IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing or ACTIVITY: REMEMBER ME?
presenting the new
lesson The teacher will guide the students to answer the following;

Recall finding the special product in this form:

Prepared by: NONEDE B. OBENITA

 MATHEMATICS RESOURCE PACKAGE

( x + 8) ( x – 8 ) = x2 – 64

( 2x + 4) ( 2x – 4) = 4x2 – 16

( 3a + 5) ( 3a – 5) = 9a2 – 25

QUESTIONS:
1. What have you observe on the product?
Expected answer: when we multiply two binomials with positive and
negative signs in between the product has two terms.
2. What do you call this product?
Ans. Binomial
3. Is there a relation between the special product and sum and difference
of two squares based on the given above?
Ans. Yes!
Teacher will process the different responses of the learners.
B. Establishing a ACTIVITY: FIND MY PRODUCT!
purpose for the Note: Let the learners identify the pattern.
lesson a. (x + 1) (x – 1)
= x2 – 1
b. (x + y) (x – y)
= x2 – y2

1. What is the product of the binomials?

Ans. x2 – 1 and x2 – y2
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 ACTIVITY: Let’s EXPLORE!

of the new lesson Examples of Factoring polynomials using sum and difference of two
squares.
1. x2 – 1
= (x + 1) (x – 1)
2. x2 – y2
=
(x + y) (x – y)
3. x2 – 4
= (x + 2)(x – 2)

QUESTIONS:
1. How many factors did you obtain?
Ans. Two factors

Prepared by: NONEDE B. OBENITA

 MATHEMATICS RESOURCE PACKAGE

2. What are your observations based on the factors?

Expected ans. The factors are the positive square roots of each
term.
3. What is the operation on the first factor? How about the second
factor?
Ans. First factor- positive, second- negative

(Teacher must guide every responses of the learner and discuss the topic)
D. Discussing new ACTIVITY: COMPARE US!
concepts and
practicing new skills Take a look of the following:
#1
(x + 1)(x-1) = x2 – 1 = (x+1)(x-1)

1. 1. What is being shown on the first arrow?

2. Ans. Showed the product of two binomials.
3. 2. How about the second arrow?
4. Ans. Showed the factors of the product
5. 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 ACTIVITY: Tell Me What I am?
concepts and
practicing new skills Teacher will group the learners into five. Allow the learners find their
#2 own group members but the leader are choosen 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. x2 + 9 Ans. No Teacher must correct

2. x2 – 9 Ans. Yes
immediately every wrong
3. 4x2 – 25 Ans. Yes
responses of the learner.
4. y2 – 16 Ans. Yes
5. 36y2 + 121 Ans. No
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 ACITIVITY: GIVE YOUR OWN!

daily living sum and difference of two squares.

Example:
A 5m x 5m landscaping is to be done in one corner of a 20m x
20m garden. Find the area of the field that was not affected by the project.

(teacher will guide the learner in leading the correct answer)

H. Making Guide Questions for Generalization:
Generalizations and
abstractions about  Describe a polynomial that can be factored using sum and difference
the lesson 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 Self-check!

Instructions: Factor each of the following polynomials:

1. a2 – 16 = (a + 4) (a – 4)
2. 9x2 – 4 = (3x + 2) (3x – 2)
3. 64c2 – 1 = (8c + 1) (8c – 1)
4. 100y2 – 49z2 = (10y + 7z) (10y – 7z)
5. y2 – 81 = (y + 9) (y – 9)

J. Additional ACITIVITY: NUMBER PATTERN!

Activities for
application or Instructions: Investigate the number pattern by comparing the products.
remediation
a. (11)(9) = (10 + 1)(10 – 1) = 100 – 1 = Ans. 99
b. (5)(3) = (4 + 1)(4 – 1) = 16 – 1 = Ans. 15
c. (101)(99) = (90 + 5)(90 – 5) = 10000 – 1 = Ans. 9,999
