Differentiating

Expression from
Equation
EXPRESSION
 is a combination of numbers and variables
combined by mathematical operations or
symbols.
8+7 2b×9
20÷5×12 8y-5
10+3×4 2n-6
 EXPRESSION has no equal sign. There is no
definite answer and cannot end up displaying
the value of variables involved.

 Parts of Expression
Variable
 is any letter or symbols that represents
an unknown value.
Coefficient
 is a constant value used with a variable.
Constant
 is a fixed value that does not change.

Term
 is a number or variable. A product or
quotient of a number and variables
separated by plus or minus sign.
3x + 4x - 12
2
2x + 4y - 9
1

3x + 5y - 2

2
9x + 8
EQUATION
 is a mathematical sentence formed by placing
an equal sign (=) between two expressions.

2n-6=4
2+(2×5) =12
3y=15
10+7-2(3) =11
45+5=50
Evaluation: A
I. Direction: Determine whether each one is an
expression or an equation. Write your answer on
each respective container.
(4×10) ÷ 5 293 ÷ 0.5 - 281 (44 + 4) +1
7+(6×3) = 25 150-85=65 91÷13=4+3 (2x50) – 22 = 78
30 + 92 (3×25)-5 80-(20+5)

EXPRESSION EQUATION

II. Define Expression

and Equation.
Evaluation: B
Identification:
1.a constant value used with a variable.
2.a number or variable. A product or quotient of a
number and variables separated by plus or minus
sign.
3.any letter or symbols that represent the letter.
4.a fixed value that does not change.
5.- 7. (Give three examples of EXPRESSION)
8. – 10. (Give three examples of EQUATION)
Evaluation: C
Direction: Identify the expressions and equations
by putting a tick in the respective column.
Evaluation: D
Direction: Identify the parts of the algebraic expressions.
For 8-9, create an algebraic expression based on its
variables, coefficients, constants, and number of terms.
Evaluation: E

_________1. consist of letters, numbers or a combination of letters
and numbers joined by operation symbols and does not have an
_______2.sign while an _________3.consist of letters, number or a
combination of letters and numbers joined by operation symbols with
an _________ 4.sign.
