Activity/Motivation Group the students into 6 groups. Each group will guess the word
being implied by the given pictures and jumbled letters. The first
group to give the correct word will have a point and the group who
will garner the highest points will be the winner.
WORDS are related to the topic that will be discussed in the lesson.
Teacher: Are you all ready?
Students: Yes ma’am!

/concept Possible Groupings of Similar Radical Expressions:
/concIusion 5 √2 , 6 √2 , 7 √2
/abstraction should 5 √3 , 6 √3 , 7 √3
the learners 5 √5 , 6 √5 , 7 √5
arrive at?
√3 4 , 3 √3 4 , 5 √3 4
Analysis The teacher asks:
• What did your group do to arrange radical expressions?
(arrange themselves)
• What did each member in your group do? (cooperate)
• Which of the radicals have the same index and radicand?
• What should we consider in identifying similar radical
expressions?
Abstraction Radical expressions can be combined by addition and
subtraction if they are similar.
Similar radicals or like radicals are expressions of the same
order and having the same radicands.
√ 2 ,3 √ 2 ,−4 √ 2, SIMILAR
4√ 5, √3 3 DISSIMILAR
Before adding or subtracting radicals, it is important to reduce them
to its simplest form.
To add or subtract radicals, combine their coefficients and prefix
their common radicand, or apply the distributive property and prefix
their common radicand.
Simplify by combining like radicals.
1. 5√ 2 + 4 √ 2 - 6 √ 2
2. 9√ 5 - 2 √ 5 - 4 √ 3+ √ 3
3. √ 32 + √ 128
4. 3 √ 4 x - √ 9 x
5. 4√ 3 - √ 27
Solutions will be shown on the board.

Generalization:
When can we add or subtract radical expressions?
-If the radical expressions are similar, then we can add or subtract
them.
How do we know if a radical expression is similar?
-When the radical expressions have the same order (index) and
radicand.
Practice Application Perform the indicated operations. Write it in a ½ crosswise.
