ACTIVITY SHEETS IN MATHEMATICS 7
2nd Quarter, Week 1 - Approximates the measures of quantities particularly length, weight/mass,
volume, time, angle and temperature and rate.
Measurements should be as accurate and precise as possible. Accuracy pertains to the closeness
of the measurements to the true value while precision refers to the degree to which successive
measurements agree with each other.
However, no matter how accurate the act of measurement is considered an approximate value.
Measuring Length
Length is the term used for identifying the size of an object or distance
from one point to Length is a measure of how long an object is or the distance
between two points. It is used for identifying the size of an object or distance
from one point to another. The length of an object is its extended dimension,
that is, its longest side.
Use the millimeters to measure the small objects like the thickness of a
book, a paper clip or microchips. To measure bigger ones like length of a fork,
a pencil or a book, use only centimeter and to measure longer lengths like
flagpole or a piece of land, use meters. To measure distance between towns, use kilometers.
Measuring Mass
When you want to know how heavy an object is, you are quantifying a
physical attribute of that object called mass. We buy things in cans, jars, and
sachets. Written in these containers are the net weight of the contents. Mass is
the amount of matter an object contains.
Objects like gold ring, a cup of sugar, and a small pack of peanuts are
measured in terms of grams. Heavier measures like the weight of a person and
a sack of rice are expressed in kilograms. Very light objects such as solid
medicine quantity is measured in terms of milligrams.
Measuring Capacity
The volume of a container is the number of a cubic units of space it
encloses. The units of capacity are used to describe how much container will hold.
In the laboratories, the most common device used for measuring
volume of liquid is the graduated cylinder. Most graduated cylinders are calibrated
to the nearest millimeters.
Medicine syrups and soft drink capacities are express in millimeters,
while gasoline and water tanks are given in liters.
“Measuring Temperature
The measure of the hotness and coldness of an object is called
temperature. Gabriel Fahrenheit created the Fahrenheit scale in the early years
of 18th century. He set the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling
point at 212 degrees.
In the latter part of the 18th century, Anders Celsius, a Swedish
astronomer, devised the Celsius scale. He determined the freezing point as 0
degrees and boiling point as 100 degrees.
There is a limit to how cold something can be. The Kelvin scale is designed to
go to zero at this minimum temperature.
Thermometer are used to measure temperature.
The formula for temperature: K
= 273.15 + C
C = 5 (F -32) or C = 𝐹−32
9 1.8
F = 9 (C) +32 or F = 1.8 C + 32

To convert units to another unit using the metric converter, move the decimal point to the left or
right depend upon the direction of movement to the converter, the number of movements are depend
upon the number of spaces corresponds to the power of 10 needed to convert one unit to another.
1. Convert 10.25 kilometers to meters.
Notice in the listing above that meter is three
places to the right of the prefix kilo. This tells
us to move the decimal point three places to
the right. The answer is 10,250 meters.
2. Convert 650 mL to daL. [mL is milliliters and
daL is decaliters].
Notice in the listing above that the prefix deca is
four places to the left of the prefix milli. This tells
us to move the decimal point four places to the
left. The answer is 0.0650 daL. (Note: dL is
deciliters, daL is decaliters.)
3. Convert 750 grams to milligrams.
Notice in the listing above that the prefix milli is
three places to the right of gram. This tells us to
move the decimal point three places to the
right. The answer is 750,000 milligrams.
B. ENGLISH SYSTEM
While the metric system was lawfully accepted for use in the United States in 1866, the US has not
adopted the metric system as its "official" system of measurement. The US English System of
measurement grew out of the manner in which people secured measurements using body parts and
familiar objects. For example, shorter ground distances were measured with the human foot and longer
distances were measured by paces, with one mile being 1,000 paces. Capacities were measured with
household items such as cups, pails (formerly called gallons) and baskets.
Obviously this system allowed for discrepancies between measurements obtained by different individuals.
A standard was eventually set to ensure that all measurements represented the same amount for
everyone.
Length: Weight: Capacity:
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in) 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz) 1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 3 teasponns (tsp)
1 yard (yd) = 3 feet 1 ton = 2000 pounds 1 cup (c) = 16 tablespoons
1 mile (mi) = 5280 feet 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces (oz)
1 mile = 1760 yards 1 pint (pt) = 2 cups
1 quart (qt) = 2 pints
1 gallon (gal) = 4 quarts
Conversion Ratio (or Unit Factor): While the Metric System simply moves the decimal point to convert
between its measurements' prefixes, the English System requires a conversion ratio (or unit factor) to move
between measurements. In the Metric System, the prefix itself gives the needed conversion ratio.
A conversion ratio (or unit factor) is a ratio equal to one. This ratio carries the names of the units to be
used in the conversion. It can be used for conversions within the English and Metric Systems, as well as for
conversions between the systems. The conversion ratio is based upon the concept of equivalent values.
In the example below, one foot is substituted for its equivalent measure of 12 inches.

MATHEMATICS 7 2nd Quarter, Week 7 - 8
- Solves problems involving algebraic expressions, differentiates algebraic expressions, equations and
inequalities and Illustrates linear equation and inequality in one variable
There are many problems that can be solved using Linear Equations. The following steps are
suggested in solving problems using equation.
1. Read and understand the problem.
2. Draw a sketch to visualize the problem
3. Use a variable to represent the quantity being asked. If there are other unknown quantities in the
problem, represent them in terms of the variable used.
4. Write a thought process relating the quantities involved. Write the thought process as an equation
5. Solve equation for the variable.
6. Answer the questions asked.
7. Check the answer if they satisfy all the conditions given in the problem.
Ex: a number relation problem:
The larger of two numbers is 5 less than twice the smaller, and their sum is 28. What are the
numbers?
Solution:
Defining the variable:
Let n = the smaller number
2n – 5 = the larger number
Thought process
[Smaller number) + (the larger number) = 28
Equation:
n + (2n – 5) = 28
Solving Equation:
n + (2n – 5) = 28
n + 2n – 5 = 28
3n = 28 + 5
3n = 33
n = 11
2n – 5 = 2(11) – 5 = 17
Answering the question:
The numbers are 11 and 17
Checking the answer:
The larger number 17 is less than twice the smaller number 11, and the sum of 17 and 11 is 28.
There are two common types of mathematical statement.
1. Equation 2. Inequalities.
Equation and Inequalities contain Expression.
Expressions - It is an expression that contains a variable, a constant or a combination of constant and
variable. It may or may not have an operation symbol.
Ex: 2, 8, x, y, 2x, 4x, 2 + 5, 2x + 47.
Algebraic expressions like phrases in English are incomplete.
Mathematical phrase – it is number phrase that does not express a complete thought.
An equation, like a sentence, is complete. You will notice the inclusion of a very special symbol.
An equation is made up of numbers, variables, and an equal sign.
Equation – is a mathematical sentence indicating that two expressions are equal. The symbol = is used to
denote equality.
Ex: 2 + 5 = 7; x+y=4
An inequality - is a mathematical sentence indicating that two expression are not equal. The relation symbol
>, ≥, <, ≤, ≠ is used to denote inequality:
Ex: a. 5 – 1 > -4 b. 3 + (-8) < 2
The equation which contains only one variable x, is called a linear equation in one variable.
A linear equation in one variable is one which can be written in the form of ax + b = c, where a, b, and c
are any real numbers and a ≠ 0.
The inequality which contains only one variable x, is called a linear inequalities in one variable.
A linear inequalities in one variable is one which can be written in the form of
ax + b > c, ax + b < c, ax + b ≥ c, ax + b ≤ c ax + b ≠ c
where a, b, and c are any real numbers and a ≠ 0.

2nd Quarter, Week 9 a - Finds the solution of linear equation or inequality in one variable
I. Find the solution of an equation involving one variable by applying:
A. Addition Property of Equality
If the same number is added to both sides of an equation, the result on both sides are equal in value.
Thus, for any numbers a, b, and c, if a = b then a + c = b + c.
Illustrate examples:
1. x - 4 = 7 2. y + 9 = -13 3. x + 2 = 10
x–4+4=7+4 y + 9 + (-9) = -13 + (-9) x + 2 + (-2) = 10 + (-2)
x + 0 = 11 y + 0 = -22 x+0=8
x = 11 y = -22 x=8
check: if x = 11 check if x = -22 check if x = 8
x–4=7 y + 9 = -13 x + 2 = 10
11 – 4 = 7 -22 + 9 = -13 8 + 2 = 10
7 =7 -13 = -13 10 = 10
B. Multiplication Property of Equality
An equivalent equation is produced when both sides of an equation is multiplied by the reciprocal of
the numerical coefficient of the variable.

2nd Quarter, Week 9 c - Solves problems involving equations and inequalities in one variable
Solving word problems involving equations in one variable. The following is a list of suggestions when
solving word problems.
1. Read the problem cautiously. Make sure that you understand the meanings of the words used. Be
alert for any technical terms used in the statement of the problem.
2. Read the problem twice or thrice to get an overview of the situation being described.
3. Draw a figure, a diagram, a chart or a table that may help in analyzing the problem.
4. Select a meaningful variable to represent an unknown quantity in the problem (perhaps t, if time is
an unknown quantity) and represent any other unknowns in terms of that variable (since the
problems are represented by equations/inequalities in one variable).
5. Look for a guideline that you can use to set up an equation/ inequality. A guideline might be a
formula, such as distance equals rate times time, or a statement of a relationship, such as “The
sum of the two numbers is 28.”
6. Form an equation/ inequality that contains the variable and that translates the conditions of the
guideline from verbal sentences to equations.
7. Solve the equation/ inequality, and use the solution to determine other facts required to be solved.
8. Check answers to the original statement of the problem and not on the equation/inequality
formulated.
Examples:
1. The sum of two number numbers is 60. The larger is four times the smaller. Find the smaller
number.
Let: Solution: Checking:
x = smaller number x + 4x = 60 x = 12 smaller number
4x = larger number 5x = 60 4x = 4 (12) = 48 larger no.

x = 12
2. Find five consecutive odd integers whose sum is 55.
Let: Solution: Checking:
x = 1st odd number x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = 55 x = 7 → 1st
x + 2 = 2 odd number
nd
5x + 20 = 55 x+2=7+2=9 →
2nd 3rd 4th 5th x + 4 = 3rd odd number 5x = 55 + (-20) x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 →
x + 6 = 4th odd number 5x = 35 x + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13 →

3. Margie is 3 times older than Lilet. In 15 years, the sum of their ages is 38 years. Find their present ages.
Representation:
Age Now In 15 years
Lilet x x + 15
Margie 3x 3x + 15
In 15 years, the sum of their ages is 38 years.
Solution: (x + 15) + (3x + 15) = 38 Checking: Age Now In 15 years
4x + 30 = 38 Lilet x=2 x + 15
4x = 38 + (-30) 2 + 15 = 17
4x = 8 Margie 3x = 3(2) = 6 3x + 15
4 4 3(2) + 15
x=2 6 + 15 = 21
The sum of these ages is 21 + 17 = 38.
4. The sum of two consecutive integers is less than fifteen. Find the numbers.
Let x = smaller number Solution: Possible Values:
x + 1 = bigger number x + x + 1 < 15 x = 6, 5, 4, …
2x + 1 < 15 x + 1 = 7, 6, 5, …
2x < 15 – 1
