IV. PROCEDURES
 The teacher gives a short recapitulation about last meetings
discussion.
 The teacher asks the students to give different examples of
 Review previous lesson or factoring.
presenting the new lesson
Note: Always perform factoring using greatest common monomial
factor first before applying any type of factoring.

 The teacher let the students see the association of products

to factors.
 He /She will also ask the student, “Are all polynomial
 Establishing a purpose for expressions factorable?
the lesson
Possible responses:
1. Yes

Answer by group, let the students do Activity 19 nos. 1-3 (Spotting

Errors) found on pg. 49 of LM.

Do as directed.
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.

 Presenting examples/ 2. Can the difference of two squares be applicable to 3x 3 -12x? If yes,
instances of the new lesson how? If no, why?

3. Your classmate factored x2+36 using the difference of two squares.

How will you make him realize that his answer is not correct?

Possible responses:
1. No, the factors of x2 -4x-12 are (x-6) (x+2), while 12-4x- x2 has (2-x)
(6+x) as its factors
 2. Yes, 3x(x2-4), thus 3x3-12x = 3x(x-2)(x+2)
3. Difference of two squares is only applied if the middle operation is
minus.
The teacher discusses the process of arriving at the answer of each
exercise in activity 19. Furthermore, he/she asks the students the
mathematical skills or principle that they used to arrive at the certain
answer. He / She also explains that factoring is very useful in solving
some problems. He/She also introduces the Polya’s method in solving
 Discussing new concepts and
word problems to students.
practicing new skills #1
1. Understanding the problem
2. Devise a plan
3. Carry out a plan
4. Look back

 Discussing new concepts and

practicing new skills #2
Work in pairs, the teacher let the students answer the following.

If the area of a frame is 4a2 - 12a +9 square units, is it possible to solve

 Developing mastery (leads to its side?
formative assessment 3)
Possible responses:
1. Yes, the area is a perfect square trinomial

What is the surface area of the Rubics cube below given the measure
of one of its side?

 Finding practical applications (x +3y)cm

of concepts and skills in daily
living

Possible responses:
1. A= 6s2 ( 6x2+26xy+54y2)cm2

The teacher summarizes the discussion through questions like:

What new realizations do you have about the topic?
 Making generalizations and
Possible responses:
abstractions about the lesson
Knowledge in factoring is very useful and can be apply in real life
situations.

The teacher let the students answer individually the formative

assessment.

Do what is asked. Use Polya’s method in solving.

1. The side of a square is (2x-1) cm. What is the area of the

square? (2 points)
 Evaluating Learning
2. The area of a rectangular garden is (12x2 -8x -15)m2, what
are its dimensions?

Answer Key:
1. 4x2 – 4x +1
2. (6x+5)m by (2x-3)m
