FIRST TERM – 2021/2022 ACADEMIC SESSION
LESSON PLAN FOR THE FIRST WEEK ENDING 14/09/2023
Term 1st Week 1 Date Teachers Mr John Ekpenyong
Subject Mathematics Topic Algebraic Simplification Duration 40 X 2 Class Year7/10
1 /Age years+
Prior Learning/ Experience The pupils have been taught Algebra.
Learning Objectives At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to :
1. State the coefficient of an algebraic term.
2. Grouping positive and negative terms to simplify an algebraic expression.
3. Grouping like and unlike terms to simplify an algebraic expression
4. Solving word problems by forming and simplifying algebraic expressions.
Resources and Teaching New General Mathematics 1.,charts etc
aids
Point of interest The pupils were happy when the topic was introduced to them.
Teaching Activities
Starter:
Main: (i) Teacher explains the topic (Algebraic Simplication) to the students (ii) Teacher solves
different problems and solve solution on each question. .
(iii) Pupils are asked questions on the topic.
Extension Task(s): i) Pupils are asked to answer some questions on the topic.
Plenary: Teacher gives a summary of lesson by highlighting salient points
, Key Words Success Criteria Class work (evaluation) Homework
Algebra,Operations Solve the following : Simplify the following : a. 7e-(3-6e)
(i) x+x+y (i) 6m-9m+9x b. (4y+3z)-(5x-4z)
(ii) 2y-5y+6y (ii) 11x-2x+3y+5y c. 8m-9m-5m+10m
(iii) a-2b-4a+3c+4a+5b d. 3p-5q+4p-q
(iv) 6z-(3y-x)
(v) 6e-(5-4e)
Reflection
Notes
COEFFICIENT
A coefficient is an integer that is written along with a variable
In arithmetic, 3 x 5 is a short way of writing 5+5+5 .Similarly in algebra 4 x a is a short
form writing a+a+a+a , That is ,
4a = 4 x a = a + a + a + a
Examples A
Simplify the following :
(i) x+x+x+x
(ii) c+c+c+c+c+c
(iii)K+k+k+k+k+k+k
Solution
(i) x+x+x+x = 4x
(ii) c+c+c+c+c+c = 6c
(iii) k +k + k+ k+ k+ k+ k = 6k
