A. Reviewing Last week, you already learned
previous lesson or about the difference between
presenting the new constants and variables in a given
lesson algebraic expressions. For today’s
discussion, you’ll learn another
concept about algebraic
expressions.

Okay, I have here five strips of

paper which contains different
expressions with missing values.
Assume that the blank corresponds
to 5, answer the following:
=28
(9 + _) (8 ÷ 4)
= 60
(10 + _) (12 ÷ 3)
= -120

=39

= -2

Questions to be asked: Expected answer:

What did you observe? Each picture has its missing parts.
What are the missing parts? For first picture, the boy has no right
arm. The second picture which is the
table is lacking with one leg. Lastly, the
puzzle has its missing piece.

C. Presenting In algebra, we represent the
examples/instances of unknown with any letters – called
the new lesson as variables.

Now, how many letters do we

have in English alphabet? - 26 letters

Let say each alphabet

corresponds to numbers 1 to 26. Answers will vary depending on the

26. Then, I want you to give
value for each letter of your
nickname then find its sum. That
would be now the numerical
value of your nickname.

To be able to do this, we
need to follow some steps.

For example, we evaluate

the expression
3x - 2y + 5 when x = 2 and y = 4
