What is mathematical expression?
An expression or algebraic expression is a
combination of variables, numbers, and one or more
operations.
A constant is a specific number.
A variable is a letter or symbol that represents any
element of a specified set.
A number may replace a variable in an algebraic
expression
WHAT’S YOUR EXPRESSION?
The unknown in the problem is usually
represented by a variable.
GROUP ACTIVITY: TRANSLATE THROUGH EXPRESSION
Mechanics:
1. Divide the class into 2 groups.
2. Each group will be given an activity to do
3. Each group will present their output.
PRESENTATION OF
OUTPUT
 Pause! Stay with your Group!
Directions: The teacher will read instructions. Each
team must have a representative on the board. The
team who got the correct answer will be given 1 point.
The team with the most of points will be the winner.

SECOND DAY
 Let’s Recall

What is expression?
 LET’S SOLVE
The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,100
islands. Most of this islands are volcanic origin. There
are 27 volcanoes and 18 are still active. How many
volcanoes are inactive?

• What is asked in the problem?

• What is the number sentence for the problem?
 LET’S EQUATE

The number sentence:

27-18=9 is an equation.
 LET’S COMPARE
An equation is a mathematical sentence formed by
placing an equal sign (=) between two expressions.
GAME ACTIVITY: EXPRESSION OR EQUATION

Mechanics:
