LESSON PLAN

(Detailed)

I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the class, the students should be able to;
 identify the three different rules in simplifying an algebraic expression,
 perform the process of simplifying complex algebraic expression themselves, and
 appreciate the importance of simplifying complicated problem.
II. SUBJECT MATTERS
a. Topic: Simplifying An Algebraic Expression
b. Reference: Algebra 2, 35-36 page.
c. Materials: Manila Paper and Puzzle Pieces (Made of Recycled Material)
d. Values Integration: Learning to simplify complicated problems will give the
students clear understanding about how to deal with them in simple way.

into 3 and each group will be given a
task to do.)
(The students will participate.)
D. LESSON PROPER

 *SIMPLIFYING ALGEBRAIC
EXPRESSION*

THREE RULES IN SIMPLIFYING ALGEBRAIC

EXPRESSION:
RULE # 1
 There is no change sign in the terms
of expression preceded by a plus sign.
Example:
=3 + (4x - 7y) + y
=3 + 4x - 7y + y
=3 + 4x - 6y

RULE # 2
 There is a change of sign when
preceded by a negative sign.
Example:
= -4x – (3y + 7x) – y
= -4x – 3y – 7x – y
= -11x – 4y

RULE # 3
 If more than one symbol ({ } braises,
( ) parenthesis, [ ] braquetes) remove
first the inner one.
Example:
= 5y – 4 {2x – 3 (3y – 5x) + x} – y
= 5y – 4 (2x – 9y + 15x + x) – y
= 5y – 8x + 36y – 60x – 4x – y
= – 72x + 40y

E. ANALYSIS

 How is it happened the rule number 1

stated that there is no need for the
sign to change while in the rule no. 2
stated it has to?
(The students will answer.)

 How can you relate to our topic?

(The students will answer.)

F. GENERALIZATION

 Do we really have to simplify complex

algebraic expression to clearly
understand the given problem? Why?

(The students will answer.)

G. APPLICATION

 Direction: simplify the following

algebraic expression.
1. 6a – 3b – 7c + 5a – 2c
2. -2(3x + 4y) – 8xy
3. x – 3{4x –2(2x) + 10y}
4. 2[ 3{5x – 6(2x)} + 8y] (The students will answer.)

H. EVALUATION

 INSTRUCTION:
 Get ½
sheet of yellow paper and
answer the following problems. (The students will follow.)

 Simplify the following algebraic

expression:
1. 6x + 4y – 2z + 2x – 3y – z
2. -x – {5x + 2y(x + 5z) – 8xy + 2yz}

I. ASSIGNMENT

 Simplify the following algebraic

expression:

1. x – 3y + 5 y – 2y + 6x
2. 4a – 5b{6(2 – c)}
3. 5[3x{5 – 2y + z( 2x – 3y)} – 5xyz
