III. Instructional Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Daily routine
1. Prayer
Class let’s all stand up. A student will lead the prayer.
Before we start, ____________ lead Dear God ……… Amen.
the prayer.
2. Greetings
Good Morning class. Good Morning Sir.
3. Checking of Attendance
Is everybody present for today? Yes sir, everybody is present today.
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.
Very good!
2. Review
How do we solve multi operation Sir we solve multi operation mathematical
mathematical expression? expression by following the rules of PEMDAS.
Very Good!
And what does PEMDAS stand for? The students will state the answer.
Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication,
That is correct! We solve multi Division, Addition, Subtraction.
operation expression by following the
operation order of Parenthesis,
Exponent, Multiplication, Division,
Addition, and Subtraction.
C. Lesson Development
1. Motivation / Activity
Class, where do we usually hear the Students will raise their hands.
word substitution? Sir we hear substitution in basketball,
volleyball, etc...
And how do we substitute in Sir the player is replaced by another player.
basketball?
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.
KNOWLEDGE K N O W L E D G E
11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96
Now for the second word.
HARDW ORK H A 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 everyone have Yes sir.
the same answers?
2. Analysis
What did we do in our activity? Sir we find the numerical value of the given
words.
Correct. And how did we find the value Sir we substitute the corresponding value in
of the given words? each letter.
And then what’s next? Sir 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
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 = 1/2
For letter a, how do we evaluate? Sir we substitute the given value of x in the
What should we do first? equation.
Correct. Can someone show us how to A student will be called to substitute the value
substitute the value of x in our of x.
equation? 6(0)2 + 3 =
Very good!
Now what is the next step? We perform the indicated operations.
Since we got here a multi operation Sir we follow the rules of PEMDAS.
equation, what should we do?
Excellent! Can someone demonstrate
on how to apply the rules of PEMDAS 6(0)2 + 3 =
in our equation? 6(0) + 3 =
0 +3 =3
That is correct!
Now for letter b, x = -2.
Who would like to try following the A student will be called to answer.
same steps? 6x2 + 3 =
6(-2)2 + 3 =
6(4) + 3 =
24 + 3 = 27
And for the last example, x =1/2 6x2 + 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
expressions, what are the steps variable.
that we 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 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
expressions that your group will be
going to evaluate.
Now, the group activity will be
scored according to this standard.
