•KNOWLEDGE
•HARDWORK
•ATTITUDE
When a number is substituted or
replace for the variable in a given
algebraic expression, the
expression takes a numerical value.
And finding the value is what we
call “Evaluating the Algebraic
Expression
•Let’s do this example.
Evaluate 6x2 + 3 when:
•a. x = 0
•b. x = -2
•c. x = 1/2
In evaluating algebraicexpressions, what are
the steps that we need to follow?

Substitute the given value

to the variable.
Perform the indicated
operation by following the
rules of PEMDAS.
Group Activity
• Group yourselves into 2
• Choose your leader
• The leader will be the one who can ask me
about the activity and he is also responsible for
dividing the tasks between the members of the
group
• Each group will be given an activity envelope
where you will find the materials for the activity
and the expressions that your group will be
going to evaluate.
