look at the differences and forever highlight one's
advantage or superiority over the others. Or we can
 focus on the commonality among people and
altogether, work for the common good.

Congratulations!

F. Valuing :a+0=a
From our lesson, it explains how a•1=a
expression can be arranged into an
: a + (-a) = 0
equation and no matter what process we
a•(1/a) = 1
do, we still can get the same answer.

(The teacher shall flash the word

EQUATION).

Now, how is our society related to an

equation, Karen?
 Truly! A peaceful society and harmonious
relationship starts with recognizing,
appreciating and fully maximizing the
positive traits that we, as a people, have in
common.

G. Generalization
What are properties of the operations on
integers, Nemuel?

What is the notation and symbol for

closure property, Fredrick?

How about for commutative property,

Kelly?

May we know for associative property,

Joezer?

How about for distributive property,

Rowena?

What is the notation and symbol for

identity property, Stephie?

Lastly, for inverse property, Angelito?

IV. EVALUATION
Which property of real number justifies each statement?
1. 2(3 - 5) = 2(3) - 2(5)
2. 1 x (-9) = -9
3. 2(5) = 5(2)

V. ASSIGNMENT/AGREEMENT
Make 5 equations showing the different properties of the operations on integers.

Let’s call it a day, class. Goodbye!
