A. Reviewing or ACTIVITY: Let’s Recall!
presenting the new
lesson The process of squaring a binomial.

Prepared by: NONEDE B. OBENITA

 MATHEMATICS RESOURCE PACKAGE

(x + 4)2

= x2 + 2(4)(x) + 42
= x2 + 8x + 16

1. How many resulting terms when we square

binomial? Ans. three terms
2. State the steps in squaring a binomial.
Ans.
1. Square the first term
2. Twice the product of the first and the second
term.
3. Square the last term.

B. Establishing a
purpose for the lesson Motive Questions:
1. What is the resulting product when we square a
binomial?
Possible answer: the result when we square a
binomial is always a trinomial.
2. Did you observe any pattern?
Possible answer: yes!
3. Is there a relation between squaring binomial and
factoring perfect square trinomial?
Ans. Yes
4. Does the pattern can be applied in real situations?
(Answers may vary)
C. Presenting examples ACTIVITY: Compare Us!
of the new lesson
(x + 4)2 x2 + 8x + 16

= x2 + 2(x)(4) + 42 = ( x + 4) (x + 4)

= x2 + 8x + 16 = (x + 4)2

Guide Questions:
1. How many terms are there in the product when we
square binomial? How about when we factor perfect
square trinomial?
2. What have you observe on the factor of a perfect
square trinomial?
(process all answers)
D. Discussing new ACTIVITY: GROUP ACTIVITY

concepts and
practicing new skills Group the students into five.
#1 1. Give a task card in every group containing a perfect
square trinomial and let them find the factor. (the
teacher can also use another technique/s)
2. Let the group perform the assigned task.
3. The group will present their output in a creative way.
(e.g. poem, hugot, acting, etc.)
Note: teacher will provide subtle coaching in every
group activity.
E. Discussing new
concepts and The teacher discusses the definition and other concepts
practicing new skills of factoring perfect square trinomial. (Refer to
#2 Worksheet –Discusssion)

F. Developing Mastery ACTIVITY: Am I perfect?

Instructions: Tell whether the given below represent a

perfect square trinomial.

The teacher can use LCD projector/placards to show the

trinomial and then the group will write their answer on a
cardboard. The group will raise their answer.

1. a2 + 4a + 4  Ans. Perfect

2. p  + 2p + 1
2
Ans. Perfect
3. y2 – 20y + 100 Ans. Perfect
4. x2 + 3x + 9 Ans. Perfect
5. 2x – 4x + 16          Ans. Not perfect
2

The teacher may elaborate responses of the learners.

G. Finding practical Teacher will discuss how factoring applied in real-life
applications of situation.
concepts and skills in
daily living Example: Your mother is planning to put-up fence in
front of your house. If the perimeter of the lot is x2 + 8x +
16. What is the measure of the front side?

Ans. (x + 4)
Let the students answer.
H. Making Guide Questions for Generalization:
Generalizations and
abstractions about 1. How will you describe perfect square trinomial?
the lesson Ans. The first and last terms are both perfect square.
2. What have you observe on the first term of the factor?
Ans. It is the square root of the first term in the given
trinomial.

DISCUSSION: PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL

Note: Teacher will discuss the figure below.

To sum it up:

A perfect square trinomial is the result of squaring a binomial. A perfect square

trinomial has first and last terms which are perfect squares and a middle term which is
twice the product of the square root of the first and the last term.
