4. Can you now write the factors of the polynomials?
5. Make a conjuncture on how to factor by groupings.

 Let the students report their outputs.

 Process with questions.

Abstraction:
The teacher will discuss what is factoring by groupings:

Factoring by grouping is not distributing or unwrapping

polynomials.
The simplest situation in which we can factor by grouping is when we
have a four-term polynomial whose first two terms have their own
common factor, and whose last two terms have their own common
factor.

6x2 + 3x + 20x + 10

6x2  3x  20x  10
1st Term 2nd Term 3rd Term 4th Term
 The polynomial has 4 terms
 Group these terms into 2 in which the first group is the first
two terms of the polynomials and the 2nd group is the last two
terms of the polynomial.

each of the terms in each group

Steps
Group these terms into 2 in which the (10x2 + 5x) + (-4x -2)
first group is the first two terms of the
polynomials and the 2nd group is the
last two terms of the polynomial.

Take each group at a time and find a 1st Group : (10x2 + 5x)

E. Discussing the
new concepts and Factoring trinomials ax2 + bx + c by grouping.
practicing new skills
#2
 A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial. 
 Trinomials often (but not always!) have the form x2 + bx + c.
 At first glance, it may seem difficult to factor
trinomials and polynomials with even more terms, but a
technique called grouping has the answer.

Factoring trinomials ax2 + bx + c by grouping is also called ac-product

method.

The teacher will discuss the steps on this type of method.

Factor: 3x2 + 11x + 10

Steps
1. Find a and c in ax2 + bx + c 3x2 + 11x + 10
a = 3 c = 10 ac = 30
2. List all the factors of ac. (1) (30), (2) (15), (3) (10), (5) (6)

Then find the factors that add 5 and 6 add to 11.

up to bx.

Write ax2 + bx + c as a four 3x2 + (5x+6x) + 10

term by replacing bx with the
two factors 5x and 6x.

Remove the parenthesis 3x2 + 5x+6x + 10

3. Find the GCF and factor the x (3x + 5) + 6x + 10

first two terms
4. Find the GCF and factor the x (3x + 5) + 2(3x + 5)
last two terms.

Factor out (3x + 5) from the (3x+5) (x+2)

two expression
5. Multiply the binomial factors 3x2 + 11x + 10 = (3x+5) (x+2)
to check the results

3x2 + 11x + 10 = (3x+5) (x+2)

Factor: 6x2 + 11x + 3

Steps
1. Find a and c in ax2 + bx + 6x2 + 11x + 3
c a = 6 c = 3 ac = 18
2. List all the factors of ac. (1) (18), (2) (9), (3) (6)

Then find the factors that add 2 and 9 add to 11.

up to bx.
 Write ax2 + bx + c as a four 6x2 + (9x+2x) + 3
term by replacing bx with the
two factors 9x and 2x.

Remove the parenthesis 6x2 + 9x+2x + 3

3. Find the GCF and factor the 3x (2x + 3) + 2x + 3

first two terms
4. Find the GCF and factor the 3x (2x + 3) + (2x + 3)
last two terms.

Factor out (2x + 3) from the

two expression (2x+3) (3x+1)
5. Multiply the binomial factors 6x2 + 11x + 3 = (2x+3) (3x+1)
to check the results

6x2 + 11x + 3 = (2x+3) (3x+1)

The teacher will discuss the general rules on factoring by

grouping.
Rules in Factoring by groupings:
1. Group terms that have a common monomial factor. There
will be usually two groups. Sometimes the terms must be
rearranged.
2. Factor out the common monomial factor each group.
3. Factor out the remaining binomial factor (if there exist)

F. Developing The teacher will ask to learners to go to their groups. Each group
mastery (guides to will be given another set of activity sheet containing expressions
formative for factoring by groupings
assessment)
1st Set 2nd Set
2y  + y  - 8y2 - 4y
3 2
2y  + y  + 8y2 + 4y.

5x2+ 13x + 3 5x2- 13x + 3
6x2 - 19x + 10 6x2 + 19x + 10
