A. Reviewing or ACTIVITY: This activity will check how well students
presenting the new can associate between product and its factors.
lesson
1. Your classmate asserted that x2 – 4x – 12 and 12 – 4x
– x2 has the same factors. Is your classmate correct?
Prove by showing your solution.
Note to the Teacher:
No, the factors of x2 – 4x – 12 are (x – 6)(x + 2),
while 12 – 4x – x2 has (2 – x)(6 + x) as its factors.
B. Establishing a
purpose for the lesson 1. Students can familiarize how to solve problems
algebraically.

C. Presenting examples ACTIVITY 1: Solve the following word problems and

of the new lesson answer the questions that follow.

1. The length of a rectangular garden is 2x – 3 meters and

its with is x - 1 meters. What is the total area of the
rectangular garden?
Solution: Length (l) = 2x – 3; Width (w) = x – 1
Area of a Rectangle = l x w
 2 x  3x  1
 2 x 2  2 x  3x  3
 2 x 2  5x  3
 The total area of the rectangular garden is 2 x 2  5 x  3.

2. The area of square garden is x2 – 14x + 49, find its

dimension.
Solution: Area of a Square = s2
s2 = Area of a Square
s = area of a square
 x 2  14 x  49
 ( x  7)( x  7)
  x  7 2
 x7

 The garden has side of x – 7 meters in order to have an

area of x2 - 14x + 49. Therefore its dimension is x – 7
meters by x – 7 meters.
D. Discussing new Solve the following below.

2. The area of a rectangular field is x2 +x – 6 meters and

its length is x – 2 meters. How long is its width?
Solution: Find the width(w)
Area of a Rectangle = l x w
Area of rec tan gle

F. Developing Mastery Solve the following below.

1. What is the area of a square garden if it has a side of 3x
+ 5 meters? (9x2 + 30x + 25)
2. The area of a rectangular field is x2 +3x + 2 meters and
its length is x +1 meters. How long is its width? (x + 2)
G. Finding practical How special product is applied to real life problems?
applications of Is it important to you as a student? In what particular
concepts and skills in way?
daily living (Expected answer)
Special product and factoring techniques are important
tools for solving real life problems such as finding the
dimension of an enclosed field or box, sharing a cost,
finding average speed or average time covered, and
solving mixture or work problems.

Generalizations and (Expected answer) – In solving problems involving

abstractions about factors of polynomials, it must be solved algebraically. It
the lesson needs time and great patience so that you will be able to
value its contributions to life such as finding the
dimension of an enclosed field or box, sharing a cost,
finding average speed or average time covered, and
solving mixture or work problems.
I. Evaluating learning Solve Me.
1. Your classmate factored x2 + 36 using difference of
two squares. How will you make him realize that his
answer is not correct?
(Difference of two squares is only applied if the middle
operation is minus.)
2. The length and width of a rectangular rice field is 7x –
8 meters and 7x + 8 meters respectively. What is its area?
(49x2 – 64)

J. Additional Make a generalization for the errors found in the

Activities for following polynomials.
application or a. x2 + 4 = (x + 2)(x + 2)
remediation b. 1.6x2 – 9 = (0.4x – 3)(0.4x + 3)
c. 4x2y5 – 12x3 y6 + 2y2 = 2y2 (2x 2y3 – 6x3y4)
d. 3x2 – 27 is not factorable or prime
(Expected Answers)
a. (x + 2)(x + 2) = x2 + 4x + 4
b. (0.4x – 3)(0.4x + 3) = (0.16x2 – 9)
