Procedure / Development of Learning Activity:

1. Give a brief lecture about real numbers such as natural and whole numbers and integers.
Natural = 1,2,3…, Whole = 0,1,2,…, Integers = ….-2,-1,0,-1,….
2. Given the coordinates of A,B, and C on the graph. The students will tell what number is the coordinate of these letters.

3. Given several real-life situations to the students, have them write the appropriate algebraic expressions.

  • 25 degrees above zero
  • a 5 yard loss in football
  • withdrawal of $250 from a checking account
  • a gain of 1-1/2 on the stock market

4. Give a better concept of how to identify > (greater than) or < (less than) by using the chalkboard.
