can have 3 × 𝑥 × 𝑦 or
3𝑥𝑦.
Very good. Do you understand how to
translate the algebraic expression,
class?
Yes, Sir.
Try this. Translate the following in your
notebook. You have 5 minutes to finish
it.
Try this.
1. 2 times a number.
2. 3 more than twice a number
3. Five plus the number.
Are you done?
Let’s check your work.
1. 2 × 𝑎 𝑜𝑟 2𝑎
2. 2𝑏 + 3
3. 5 + 𝑛
Yes, Sir.
Do you understand how to translate
the algebraic expressions?

correctly. After answering you will post
your answers on the board. The group
who got many correct answers will be
the winner and will receive 30 points
and the remaining groups will have 2O
