CHAPTER 3: ESTIMATION IN MEASUREMENT

Section 3.2 Systems of Measurement

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
 approximates the measures of quantities particularly length , weight/mass, volume, time, angle and
temperature and rate. (M7ME-IIa-3 )
 converts measurements from one unit to another in both Metric and English systems. (M7ME-IIb-1)
INTRODUCTION/ MOTIVATION

Convert the given measures to new units.

1) 120 in = ____________ ft 6) 5 kg = ______________t
2) 8 ft = _____________ in 7) 7 lb = ______________ oz
3) 3 cm = _____________m 8) 18pt = _____________ fl oz
4) 40 mg = _____________ g 9) 4000g = ____________ kg
5) 90 mL = _____________ L 1). 7 cm 6 mm = ________ mm

INSTRUCTION/DISCUSSION:

Measurement is one of the most useful processes ever developed. Almost everything you use is
measured-from the clothes you wear and the gadgets you use, o the food you eat. Building materials and
machine parts must have precise measurements so that these will fit perfectly as intended. Shoes have
sizes so you will know which pair to choose.

 Refer to your Mathematics book, pages 119o see more examples on Ancient measures of weight
and length.

THE STANDARD SYSTEMS OF MEASURES

Two standard systems of measurement were developed: the U.S. customary or the “English” system and
the metric system. The United States uses the customary system and some metric, while the rest of the
world uses the metric system exclusively.
THE U.S CUSTOMARY OR ENGLISH SYSTEM
The U. S Customary or English System of Measurement is based on the British Imperial
System. Its units evolved from nonstandard units of measure in medieval times like the foot,
yard and inch. In order to convert from one unit tp another, you need to the conversion factor
or the number of units that another unit is equal to.

 Refer to your Mathematics book, pages 120 to see the conversion table of Customary Units of
length, mass and capacity and its examples.

THE SI BASE UNITS OF MEASURE

The International System of Units from the French Systeme International d’ Unites, also
known as SI, is based on the metric system.

 Refer to your Mathematics book, pages 122 -124 to see the conversion table of SI Units of measure.

Metric Systems- U.S. Customary Systems (USCS ) CONVERSIONS

In the United States, both the U.S. customary measurement system and the metric system are used,
especially in medical, scientific, and technical fields. In most other countries, the metric system is the
primary system of measurement. If you travel to other countries, you will see that road signs list distances in
kilometers and milk is sold in liters. People in many countries use words like “kilometer,” “liter,” and
MATH 7 Page 1 of 5
“milligram” to measure the length, volume, and weight of different objects. These measurement units are
part of the metric system

CHAPTER 4: EVALUATION OF ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS

Section 4.1 – 4.3: Evaluating Algebraic Expressions

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
 evaluates algebraic expressions for given values of the variables. (M7ALIIc-4)
INTRODUCTION/ MOTIVATION

Direction: Evaluate each expression.

a. c.
b. d.

INSTRUCTION/DISCUSSION:

Parentheses have been used to group numbers in an expression. Different groupings may produce
different numbers.
means or
means or .
Here are the grouping symbols that we have already used:

Parentheses ()
Brackets []
Braces {}

To evaluate an algebraic expression means to substitute the given specific values for the variables
and then simplify the resulting numerical expression.

Example 1. Evaluate if and

Solution:

Example 2. Evaluate if and .

Solution:

 Refer to your Mathematics book, pages 148-158 to see other examples of “Evaluating Algebraic
Expressions.”

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
 Illustrates and differentiates related terms in algebra:
a. where 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.

INTRODUCTION/ MOTIVATION
Give an example for the following terms.
Variable - ______________
Constant - _____________
Exponent - _____________
Mathematical Operation - ______________

INSTRUCTION/DISCUSSION:

A symbol that represents an unknown number is referred to as a variable. Symbols like

can be used as variables.
A variable, a number, or a collection of variables and numbers related by at least a fundamental
operation or grouping symbol is called an algebraic expression. Some examples of algebraic expressions
are:

, , , ,

Any algebraic expression separated from another algebraic expression by a plus or a minus

sign is called a term. There are four terms in the expression , namely

and .
Example 1. Count the number of terms in each algebraic expression.
a. c.

b. d.

Solution:
a. There are three terms: and .

b. There is only one term: .

c. There are two terms: and .

d. There are four terms: , , , and .

The numerical factor of a term is called its numerical coefficient or simply coefficient. In the term

the numerical coefficient is .

Example 2. Identify the numerical coefficient in each of the following terms:

MATH 7 Page 4 of 5
 a. c.

b. d.
Solution:

a.
b.

c. Note that is equivalent to . Thus, its coefficient is .

d. Simplify first the expression before determining the coefficient. .

Hence, the coefficient is .

A term without a variable is a constant term. In the expression , the constant is

.
In the expression is referred to as the exponent of the base . The exponent
tells how many times the base is to be multiplied to itself. Hence, means and
. The dot means multiplication.
