involved in space travel, to the very small quantities in computer design. To do this, we must be able
to choose an appropriate level of accuracy for a measurement; to select what measuring instruments
to use and correctly determine the measures of objects, space and time, these activities requires us
to use standard instruments including rulers, volume and capacity measures, timer and emerging
measurement technologies found in the home and workplace.
How does one make an accurate and precise measurement? How are different measuring devices

The length of an object is the number of units from one end of the object
to the other end. Using a centimeter as a unit, this pencil is 16 centimeters long.
Various instruments are used to measure length like ruler, meter stick, tape measure, trundle
wheel, caliper and micrometer.
While the number of objects should be exact, measurements are never exact.
Consider the following.

system.
Solves problems involving weight/mass and volume/capacity.
Various instruments are used to measure weight/mass of an object like spring scales, kitchen scales,
bathroom scales, beam and digital weighing scales.
Main Idea
Mass is not the same as weight. But they are often times used in interchangeably. Weight is
the force of gravity acting upon a person or an object.
In symbol, weight is
W = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity which is
approximately 9.8m/s2.

The amount of liquid a container holds when filled to the brim gives the liquid volume of the
container. The maximum amount of liquid the container holds is its capacity. Capacity is measured in
the same units as liquid volume. In the metric system, liter is the standard unit for liquid volume or
capacity. Cubic meter is the standard unit for solid volume.
Main Idea
Volume is the amount of space that is occupied by an object. Capacity is the amount of
liquid or solid a container can hold when it is full. For liquid volume or capacity, a liter or milliliter
is the standard unit. For solid volume, a cubic centimeter or cubic meter is the standard unit.

In terms of solid volume, the decimal point is moved thrice the number of spaces between units
since volume involves three dimensions.
Here is how we convert units of volume or capacity.
Consider converting 25.97 cm3 to m3. Count the number of connectors from cm to m, that is to
the left.
km hm dam m dm cm mm
Since we are referring to cubic units, multiply 2 by 3 then move the decimal point 2 × 3 or 6
places to the left.
Therefore, 25.97 cm3 = 0.00002597 m3
The relationship among the units of measure of volume for liquid and solid
are shown below.

LESSON 3 Measuring Angles, Time and Temperature WEEK
2
Angle is formed by two rays intersecting at a point called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are
called the sides of the angle. The amount of the opening of the two sides determines the measure of the
angle.
Time is very important and the fundamental quantities of physical world. As the saying goes “Time
is gold”. Everything you do is bounded with time. Time is a period during which an action or event
occurs.
Temperature refers to the measure of the hotness or coldness of an object or substance with reference
to some standard value. The instrument used to determine temperature is a thermometer. It is measured
by Kelvin (K), degree Celsius (°C), and degree Fahrenheit (⁰F) The commonly used units of measure for
temperature are degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit.
Angles
In real life, there are many instances where we make an educated guess about the measure of an
angle. We ponder and estimate the size of an angle when we look at the hands of the clock, a ramp at the
park, and many more. Angle estimation is part and parcel of everyday life. Now, look at the given
picture and try to estimate the size of an angle.
1 hr = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

Temperature
The human body has a normal temperature; it varies based on
ages and body parts. Refer to the chart, complete the statement
below.
Angles
Derived from the Latin word “angulus”, which means corner, an angle is defined as a figure
formed when two rays share a common endpoint called the vertex. Angles are measured either in degree
or radian measures. A protractor is used to determine the measure of an angle in degrees. In suing the
protractor make sure that the cross bar in the middle of the protractor is aligned with the vertex and one
of the legs of the angle is aligned with one side of the line passing through the cross bar. The
measurement of the angle is determined by its other leg.
Examples:
Units of Time
60 seconds (s) = 1 minute (min) 12 months (mo) = 1 year
60 minutes = 1 hour (hr) 365 days = 1 year
24 hours = 1 day (da) 366 days = 1 leap year
7 days = 1 week (wk) 1 decade = 10 years
52 weeks = 1 year (yr) 1 century = 100 years
Example:
1. Convert 4 hours to minutes
60 min
4 hr× = 240 min

Temperature
In your everyday life and in your study of Math and Science, you are likely to encounter three
different temperature scales. When you watch the weather report on the news, they will report the
temperature on one scale, yet you measure temperature in the laboratory on a different scale. Clearly,
you can see the importance of the use of units when reporting temperature. You can also see the need,
for a student, to be able to convert temperatures from one scale to another.
Temperature is the measurement of the degree of hotness or coldness of an object or substances.
While the commonly used units are Celsius (ºC) for the Metric system and Fahrenheit (ºF) for the
English system, the base SI unit for temperature is the Kelvin.

To understand the new terms better, let’s look at some word prefixes. The chart shows some
common terms and the meaning of their prefixes.
Definition of Terms
In the algebraic expression 3x2 – x + 5, 3x2, -x and 5 are called the terms.
Term is a constant, a variable or a product of constant and variable.
In the term 3x2, 3 is called the numerical coefficient and x2 is called the literal coefficient.
In the term –x has a numerical coefficient which is -1 and a literal coefficient which is x.
The term 5 is called the constant, which is usually referred to as the term without a variable.
Numerical coefficient is the constant/number.
Literal coefficient is the variable including its exponent.
The word Coefficient alone is referred to as the numerical coefficient. In the literal coefficient
x2, x is called the base and 2 is called the exponent.
Degree is the highest exponent or the highest sum of exponents of the variables in a term.
In 3x2 – x + 5, the degree is 2.
In 3x2y3 – x4y3 the degree is 7.
Similar Terms are terms having the same literal coefficients.
3x2 and -5x2 are similar because their literal coefficients are the same.
5x and 5x2 are NOT similar because their literal coefficients are NOT the same.
2x3y2 and –4x2y3 are NOT similar because their literal coefficients are NOT the same.
Note:
An exponent is a number that indicates the number of times a variable or a number is used as
a factor.
Ex. 23 = (2)(2)(2)
y2 = (y)(y)

A polynomial is a kind of algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a variable or a
product of a constant and variable in which the variable has a whole number (non-negative number)
exponent. A polynomial can be a monomial, binomial, trinomial or a multinomial.
An algebraic expression is NOT a polynomial if
1) the exponent of the variable is NOT a whole number {0, 1, 2, 3..}.
2) the variable is inside the radical sign.
3) the variable is in the denominator.

Algebraic expressions are said to be similar if the expressions has the same
literal coefficients or variables, like 3x and x are similar while x and x² are not. In general, algebraic
expressions are called polynomials. You can only perform addition and subtraction to polynomials that
are similar. In the previous lesson you define variables as a letter that represents a number. An
expression can have a value if you replace the variable with a number and perform the operations
involved.
In order to add or subtract polynomials, it's important to understand like terms first. Like terms
are terms that have the exact same variable part, they must have the same variables raised to the
same powers. Like terms can have a different coefficient (the number in front of the variable), but
the variable parts must match exactly.
Put a check mark inside the box if the following are like terms. Explain why.
Why?
3 2 3 2
4x y , -7x y 2ay5, - 15yz3, and 13x

–2x y + 11x y – 3y – 2 *Align similar terms and add by columns
The terms are arranged in descending order in terms of the variable x to avoid forgetting a term.
For subtraction of polynomials, the rules in subtracting integers apply. The opposite or additive
inverse of subtrahend is added to the minuend.
Note:
That is, for all real numbers r and s, the following relationships hold.
a. r – s = r + (–s)
b. –(r + s) = –1(r ) + (–1)s
= –r – s
c. –(r – s) = –1{r + (–s)}
= (–1)r + (–1)(–s)

Such are called special products. Using the laws of exponents you will be able to find the product
of a) square of a binomial b) sum and difference of binomials, c) cube of a binomial d) square of
a trinomial.
There is a handy way to help us remember to multiply each term called "FOIL". It stands for
"Firsts, Outers, Inners, Lasts"
Foil method is applicable for the above example. Now, Let us try this on a more complicated example.
"FOIL" won't work here, because there are more terms now.
Let’s discover more different ways on multiplying polynomials!
Multiplying a polynomial by a monomial involves repeated use of the distributive property and the
rules for multiplying monomial stated above. Likewise, other laws of exponents are to be used.
5x + 4
×12x
60x2 + 48x the process yields the same result.
To multiply binomial by another binomial, simply distribute the first term of the first binomial to
each term of the other binomial then distribute the second term to each term of the other binomial and
simplify the results by combining similar terms. This procedure is also known as the F-O-I-L method or
Smile method. Another way is the vertical way of multiplying which is the conventional one.

To multiply a polynomial with more than one term by a polynomial with three or more terms, simply
distribute the first term of the first polynomial to each term of the other polynomial. Repeat the
procedure up to the last term and simplify the results by combining similar terms.
Divides polynomials.M7AL-IIe-2
Division of polynomials might seem like the most challenging and intimidating of the operations to
master. Still, so long as you can recall the basic rules about the long division of integers, it’s a
surprisingly easy process. This lesson will show you how to carry out the division between two
monomials, a monomial and polynomial, and lastly, between two polynomials. Before getting into
this topic, let’s briefly explain a few important terms below.

Rules in Dividing Polynomials
To divide polynomial by a monomial, simply divide each term of the polynomial by the given
divisor.
Example:
To divide polynomial by a polynomial with more than one term (by long division), simply follow the
procedure in dividing numbers by long division.

In the previous lesson, you translate verbal phrases to mathematical symbols which
become an algebraic expression. In grammar, a phrase does not express a complete thought only
sentence does. Similarly, in mathematics, a mathematical phrase or expression does not express a
complete thought, only mathematical sentence does.
Mathematical sentence makes use of relational symbol like equal (=), less than (<), less
than or equal to (≤) , and greater than or equal to (≥) . If the mathematical sentence uses equal
sign (=), then it is an equation, otherwise it is an inequality.
Word problems can be solved if you will translate it into an equation or inequality. An
equation is a mathematical sentence that shows two equal expressions. 3x + 5 = 20 is an
equation. The left side of equation 3x + 5 must be equal to the right side of the equation which is
20. 3x + 5 = 20 is an example of a linear equation in one variable.
Alex scored 4 goals. Theresa scored g more goals than Alex. Write an expression using the
variable g. Evaluate the expression if g = 7 to find the number of goals Theresa scored.
The world is full of word problems. How much money do I need to fill the car with gas? How
much should I tip the server at a restaurant? How many socks should I pack for vacation? How big a
turkey do I need to buy for Thanksgiving dinner, and what time do I need to put it in the oven? If my
sister and I buy our mother a present, how much will each of us pay?

Now that we can solve equations, we are ready to apply our new skills to word problems. Let’s
begin!
Word problems are important in learning mathematics. They help develop the
reasoning and thinking power which are useful in daily living.
To solve problems involving polynomials, read and analyze the problem carefully. Make use of
illustrations and formulas, if necessary.
1. The dimensions of a rectangle are (8x2 + 8x – 9)m by (5x2 – 7x + 2)m. What is the perimeter of the
given rectangle?
Solution:

Solving equation or inequality is finding the value or values of the variable that will satisfy the
equation or inequality. The equation x + 5 = 12 is a mathematical sentence that is a conditional
equation because it can either be true or false. It can only be true if x = 7. By substituting 7 to x, you
have 7 + 5 = 12. Both sides of the equation name the same number which is 12. Thus 7 is called the
solution of the equation or sometimes it is called the root of the equation. The inequality x + 5 < 12
can either be true or false too. The value of x that will make the inequality true are numbers that are
less than 7. If you replace x with 6 which is less than 7 , then 6 + 5 < 12. 11 is really less than 12.
You can substitute any number to x as long as it is less than 7.

Let’s begin this lesson with this challenge. Identify the mathematical symbol given in the chart.
Write your answer beside the arrow.
An equation shows the equality of two variables while an inequality shows the inequality of two
variables.
Although both can have several different solutions, an equation only has one answer while an
inequality can also have several.
An equation uses factors like x and y while an inequality uses symbols such as < and >.
