A. Reference: Mathematics – Grade 7 (Teacher’s Guide) Department of Education
B. Material: Visual Aid tiles.
C. Values: Patience and Critical Thinking

III. Procedure:

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Daily Activities
1. Prayer
(One student will lead the prayer)
“Everybody please stand, class let us pray…”

2. Greetings

“Good morning class…” “Good morning Sir!”

B. Review

“All right class, who can tell everyone what “Sir, our topic yesterday was all about Adding
was our lesson yesterday all about?” and Subtracting Polynomials.”

“Very good!”

Sir, we must remember to combine like terms

“What are the things we need to remember in
the variable and the power of each variable
adding and subtracting polynomials?” must be exactly the same.”
 “That’s right!
Seems that you already understand our lesson
yesterday. Are all of you now ready for our
“Yes Sir!”
new topic today?”

C. Lesson Proper
“Our lesson for today is all about Multiplication
of Polynomials
Familiarize yourself with the following tiles:
(Students listen Attentively)

Stands for (+x)

Stands for (-x)

Stands for (+x2)

Stands for (-x2)

Stands for (+1)

Stands for (-1)

Examples:

X2 -x

+1

Stands for x2-x+1

 Stands for
x2-4x+2

Monomial by Monomial
To multiply monomial by simply multiply the
numerical coefficients then multiply the literal
coefficients by applying the basic laws of
exponent.

Examples:
1) (x3)(x5) = x8
2) (3x2)(-5x) = -15x3
3) (-8x2y3)(-9xy8) = 72x3y11

x X2

Monomial by polynomial
To multiply monomial by a polynomial, simply
apply the distributive property and follow the
rule in multiplying monomial by a monomial.

Examples:
1) 3x (x2 – 5x + 7) = 3x3 – 15x2 + 21x
2) -5x2y3 (2x2y – 3x + 4y5) = -10x4y4 + 15x3y3 –
20x2y8

Binomial by Binomial
To multiply binomial by another binomial,
simply distribute the first term of the first
binomial to each term of the other binomial
then distribute the second term to each term of
the other binomial and simplify the results by
combining similar terms. This procedure is
also known as the F-O-I-L method or Smile
method. Another way is the vertical way of
multiplying which is the conventional one.

Examples:
1. (x + 3)(x + 5) = x2 + 8x + 15
2. (x - 5)(x + 5) = x2 + 5x – 5x – 25 = x2 – 25
3. (x + 6)2 = (x + 6)(x + 6) = x2 + 6x + 6x + 36 =
x2 + 12x + 36
4. (2x + 3y)(3x – 2y) = 6x2 – 4xy + 9xy – 6y2 =
6x2 + 5xy – 6y2
5. (3a – 5b)(4a + 7) = 12a2 + 21a – 20ab –
35b
There are no similar terms so it is already in
simplest form.

Polynomial with more than one term to

polynomial with three or more terms.
To multiply a polynomial with more than one
term by a polynomial with three or more terms,
simply distribute the first term of the first
polynomial to each term of the other
polynomial. Repeat the procedure up to the
last term and simplify the results by combining
similar terms.

Examples:
1) (x + 3)(x2 – 2x + 3) = x(x2 – 2x + 3) – 3(x2 –
2x + 3)
= x3 – 2x2 + 3x – 3x2 + 6x – 9
= x3 – 5x2 + 9x – 9
2) (x2 + 3x – 4)(4x3 + 5x – 1) = x2(4x3 + 5x – 1)
+ 3x(4x3 + 5x – 1) - 4(4x3 + 5x
– 1)
= 4x5 + 5x3 – x2 + 12x4 + 15x2 – 3x – 16x3 –
20x
+4
= 4x5 + 12x4 – 11x3 + 14x2 – 23x + 4
3) (2x – 3)(3x + 2)(x2 – 2x – 1) = (6x2 – 5x –
6)(x2 – 2x – 1)
= 6x4 – 17x3 – 22x2 + 17x + 6

*Do the distribution one by one.

Activities:
Now, find the following products and use the
tiles. (Students perform the activity)
1.) (3x)(x) 2.) (-x)(1+x) 3. (3-x)(x+2)
Discuss with you seatmate about your
answers.

Analysis:
How did you solve the problem class? “We just follow the steps Sir.”

Did you discuss your answer with your “Yes Ma’am and we do have the same
seatmates? answers”

Abstraction:
What are the steps in multiplying polynomials? “We could use the FOIL method and using
vertical way of multiplying numbers.”

Application in Problem Solving

Read each problem carefully and then solve it (Students answer the problem)
1) What is the area of the square whose side
measures (2x – 5) cm?
(Hint: Area of the square = s2)

2) Find the volume of the rectangular prism

whose length, width and height
are (x + 3) meter, (x – 3) meter and (2x + 5)
meter. (Hint: Volume of rectangular prism = l x
w x h)

3) If I bought (3x + 5) pencils which cost (5x –

1) pesos each, how much will I pay for it?
D. Generalization
“Now class what are the things that you have
learned and should remember in multiplying
polynomials?”
“Sir I learned that in multiplying
polynomials you must first multiply each term
in one polynomial by each term in the other
polynomial
add those answers together, and simplify if
needed “

“Just like her Sir you need to distribute each

term of the first polynomial to every term of the
second polynomial. Remember that when you
multiply two terms together you must multiply
the coefficient (numbers) and add the
exponents”.

“Sir I also remember that the product of a

“Yes Class, how about the others? What have
positive multiplied by a positive will be positive.
you learned?”
The product of a negative multiplied by a
negative will be positive.
The product of a positive multiplied by a
negative will be negative.”

“Thank you for your answers class.”
