Learning Activity Sheet


NAME OF LEARNER: __________________________ Grade level: Seven (7) Section: _______ Date:_______
Subject: Mathematics Learning Competency: The learner (1) translates English phrases to mathematical phrases and vice
versa; (2) illustrates an differentiates different terms in algebra: (a) an where n is a positive integer (b) constants and variables
(c) literal coefficient and numerical coefficient (d) algebraic expressions, terms and polynomials (e) number of terms, degree of
the term and degree of the polynomial
Activity No./Title: __ACTIVITY NO. 2-ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS__

Directions Read and analyze the directions carefully. Write your answers in a whole sheet of paper.

Exercises/Activities In the English subject you learn about phrases and sentences. Mathematics has also mathematical
phrases and sentences. You have to translate verbal phrases to mathematical symbol to form
mathematical phrases. Mathematical phrase consists of operational symbols like +, -, ( ) or x , ÷ or /.
There is/are corresponding word(s) for these symbols. Aside from operational symbols, it also
includes variables and numbers.

In mathematics you cannot do away with symbols. Mathematical word problems cannot be
solved unless you translate it into symbols. Symbols used for operations are called operational
symbols while symbols used to determine relation between quantities are called relational symbols.

In grammar, a phrase is a group of words that does not express complete thoughts. Mathematical
phrase does not express a complete thought also unless it becomes an equation.

Examples: Translate the following to mathematical symbols:


1. Thrice the sum of 5 and a number.
Solution: let m be the number
Sum of 5 and number ( 5 + m)
Thrice means 3 times
The mathematical phrase is 3(5 + m)

2. Subtract two thirds of the number from thirty

Solution: let x be the number


2
Two thirds of the number - the word “of” means multiply. x
3
2
The mathematical phrase is 30 - x
3
3. One half the square root of twice the square of the number.
Solution: Let y be the number.
Twice the square of the number : 2y 2
Square root of 2y2 : √ 2 y2

The mathematical phrase is √2 y 2

4. Translate 2x - 5 to verbal phrase.


Solution: 2x means twice a number
Possible verbal phrase : Twice a number decreased by 5;
Or Subtract 5 from twice a number.

In the above examples the mathematical phrases are called algebraic expressions. Algebraic
expression can be a number, a single variable or a combination of letters, numbers and operational
symbols.
Examples: A. 3, m, -5x, 3y, 7xy are algebraic expressions with one term
B. 4x2 - 8xy , xy + 5 are algebraic expressions with two terms. Terms in algebraic expression
are separated by plus (+) or minus (-).

Terms in algebraic expression are separated by plus (+) or minus (-) signs. When the operations
between variables or variable and number is multiplication or division, it is considered as one term

only. 4xyz is a single term algebraic expression so as since the operations involve are
ab
multiplication and division.

Algebraic expressions are named according to number of terms.


A. Monomial is an algebraic expression with one term
B. Binomial is an algebraic expression with two terms
C. Trinomial is an algebraic expression wit 3 terms
D. Multinomial or polynomial is an algebraic expression with more than 3 terms.

The degree of the algebraic expressions is the highest exponent of a n expression with one
variable or the highest sum of the exponents of the variables in a term of the expressions. The
constant of the algebraic expressions is a number with fixed value. A variable is a letter which
represents a number.

A term of an algebraic expression consists of numerical coefficient and literal coefficient. The
number part is called the numerical coefficient and the letter part, including the exponent, is the
literal coefficient. In 10x5, 10 is the numerical coefficient and x 5 is the literal coefficient.

Examples:
1. 5x4 - 3x + 12. The expression is trinomial, the degree is 4 which is the highest exponent, the variable
is x and the constant is 12.
2. 3x2yz + x3yz2– 2xyz + 4xy2z. This is a multinomial with variables xyz. The highest sum of the

exponent is 6 which is on the second term, hence the degree is 6 and there is no constant in this
expression, therefore the constant is 0.

Learning Task 1
A. Match the verbal phrase in column A with mathematical phrase in column B.

B. Identify the kind of algebraic expression and determine the degree, variables and constant.

Guide Questions 1. Given an algebraic expression -x6 + 3x + 14, what is the exponent of x? what is the numerical
coefficient of -x?
2. Why is it important that every word in the statement must be interpreted correctly? In what way
does it affect our dealings with others?
3. How do you translate English sentences to mathematical sentences and vice versa?
