IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing or presenting the new lesson
The teacher will provide at least three pictures.
- Divide the class into five groups (each group will use
- THINK, PAIR and SHARE strategy).
- Provide each group with pictures.
- Let the learners identify the difference of the pictures
- Guide the students to answer the following:
- What is/are the picture?
- What have you observed on the picture?
- Did you find any common?
- Process all groups’ answers.
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
Motive Questions:
1. What are the things common to these pictures? (answers may vary)
2. Are there things that make them different?
3. What is/are the thing/s common to two pictures but not found on the other? (answers may vary)
Note: The teacher must lead the students to the concept of “Factoring with the common monomial factor”
(answers may vary)
C. Presenting examples of the new lesson
ACTIVITY: Do we have a common?
Identify the common term of each polynomial through prime factorization.
1. $2ab + 2ac – 2a$
Ans. $2a$
2. $20{x^2} – 12$
Ans. $4$
3. $x(a-b) + y(a-b)$
Ans. $(a-b)$
Ask the following:
- What are the prime factors of each term?
- What is the common factor?
- How did you identify the common factor?
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
BIG IDEA!
The teacher will discuss this statement.
Common monomial factoring is the process of writing a polynomial as a product of two polynomials, one of which is a monomial that factors each term of the polynomial.
Every expression has itself and the number 1 as a factor. These are called the trivial factors. If a monomial is the product of two or more variables or numbers, then it will have factors other than itself and 1.
Note: teacher will provide at least three examples.
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
ACTIVITY: Match it to me!
Instructions: Match the polynomial in column A to its factors in column B.
| A | B |
|---|---|
| 1. ${x^3}{y^2} +x{y^3} + 2{x^2}{y^3}$ |
$x{y^2}({x^2} + y + 2xy)$ |
| 2. ${x^3} + {x^2}y + x{y^2}$ |
$3({y^2} – 5y – 4) $ |
| 3. $3{y^2} – 15y – 12$ |
$xy({x^2} + x + y)$ |
F. Developing Mastery
ACTIVITY: Group Activity
Cite one real-life situation that demonstrates polynomial with common monomial factor.
Note: The teacher may elaborate responses of the learners.
G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
H. Making Generalizations and abstractions about the lesson
Guide Questions for Generalization:
1. What is a polynomial?
(Expected answer: Polynomial is an expression of one or more algebraic terms.)
2. How can we obtain the factors of polynomials using common monomial factor?
(Expected answer: through the GCF.)
3. What concepts have you learned from factoring that can be applied in your daily living? (answer may vary)
I. Evaluating learning
Individual Work
Instructions:
Find the GCF of the following monomials.
1. $a{x^4}, {-a^2}{x^6}, {a^3}{x^2} $
2. $56{x^2}, -4x, -12$
3. $ab{x^2}, - axz,bxy$
Factor the following polynomials.
4. $5{y^2} + 10$
5. $14{p^2} + 21$
