Instructions:

1. Read and study the given problem.

2.Do what is asked at the end of the
given situation.
3.Answer the questions that follow.
 Joan helps
feed the
chickens in
her father’s
farm.
Each day, a chicken eats 70 g of growing
mass.
 Joan must
prepare a
food budget
for the
chickens.
 Complete the table below to help
Joan prepare a food budget:
Number of 1 2 3 5 10 20 30
chickens
Amount
of food 70 140 210 350 700 1400 2100
(g)
Questions:

1. In you own words, describe how to find the amount

of food needed for a day if you know the number of
chickens.
multiply seventy by the
number of chickens
multiply the number of
chickens by seventy
Questions:

2. Write “multiply seventy by the number of chickens”

into symbols.
multiply: x or · or ()()
seventy: 70 no. of chickens: any letter

amount of food in symbols =

70·n
Questions:

3. What is the difference between the value

of 70 and n?
(70 is 70! You cannot change it.)
70 -value is fixed or does not change
n -value is not fixed or changes
(depends upon the number of chickens)
Questions:

3. In algebra, what do you call the quantity

wherein the value is fixed or DOES NOT change?
CONSTANTS
4. How about if the value of the quantity is NOT
fixed or it changes?

VARIABLES
In algebra, what do you call
the combination of constant,
variable and at least one
operations?
 ALGEBRAIC
EXPRESSIONS
 #OOTD
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. describe algebraic expressions;
2. translate mathematical phrases to algebraic
expressions;
3. identify the kind of algebraic expression according to
degree and number of terms

 In algebraic
expressions, when a
constant is written
before the variable
without any operation
symbol, then it means
the operation is
MULTIPLICATION.

70n -means 70 x n
