A Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics

Grade 7
Estepanie T. Gopet Mr. Jay P. Mabini
Student Professor
I. OBJECTIVES
With the aid of powerpoint presentation, the grade 7 students are expected to do the
following with 85% proficiency;
a. identify the properties of real numbers;
b. simplify each variables involving the properties of real numbers; and
c. state the application of the property of real numbers in solving equations in
mathematics.
II. CONTENT
A. Topic: Properties of Real Numbers
B. References:
1. Crisostomo, Ricardo M., et.al, Our World of Math, Vibal Publishing House Inc., 374
pages, pages 37-42, 2013.
2. K-12 Math Curriculum Guide Code: M7GE-III-a-3
C. Instructional Materials:
1. Interactive Media
III. PROCEDURE: (Inductive Method)
A. Activity
I will say “Class, I have here a game called “Four Pics One Word”. Are you
familiar with this game? Before we formally start our lesson for today we will play that
game first. I have here 5 set of pictures for you to guess the missing word.”
B. Analysis
The class will state the words they found from the given activity. A volunteer
from the class will give his/her own meaning of one of the identified word. Then I will
post on the board the description of the word, so that the appropriate definition of the
disclosed word and verify if his/her given definition is correct.
I will ask the class, “With regards from those words, do you have any idea what its
connection to our topic? In this lesson, we will be able to identify the different
 properties we usually used whenever we operate addition and multiplication of real
numbers”.
C. Abstraction
I will discuss each property together with their rules and some examples using the
powerpoint presentation. At the end of the discussion, I will present the summarization
of each property in symbols.

 Example:
a.) 6+7= 7+6
 Commutative Property of addition
 If a and b are real numbers, then a + b = b + a. (Order of the
terms to be added does not affect the sum.)
b.) 6 ∙ 7= 7 ∙ 6
Commutative Property of Multiplication
 If a and b are real numbers, then a ∙ b= b ∙ a. (Order of the factors
to be multiplied does not affect the product)
 Example:
a.) (5 + 7) + 3 = 5 + (7 + 3)
 Associative Property of Addition
 If a, b, and c are real numbers, then (a +b) + c = a + (b + c).
(Grouping of the terms to be added does not affect the sum)
b.) (2 ∙ 3) ∙ 4 = 2 ∙ (3 ∙ 4)
 Associative Property of Multiplication
 If a, b, and c are real numbers, then (a ∙ b) ∙ c = a ∙ (b ∙ c).
(Grouping of the factors to be multiplied does not affect the sum)
 Example:
a.) 11 + 0 = 0 + 11 = 11
 Identity Property of Addition
 If a is a real number then, a + 0 = a.
b.) 7∙1=1∙7=7
 Identity Property of Multiplication
 If a is a real number, then a ∙ 1 = a
 Example:
a.) 8 + (-8) = 0
 Inverse Property of Addition
 For every real number a, there exists a unique real number -a,
called the “Additive Inverse of a” or simply the “Negative of
a” with the property that a + (-a) = (-a) + a = 0.
b.) 4 ∙ (¼) = 1
 Inverse Property of Multiplication
  For every real number a, a ≠ 0, there exists a unique real
𝟏
number 𝒂−𝟏 = 𝒂, called the “multiplicative inverse of a” or
simply the “reciprocal of a” with the property that a ∙ 𝒂−𝟏 =
𝒂−𝟏 ∙ a = 1.
 Example:
a.) 3(5 + 2) = 3 ∙ 5 + 3 ∙ 2 = 21
 Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition
 If a, b, and c are real numbers then, a ∙ (b + c) = a ∙ b + a ∙ c
[Left Distributive Property] or (a + b) ∙ c = a ∙ c + b ∙ c
[Right Distributive Property].
 Example:
a.) 7∙0=0∙7=0
 Multiplication Property of Zero
 If a is a whole number then, a ∙ 0 = 0.
After the discussion, I will ask “Can I have a volunteer to differentiate the properties of
integers in multiplication and addition?”
D. Application
Activity 1:
Directions: Simplify each equation using the properties of real numbers.
1. (5y) (3y)
2. (-2) (-x)
3. (-4t) + 9 + (4t)
4. -4 (2x-7y-z)
5. 3 (2a + 6b – 5c)
Activity 2:
Directions: The teacher will group the students into three groups, each group will
be given one question to answer. Each of them should have one representative to explain their
work to the board and the teacher will rate them with the following criteria:
RUBRICS
Correct Answer - 40%
Explanation - 40%
Cooperation - 10%
Presentation - 10%
TOTAL: 100%.
For about 10 minutes each group should present their work on the board.

Questions:
Group 1: In your own words, explain the distributive property.
 Group 2: Explain why division by zero is not allowed.
Group 3: Give examples of two operations that occur in everyday experience that are
not commutative (for example, putting on socks and then shoes).

Test 1:
Directions: Name the property illustrated in each of the following statements.
Specify the operation involved.
