Motivation

Our lesson yesterday was all about

algebraic expressions, maam.

Class, what was our lesson
yesterday? Yes, Evita?
Very good! And what are
algebraic expressions again?
Yes, Sonny?
Very good! Thats right!
Algebraic expressions are
mathematical expressions
obtained by addition,
subtraction, multiplication, or
division of numbers and letters
representing numbers.
Now, who would like to write
examples of algebraic
expressions on the board?

They are obtained by using the basic

operations using numbers and
letters, Maam.

(Students raise their hands.)

(The students who were called will

write one example of an algebraic
expression.)

(The teacher will call ten students

who will write examples of algebraic
expressions on the board.)
(The teacher will identify the
polynomials in each algebraic
expression written on the board.)

Maam, because they have positive

exponents and they dont have
decimals.

Now, why do you think I have

chosen these expressions as
polynomials? Yes, Evita?
Great! Polynomials have
positive exponents, thus,
having no decimals as their
exponents.
(The teacher will write the students
observations on the board.)
How about you Elaine? What
have you observed in the given
examples?
Very good observation class!
Those things you mentioned a
while ago are the
characteristics of polynomials.
Will you please read Manilyn?

They dont have negative exponents

and fractions as exponents, Maam.

(Manilyn will read the writings on the

board.)
A polynomial should only have
positive exponents.

Thats right! In short, what should a

polynomial have? Yes, Shiela?

Polynomials, Maam.

C.Presentation and
Development of the
Lesson
Now, what do you think is our
lesson for today? Yes,
Gemma?
Correct! Our lesson for today
is about polynomials but before
that, let us first discuss
monomials.
(The teacher will write
examples of monomials on the
board.)
Now, based on the given
examples, how can you define
now monomials? Yes, Elaine?
(The teacher again will write the
students observations.)
Very good! Monomials are also
algebraic expressions. What
else Annie?
Yes, thats right. They do not
contain operation signs
because they consist only of
only one term. A monomial is
a number or a product of a
number and one or more
variables with positive integral
exponents. Will you give
another example of a
monomial, Edward?
Very good, what else
Jennelyn?.
Correct! Now, lets proceed to
polynomials. Based on the
examples a while ago, how can
you define polynomials? Yes,
Mary Joy?

It is also an algebraic expression,

Maam.

They dont have operation signs,

Maam.
3x Maam.

1 Maam.
They also contain monomials.

Thats right! Polynomials

contain monomials. In fact, a
polynomial is a monomial or a
sum of two or more
monomials.
There are four types of
polynomials.
(The teacher will go back to the
examples a while ago and write
whether they are monomial,
binomial, trinomial, or
multinomial.)

They have two terms Maam.

They have three monomials,

Maam.

Multinomial has more than three

terms, Maam.

Now class, based on the

examples a while ago, I have
labeled them with the types of
polynomials, so what can you
say about the second type
which is called binomial? Yes,
Ada?
Correct! Binomials consist of
two terms or two monomials.
How about trinomial,
Jessamine?
Very good! Trinomials have
three terms or three
monomials. How about the last
one, Manilyn?
Great! A multinomial has
more than three monomials or
terms.

Numerical coefficient is the number

before the letters, Maam.

Constants are just the number itself,

Maam.

Now, lets proceed to the

parts of a term in a
polynomial.
(The teacher will go back again
to the examples a while ago
and pick one example, and
then identify its numerical
coefficient and constant term.)
Based on the example, what
can you say about the
numerical coefficient of a
term? Yes, Bernadeth?

13 Maam.
-29 Maam.

Yes, Maam.
Correct! The numerical
coefficient of a term refers to
the number in front of a
variable in a term including the
sign. How about the constant?
Yes, Heherson?

(The students will do just what the

teacher says.)

Excellent! When a term does

not contain any variable, it is
called constant. How about in
this example?
(The teacher will pick another
example from a while ago.)

Yes, Maam.
(The students will do the Follow-up
Practice.)

What is the numerical

coefficient of x? Yes, Cathy?

Yes, Maam.

Correct! How about the

constant, Liezel?
Very Good! Now class, are you
ready for a seatwork?

(The students will do just what the

teacher says.)
(Students raise their hands.)

Okay, bring out your books

and a piece of paper.
D. Guided Practice
(seatwork---individual)
Class, go to page 255 of your
Math Book and answer the
Follow-up Practice. I will give
you 15 minutes to answer and
then we will check your
answers later, okay?
(After 15 minutes)
Class, are you done?
Thats good. Now, pass your
papers clockwise. One, two,
three,
Who would like to answer on
the board?
(The teacher will call students
to answer on the board and
discuss the answers with the
class.)
Return the papers to the

(Students raise their hands as the

teacher says their scores.)

(The students will do just what the

teacher says.)

owners. Who got perfect? Very

good. How about nine? Eight?
Seven?
Okay class, pass your papers
at the center and copy your
assignment.
