III. Procedure
A. Preliminary Activities
a. Greetings
b. Opening Prayer
c. Checking of attendance
d. Class/module Guidelines
e. Moral Assessments (from home to classroom)
B. Review/Recapitulation
Recall and ask about the previous lesson.
C. Motivation
Give a story that relates to the topic and provide questions to be answered by the students.
Guide question: If Ana has 4 apples and 3 oranges while Jake have 4 Oranges and 5 apples with 1
bad. How will you put all this in a mathematical equation using algebraic equation?

Follow-up Questions:

1. What is the activity all about?

2. How many numbers of terms are there?

D. Interactive learning process

Activity
The discussion will start by providing a number problem related to the topic, and the
students will answer about the following questions..

Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions regarding to the activity:

Guide questions:
1. What have you observe in the activity?
2. Can you identify what are the operations being used in the activity?
3. In your own understanding what would be our topic for today’s discussion?

Abstraction
The teacher will provide the concept of the topic by providing the definitions of polynomials,
definitions of additions and subtractions of polynomials, differentiating the two operations,
providing the laws and properties of the two operations, and providing examples.

Application
The teacher will let the students to answer questions through interactions. The teacher will
accept if there is volunteering and call one by one if there is no one volunteering and provide
the answer after the try.

Guide questions:
1. ( 2 x 2+3 x +2 ) + ( 3 x 2−5 x−1 )
2
2 x +3 x +2
 3 x ²−5 x−1
( 2+ 3 ) x + ( 3+ (−5 ) ) x + ( 2+ (−1 ) )

2. ( 3 x 2−5 x−1 ) +(3 x ²−5 y+3)
3 x ²−5 x−1
3 x ²−5 y +3

( 3+3 ) x + (−5 x ) + (−5 y )+ (−1+ 3 )
6 x ²−5 x−5 y +2
3. ( x +3 x−5 )−( 2 x +3 x−4 )
2 2

¿( x ¿¿ 2+3 x−5)+(−2 x 2−3 x+ 4) ¿

x 2+ 3 x −5
+(−2 x ²−3 x−5)
−x ²−10
Group activity
After the class interaction, the teacher will ask the students one by one and ask them to
provide an example in real-life situation applying the addition and subtraction of
polynomials.

IV. Evaluation:

A. Do the following exercises. Write your answers on the clean shit of paper.
1. ( 4 x 2+3 x−5 ) + ( 3 x2 −2 x +3 )
2. ( x 2−3 x +6 ) −( 5 x +10 )
3. (9 x ²−7 x−10)+(7 x2 −10 x−9)
4. ( 10 x 2+ x +3 )−( 3 x+ 3 )
B. word problem
1. Since 2010, the number (in hundreds) of males M and females F attending seminar in food
handler can be modeled by
3 2 3 2
M =4 x −6 x + 15 x +100∧F=5 x −7 x +10 x+335
Where x is the number of years since1970. Write a model for the total number of people
attending the seminar of food handling relative to the number of years since 2010.

V. Assignment:
Read in advance about the deriving of the laws of exponent.
