CONTROL GROUP

A SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 8

(Date)

I. At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to

A. Identify the PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Division/Multiplication,
Addition/Subtraction)
B. Simplify the order of operations.
C. Show collaboration through group activity

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Simplifying the Order of Operations
Reference: Mathematics Module
Materials: Green board, chalk, visual aids, marker, manila paper, jigsaw puzzle
pieces

III. Procedure
A. Preparation
 Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking of attendance
B. Review
The teacher will group the students into six. In five minutes, each group will
simplify the various expressions posted on the board. The answers will be
written on manila paper provided by the teacher. The group with the most
correct answer wins.

Sample Items:
1. 3 × 2 × 2 = 12
2. 15 ÷ 3 + 2 = 7
3. 25 − 20 + 3 = 8
4. 7 ÷ 7 × 4 = 4
5. 6 + (−6) = 0
The winning group will be given “Ang Galing Clap”

C. Motivation
Another activity will be given to students which entitled “What Am I?”
With the same group, they will receive jigsaw puzzle pieces and they will
solve the puzzle in five minutes. After finishing the activity each group will
post their work on the board.

Questions:
 What symbols were formed by the jigsaw puzzle pieces?
 What do the symbols indicate or show?
 Do you think there is an order for which operation must be used first?

D. Lesson Proper
The teacher will post on the board the definition of order of operations. The
teacher will introduce to students one of the methods used in simplifying the
 order of operations which is PEMDAS. It is a mnemonic to remember the
rules in the order of operations easily. First, perform the operations that are
inside the parenthesis. Second, simplify the expression with exponent. Third,
perform the multiplication and division as they occur from left to right.
Finally, perform the addition and subtractions as they occur from left to right.
The teacher will provide examples and will further explain the following.

The teacher will ask the following questions:

1. Who can give the order of operations?
2. Ask the learners if they have any questions.

E. Application
Think-pair-Share
Evaluate the expressions:
a. 12 − 3 + 18 ÷ (6 − 5)
b. 7 × 9 − 3 + 8
c. 18 − (12 ÷ 6)2
d. 9 × 9 ÷ 3 − 9 + 6

F. Generalization
RULES IN THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS
1) Perform the operations with each pair of parenthesis.
2) Simplify the expressions with exponents.
3) Perform multiplication and division as they occur from left to right.
4) Perform addition and subtraction as they occur from left to right.

IV. Evaluation
Evaluate the following expressions by following the rules.
1. (9 − 2) + (3 × 4)
2. (18 + 14) ÷ (6 + 2)
3. (62 ÷ 6 + 4 × (4 − 2)
4. (36 − 6) + (3 × 3) + 5
5. 4 × (15 − 32) + 42

V. Assignment
Evaluate the expressions by following the rules.
1. 63 ÷ 7 + 5 + 2 − 6 + 3
2. 6 + (2 × 7 + 5)
3. 3 × (4 + 82) − 8
4. 37 + 3 × 2 ÷ 6
5. 14 ÷ 2 − 3 + 2 × 2
