of polynomials.

B. Performance Standard The learner is able to formulate real-life problems involving factors
of polynomials.

C. Learning Competency/Objectives Learning competency: Factors completely different types of

Write the LC code for each. polynomials. M8AL-Ia-b-1

1. Illustrate general trinomial

2. Identify the factors of general trinomial

3. Show interest in factoring

4. Demonstrate cooperation during activity

II. CONTENT Factoring ( General trinomial)

III. LEARNING RESOURCES Curriculum Guide, Teacher’s Guide, Learner’s Material, Suggested
References Localization and Contextualization

IV. PROCEDURES

A. Reviewing previous lesson or  The teacher gives a short recapitulation about last meetings
discussion.
presenting the new lesson  The teacher asks the students: “How do you factor perfect
square trinomial?”

Possible responses:

1. Factor out first the greatest common monomial factor before

factoring the perfect square trinomial.

2. a. Get the square root of the first and last terms.

b. List down the square root as sum/difference of two terms

as the case may be.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson  The teacher let the students see the association of products
to factors.
 He /She will also ask the student, “Are all trinomials perfect?
How do we factor trinomials that are not perfect squares?

Possible responses:

1. No
2. Get the greatest common monomial factor

C. Presenting examples/ instances of the Let the students find a pair, and let them do Activity 11 (Tile once
new lesson more!) found on pg. 39 of LM.
 3x3 3x3 3x3 3x3

Form squares using:

 1 big square tile, 5 rectangular tiles, and 6 small square.

 1 big square tile, 6 rectangular tiles, and 8 small squares.
 2 big square tile, 7 rectangular tiles, and 5 small squares.
 3 big square tiles, 7 rectangular tiles, and 4 small square.
 4 big square tiles, 7 rectangular tiles, and 3 small squares.

Ex Possible responses:

1. A=LxW

A = (X+2)( X+3)

2. X 2 +5X +6

3. By adding all the tiles

4. No

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing The teachers discusses the process of arriving at the answer of
new skills #1 each exercise in activity 11. 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 the polynomials formed
are called general trinomial.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing The teacher discusses and illustrates thoroughly the definition of a
new skills #1 general trinomial as presented on page 39-44 of the learner’s
material, and he/ she presented the steps on how to factor general
trinomial as shown on page 41

F. Developing mastery Work in pairs, the teacher let the students answer Activity 12
(Factor Bingo Game) on page 41 of learner’s material. The teacher
(Leads to Formative Assessment 3)
should see to it that the students understand Instruction and
determine the factor accurately and with accuracy.

G. Finding practical applications of

concepts and skills in daily living

H. Making generalizations and abstractions The teachers summarizes the discussion (Factoring general
about the lesson trinomial) through questions like:

1. How do you factor trinomial?

2. What will you consider in factoring?

 Possible responses:

1. To factor trinomial with 1 as the numerical coefficient of the

leading term:

a. Factor the leading term of the trinomial and write these

factors as the leading terms of the factors;
b. List down all the factors of the last term;
c. Identify which factor pair sums up to the middle term; then
d. Write each factor in the pairs as the last term of the
binomial factors.

Note: Always perform factoring using greatest common monomial

factor first before applying any type of factoring.

I. Evaluating learning T The teacher let the students answer individually the formative
assessment.
Determine the factors of the following trinomials.
1. a2+2ab+b2
2. x2-3x-4
3. x2+4x+4
Answer Key:
1. (a+b) (a+b)
2. (x-4)(x+1)
3. (x+2)(x+2)
J. Additional activities for application or Factor the following.
remediation 1. r2+rn+n2
2. c4+6c2+9
V. REMARKS

VI. REFLECTION

A. No. of learners who earned 80% in the

evaluation
B. No. of learners who require additional
activities for remediation who scored
below 80%
C. Did the remedial lessons work? No. of
learners who have caught up with the
lesson
D. No. of learners who continue to require
remediation
E. Which of my teaching strategies worked
well? Why did these work?
F. What difficulties did I encounter which my
principal or supervisor can help me solve?
