1. Content Algebraic Expression
2. Topic: Algebraic Expression
3. Specific aims applicable
To get learners know the following
An expression with one term only, like 3x2, is a monomial.
An expression which is a sum of two terms, like 5x + 4, is called a binomial.
An expression which is a sum of three terms, like 3x3 + 2x + 9, is called a trinomial.
4. Specific skills appropriate (3)
Interpret and manipulate algebraic expression
Simplify algebraic expression using addition and subtraction.
Simplify algebraic expression using multiplication and division.
5. Context that is applicable (5)
6. Teacher’s activity - how to facilitate learning including teaching methods (5)
Mathematics teacher has the ability to impart knowledge and skills; his role is to facilitate teaching and
learning process.
The teacher plans the lesson and prepares the lesson presentation on Algebraic Expression.
The teacher explained the topic contents (equivalent algebraic expressions, conventions for writing
algebraic expressions and Properties of operations).
The teacher assessed learners to see if they understood the lesson.
7. Learners’ activities (What will the learners do) (5)
Learners listened to the teacher’s presentation.
Wrote summary notes
Asked questions on aspects they did not understand.
Answered teacher’s questions and wrote class activity.
8. Content range that is applicable- explain in terms of concepts and skills (4)

10. Assessment – specify types of assessment, method of assessment and method of collecting
assessment evidence; also specify what will be assessed and how it will be assessed. (5)
Informal assessmenteither planned or incidental; done on an on-going, continuous, daily basis; in
varied forms like class work and group work; done during the task to monitor progress; done to
provide immediate feedback and used to see if learners understand.
Baseline assessment it is before teaching to establish what learners already know and can do. This
may happen at the beginning of a phase, a grade or a topic. It helps the teacher with the planning of
the learning programme and activities. In grade 9 the teacher starts with classroom activity, from
Grade 8 learners are simplifying the following algebraic expression using the concept “like terms”: 4ab
− 2a + a2b + ab − a (ab + 3).
Diagnostic assessment content related diagnostic assessment is done to establish which aspect of
mathematics a learner has difficulty to understand. Often, the teacher can make this diagnosis herself
and assist the learner in- or after class.
Formative assessment is used to aid and improve the teaching and learningprocesses, hence
assessment for learning. It is the most commonly used typeof assessment because it can be used in
different forms at any time duringa mathematics lesson, e.g. mental mathematics (oral or written),
class workactivities during or at the end of each lesson (written), verbal questioning duringthe lesson
(oral) and homework (written). Not only the teacher, but also thelearners themselves need to reflect on
their progress, and learn the skill ofself-assessment. Self- and peer assessment allows learners to
learn from, andreflect on their own performance.
11. Reflection-(Evaluate your lesson in terms of specific aims and skills). (4)
