IV. Teaching Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Prayer
Kindly stand for the prayer class. Please lead
the prayer, Joyce. Let’s bow down our heads and let us pray.

Amen.

2. Greetings
Good morning, class. Good morning, Ma’am.
Before you take your seats, kindly pick up
some pieces of paper under your chairs.
After that, make sure that your chairs are
properly arranged.

3. Checking of Attendance
Class monitor, kindly check the attendance.
4. Review/Drill
Before we proceed to our new lesson, let’s
have a quick review. What was our previous Its all about polynomial expression.
lesson?

What is a polynomial expression? A polynomial expression is an expression consisting of

variables and coefficients that involves only the
operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and
non-negative integer exponents of variables.

Very good!
Will you please give an example of a
polynomial expression.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Motivation
Now, I will be presenting questions that are
related to our topic for today. For those who
knows the answer just raise your hand.
Every correct answer will be given two chips
that will be added in your recitation.
Are you ready? Yes, Maam!
 a. The number being divided is called the? Dividend.
b. The number that you are dividing is
called the? Divisor.
c. The answer to a division problem is
called the? Quotient.
d. If the divisor doesn’t go onto the
dividend evenly, the left-over piece is Remainder.
called the?

2. Presentation of the Lesson

Yesterday in class, we learned about
polynomials. Today, we will be using that
knowledge of polynomials in order how to
divide polynomials using long division.
3. Discussion
Polynomial long division is a method for
dividing a polynomial by another
polynomials of a lower degree. It is very
similar to dividing numbers.

Long division of polynomials is similar to

long division of whole numbers.

The result is written in the form:

remainder
dividend  divisor  quotient +
divisor

Example 1:
Divide using long Division.

2 3
(–y + 2y + 25) ÷ (y – 3)
We need to follow four steps. Will you please Step 1 Write the dividend in standard form, including
read the first one? terms with a coefficient of 0.

When can you say that the polynomial The exponent of the dividend is written in descending
expression is written in the standard form? order.

Great!

So, will you please write the given in standard 2y3 – y2 + 0y + 25

form.

Thank you. How about the next step? Step 2 Write division in the same way you would when
dividing numbers.
3 2
y – 3 2y – y + 0y + 25
 For the third step, We need to divide as if we are
dividing a whole number.

Step 4 Write the final answer.

Anyone, will you please write the final answer
on the board.

Good Job!
Let us try another example.
Example 2: (15x2 + 8x – 12) ÷ (3x + 1)

Excellent!

Example 3: (x2 + 5x – 28) ÷ (x – 3)

Very good!

C. Generalization
What are the steps in dividing polynomials using Step 1 Write the dividend in standard form, including
long division? terms with a coefficient of 0.
Step 2 Write division in the same way you would when
dividing numbers
Step 3 Divide.
Step 4 Write the final answer.
A polynomial isn’t as complicated as its sounds,
because it’s just an algebfaic expression with
several terms. You have probably used a
polynomial in your head more than once when
shopping. What else can we use the polynomial? (Answer may vary)
A taxi driver can benefit from the use of polynomial.
Suppose a driver wants to know how many miles he
has to drive to earn 100 pesos.

Excellent!

And even in the field of science, especially the

medical researchers use them to describe the
behavior of bacterial colonies.
 D. Application
Work in Pair!
Divide by using long division.
1. (8x3 + 6x2 + 7) ÷ (x + 2)
2. (4x + 2x3 – 1) ÷ (2x – 2)
3. (x2 – 5x + 6) ÷ x – 2

V. Evaluation
Divide each of the polynomials using long division.

1. (11x + 20x2 + 12x3 + 2) ÷ (3x + 2) 2. (12x3 + 2 + 11x + 20x2) ÷ (2x + 1)

VI. Assignment

A. Divide by using long division.

a. (20 x2  13x  2)  (4 x  1) b. ( x 2  2 x  3)  ( x  5)

c. ( x3  2 x 2  x  2)  ( x  2) d. (6 x 2  7 x  5)  (3x  5)

B. Study dividing polynomials using synthetic division.
