A. Preliminary
Good morning, class! Good morning, ma’am.
Before we start, kindly check your internet and

audio to test whether we can hear and see one
another.
Now that everybody is settled, may I know who are

absent for today?
Very good! It is nice to know that you really love my

subject. Mathematics. So, let’s give everybody a
round of applause.
Let me remind you class that we have a Class rule.
A- Actively participate in class.
N- No noise, please turn off your mic to avoid

unnecessary noise from your background to give
respect to person talking and to be able to do that

find place that have a good signal but be sure that

you are safe and comfortable in learning.
N- Name before you recite. If you want to recite

and ask question please turn your on mic and say
your name.
Lastly, open you camera for me to monitor you if

you are really listening and learning.
Is it clear class?
B. Review
Now before we can understand our topic. Let’s

have first our review.
What is our topic last meeting class?

Our topic last meeting ma’am is all about
addition of polynomial ma’am.
Very good!
Therefore, I have prepare here an activity to test if

you really understand our topic last meeting.
1. ( x +4 y )+ ( 2 x +5 y )
2. 2 x+3 y + 4 x− y 1. 3 x+ 9 y

Very good, it seems like you really understood our
last topic.
Give yourself a clap!
B. LESSON PROPER
1. Motivation
Before we start our day, let us have first a math Yes ma’am.
trick. Do you want a math trick?
Are you ready? Yes ma’am.
So get any piece of paper and ball pen. Write your

month number from you birthday. For example, if
your birthday is June then your month number is 6.
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
Then, multiply by 5.
Next, add 6.
Multiply the total by 4.
Add 9.
Multiply by 5 once again.
Then, add your birth date. If you were born on the

14th, then add 14.
And last, subtract 165.
Are you done on computing? Yes ma’am.
What can you notice on the result? The result is the day and month we were born.
Very Good! Yes, it is a surprise cause you will have

the month and day you were born.
What have you notice in the trick? I have notice that in mathematics you just have
to follow the instruction for you to get the
correct answer.
Exactly. I hope it energized you all. Yes ma’am.
Now, I think we are now ready for our topic for

today. So, let us start.
2. Presentation
For today class, we are going to discuss all about
subtraction of polynomials.
3. Discussion
What are the terms that can be subtracted? Those terms that are like terms ma’am.
Very good!
So, can w subtract 2x-2x? Yes ma’am.
Why? Because they are like terms ma’am.
Very good!
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
Kindly give an example for those terms that can be

subtracted? 2x – 3x ma’am.
4a – 6a ma’am.
36xy – 100 xy ma’am.
Very good!
I have here list of terms that can be subtracted and

not.
Identify the following terms that can be subtracted.
7 b2 +3 b 2
2 2
7 b +3 xb
5e−(−3 e)
5 x−(−xy)
−xy−5 xy
What is your answer class?
2 2
7 b +3 b
Terms that can be subtracted ma’am.
Why?
Because they have like terms ma’am.
Very good!
How about this item 2 class?

2 2
7 b +3 xb Not ma’am.
Why? Because they don’t have like terms ma’am.
Very good!

5e−(−3 e) Terms that can be subtracted ma’am.
Why? Because they have like terms ma’am
Very good!

5 x−(−xy) Not ma’am.
Very good!

−xy−5 xy Not ma’am.
Very good!
Before we go to the subtraction of polynomial. Let

us be first familiarize ourselves on the signs.
In the integers, we have 2 signs and those are?
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
Very good.
The 2 signs of integers is positive and negative.
In connection to our topic for today that is the

subtraction of polynomial lets first visualized
subtraction of integers and its rules.
In subtracting of integers the rule for subtraction is:

Kindly read. Subtracting a number (n) from another number
is the same as adding the opposite of n to the
other number.
To make it simpler, changing the sign of the
subtrahend and proceed in addition rule.
+ - + = +
- - - = -
+ - - = The sign of the bigger
number will be the basis.
- - + = The sign of the bigger
+ - +(-) = +
- - -(+) = -
+ - -(+) = The sign of the bigger
- - +(-) = The sign of the bigger
+ + - = The sign of the bigger

number will be the basis
- + + = The sign of the bigger
number will be the basis
+ + + = +
- + - = -
This will help us later on. So note this one class.
For example class!

-7 - (-4) =?
-7 + 4 =?
=-3
Okay, did you get it class? Yes ma’am
Very good!
Now try this class.
-15 - 19 =?
-21 – (-14) =?
What is your answer for number 1? 4 ma’am.

-15 - 19 =? -15 - 19 =?
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
-15 – 19
|-15| - |19|
Very good! 15 – 19
=4
How about for item 2?
-21 – (-14) =?
-21 – (-14)
|21| - |14|
21 – 14
7
= -7
Very good you are correct! So therefore the answer ma’am is -7
Now, lets moved to the subtraction of polynomial.

I prepared here and an acronym for your guide in
subtracting polynomial.
L-
C-
C-
C-
A-
C-
Kindly read.
L- Look for the operation.
C- Copy the minuend.
C- Change the sign of the subtrahend.
C- Combine like terms.
A- Add the numerical coefficient.
C- Copy the literal coefficient.
Thank you.
To visualize this let’s have here an example.
5e−(−3 e)
L- Look for the operation.
What is the operation?
5e−(−3 e) Subtraction ma’am.

What is our minuend?
5e 5 e ma’am.

Kindly change it class?
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
+3 e +3 e ma’am.
Since we are already our values.

5e+3 e

5e+3 e 5e+3 e=8 e ma’am.

What is our final answer class? 8e ma’am
Did you get it class? Yes ma’am.
Very good!
Okay try this one class.

our minuend –x ma’am

−5 x

-x – 5x

-x – 5x = 6x

So our final answer ma’am is -6x

Very good!
Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
How about if we have like this class?
(2 x¿ ¿2−3 x+2)−(3 x2 +5 x +2)¿

What is our fifth and six step? A- Add the numerical coefficient.
2
2 x −3 x +2 C- Copy the literal coefficient.
2
+ −3 x 2−5 x−2 2 x −3 x +2
= −x 2−8 x + −3 x 2−5 x−2
= −x 2−8 x
What is our final answer class? So our final answer ma’am is −x 2−8 x .
Very good!
Now how about this one class.

(−3 x ¿¿ 2−10 x+ 6)−(9 x 2−12 x +3)¿

Tamag, Vigan City
2700 Ilocos Sur
Take note of the word from. It means that the

minuend will be4 x−2 y+3 z and the subtrahend
will be 3 x−7 y + z .
Now as we determine the minuend and subtrahend

lets proceed to the subtraction of polynomials.
Okay what is the first thing to do?

What is the operation?
