1. Review
Before we start our lesson for today, let us
review your past lesson yesterday. What have
you studied yesterday?
 We have studied about equation

Base on the puzzle what is a linear equation?  Equation is a statement that two
quantities are equal.

 Linear equation is a first-order equation

involving one variable. Its graph is a
straight line.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Motivation
Integer tiles; each group will represent and
answer the questions using the tiles.
 3+5 = 8
-12 + (-5) = -17
24 – 11 = 13
-15 – 10 = -25

2. Discussion

Very good, since you are all familiar with

the rules in integers and what is an
equation/ linear equation is all about.

We are now ready to solve linear equation  Yes, we are!

in one variable. Are you ready?

In solving linear equation with one

variable, first we need to isolate the
variable in the other side and the constant
in the others side. Next, Simplify the
equation by performing operations. Lastly,
Substitute the computed value to check if
your answer is correct.

Example:

x+5 = 7  Isolate the variable x from 5, subtracting

what do we need to do first? how? five both sides
x+5-5=7-5  Simplify the equation
and next?
x=2  x+5= 7 2+5= 7 7=7
Let’s Check

Ok! Very Good!

How about this equation

x-1= -8  x-1+1= -8+1

x=-8+1
x= -7

3x -2 = 4  3x-2+2 = 4+2
3x= 6
3 3
x=2
Group Activity
“Algebra Dominoes”
Each group will be given 10 pieces of
domino tiles and each tile has an equation
and a value of the variable, they will
connect each domino tiles from the start
to the end. They are free to make any
patterns out of the tiles.
3. Abstraction
What are the steps in solving linear
equation in one variable?
Can we apply this knowledge in our daily
life?
Cite some example of situation where we
can use the knowledge about this topic
4. Application
Each group will answer the questions
using their phones. (1group = 1phone)
Standards to be followed in Group Activity
 Read and follow the directions carefully.
 Work quietly.
 Cooperate with the group.
 Maintain cleanliness and orderliness in
your working area.
(Each member should cooperate with the
group)

 Yes!
 (students give their own ideas and
experience in where they can use the
topic in their real life)
(let the students think and solve the
problem)

IV. EVALUATION

Direction: Solve the following word problem.

1. Aron has 25 toy cars and wants to collect a total of 64 cars. Find the numbers of toy cars he
needs to collect.
2. A book was on sale for 450.00 php. The sale price was 125.00 php lower than the regular
price. Find the regular price.

V. Assignment
Identify the different laws of exponents and give at least three examples for each law.
