Practice proper hygiene protocol at all times
 Welcome to Mathematics for Grade 7!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Cadiz City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Mathematics Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with
minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made
available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Mathematics Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning

even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful
and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully
read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

MATHEMATICS 7 ACTIVITY SHEET

Illustrating and Differentiating Related Terms in Algebra:
a. a n where n is a positive integer
b. constants and variables
c. literal coefficients and numerical coefficients

I. Learning Competency with Code

Illustrates and differentiates related terms in algebra:
a. a n where n is a positive integer
b. constants and variables
c. literal coefficients and numerical coefficients
d. algebraic expressions, terms and polynomials
e. number of terms, degree of the term and degree of the polynomial.

II. Background Information for Learners

In the language of Algebra, the following are important terms to remember:
 a n where n is a positive integer
In a n, a is called the base
n is called an exponent
To read, “a raised to n ”.
If n is a positive integer, then a is used as factor n times.
a n = a x a x a x a … (n times)
 Terms in mathematical expressions are composed of constants and
variables. Constants are numbers that have fixed values while variables are
symbols or letters that may take one or more than one value.
In 2 x+ 4 y +6 , 6 is the constant
x and y are the variables
 Literal coefficient is the variable including its exponent in a term while
numerical coefficient is a constant that is multiplied to a variable. The word
coefficient alone refers to numerical coefficient.
In 3 x ² , x ² is the literal coefficient
3 is the numerical coefficient

MATHEMATICS 7 ACTIVITY SHEET

Illustrating and Differentiating Related Terms in Algebra:
d. algebraic expressions, terms and polynomials
e. number of terms, degree of the term and degree of the polynomial

I. Learning Competency with Code

Illustrates and differentiates related terms in algebra:
a. a n where n is a positive integer
b. constants and variables
c. literal coefficients and numerical coefficients
d. algebraic expressions, terms and polynomials
e. number of terms, degree of the term and degree of the polynomial.

II. Background Information for Learners

Another important terms in Algebra that need to be understood:
 Algebraic expression is a group of terms separated by plus or
minus sign
 Term is a constant or a variable or a product of a constant and variable.
In an algebraic expression 9 a ²+ 11 b – c , the terms are 9 a ² , 11b ,−c .

 A polynomial is an algebraic expression where the exponents of the

variables are all whole numbers (non-negative exponents).
An algebraic expression is NOT a polynomial if:
a. The exponent of the variable is NOT a whole number.
b. The variable is inside the radical sign.
c. The variable is in the denominator.
 A polynomial can be classified according to the numbers of terms and
according to its degree.
Kinds of Polynomials according to the number of terms
a. Monomial – polynomial with one term
Examples: a ² , 4 y ,−21 , ay
b. Binomial – polynomial with two terms
Examples: z +4 , 9( x+ 1) – 6 , √ 2 x ²+ x
c. Trinomial – polynomial with three terms
Examples: a 2+ a – 1 ,6 x ³ – x ²+2
d. Multinomial – polynomial with four or more terms
Examples: x 5+ 2 x 4 – 3 x 2 – 4 ,5 ab ³+3 a ²+ 4 a+ b – 7

6
Practice proper hygiene protocol at all times
  Degree is the highest exponent or the highest sum of exponents of the
variables in a term. The degree of an expression is the highest degree of its
terms.
In 3 x 4 y 2+ x −7, the degree is taken by adding the exponent of x which is 4
and the exponent of y which is 2.
Thus, 4 +2=6.
Therefore, the degree of 3 x 4 y 2+ x −7 is 6.
Kinds of Polynomials according to its degree
a. Constant – a polynomial of degree zero
2
Examples: 500, -7,
5
b. Linear – a polynomial of degree one
Examples: x +6 , 81 a , x – 3 y , z
c. Quadratic – a polynomial of degree two
Examples: 8 x 2 , ab , 13 x ²+ 5 xy , 23 ab+7
d. Cubic – a polynomial of degree three
Examples: 2 abc , 4 x ² y – 2 y ,3 x ³ – 2 xy + y ²
e. Quartic – a polynomial of degree four
Examples: 16 x 4 , a2 b2 ,5 x ²+4 x ³ y , 18 a ³ b+7
f. Quintic – a polynomial of degree five
Examples: 10 a2 b2 c ,9 x 2 y 3 – 2 y ,10 x 5 – 2 xy+7 y ²
The next degrees have no universal name yet, so they are just called
“polynomial of degree ___________”.
