IV. PROCEDURES
ACTIVITY: REMEMBER ME?
The teacher will guide the students to answer the following;
Recall finding the special product in this form:
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
ACTIVITY: FIND MY PRODUCT!
Note: Let the learners identify the pattern.
a. $(x + 1) (x – 1)$
$= {x ^2} – 1$
b. $(x + y) (x – y)$
$= x ^2 – y^ 2$
1. What is the product of the binomials?
Ans. $x ^2 – 1$ and ${x^2} –{ y^2}$
2. Did you observe any pattern?
Ans. Yes!
3. If we are going to reverse the process, is it possible to find any
pattern?
Ans. Yes, it is possible.
Teacher must process the responses of the learners.
C. Presenting examples of the new lesson
ACTIVITY: Let’s EXPLORE!
Examples of Factoring polynomials using sum and difference of two squares.
1. ${x^ 2} – 1$
$= (x + 1) (x – 1)$
2. $x^2 – y^2$
$= (x + y) (x – y)$
3. $x^2 – 4$
$= (x + 2)(x – 2)$
QUESTIONS:
1. How many factors did you obtain?
Ans. Two factors
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
ACTIVITY: COMPARE US!
Take a look of the following:
$(x + 1)(x-1) \to x^2 – 1 \to (x+1)(x-1)$
1. What is being shown on the first arrow?
Ans. Showed the product of two binomials.
2. How about the second arrow?
Ans. Showed the factors of the product
3. What are your observation/s?
Expected ans. The factors are the positive square roots of each term.
Teacher must guide the different responses of the learner.
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
ACTIVITY: Tell Me What I am?
Teacher will group the learners into five. Allow the learners find their own group members but the leader are chosen by the teacher.
Instructions: Using the pattern you have learned, tell whether the following can be factored using sum and difference of two squares.
1. $x^2+9$
2. $x^2-9$
3. $4{x^2}-25$
4. $y^2-16$
5. $36{y^2}+21$
F. Developing Mastery
ACTIVITY: CREATE YOUR OWN!
Let the learners formulate their own given binomials that can be factored using sum and difference of two terms. Let them solve on the board. (Answers may vary)
Teacher will select volunteer from the class.
G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
H. Making Generalizations and abstractions about the lesson
Guide Questions for Generalization:
- Describe a polynomial that can be factored using sum and difference of two squares?
Ans. The sign in between is negative.
- What have you observed on the first term? How about the second term?
Ans. First term- Perfect square, second term- perfect square
- What can you conclude based on your observation? Possible answer: (First term) 2 – (Second term) 2 =(First term + Second term) (First term – Second term)
I. Evaluating learning
Instructions: Factor each of the following polynomials:
1. $a^2 – 16 = (a + 4) (a – 4)$
2. $9{x^2} – 4 = (3x + 2) (3x – 2)$
3. $64c^2 – 1 = (8c + 1) (8c – 1)$
4. $100{y^2} – 49{z^2} = (10y + 7z) (10y – 7z)$
5. $y^2 – 81 = (y + 9) (y – 9)$
