presenting the new

lesson
Group Activity

Mechanics:

1. Each group shall form a circle.

2. There are 5 problems for this activity where they
have to simplify the following given into single
fractions. Each problem is to be answered in 1
minutes.
3. After the time allotment, the participants shall
pass the questionnaire to their right and so on
until they answer the 5th question.
4. Exchange papers for checking.

B. Establishing a
purpose for the lesson Motive Questions:
1. How did you solve the activity? (expected answer: by
applying the rule in subtraction of fraction with the same
denominator and with different denominator)
2. How to subtract fractions with the same denominator?
(expected answer: Direct subtract the numerator and
copy the denominator)
3. How about if the denominator is different?(expected
answer: finding its LCD
Note: Lead the students to the concept of “subtracting a
rational algebraic expression”
Like fractions, rational algebraic expression can also be
subtracted. The rule in subtracting a rational algebraic
expression is the same as in subtracting fraction.

 How did you subtract the item 1 & 2? (expected

answer: direct subtract the numerator and copy
the denominator )
 How about item 3-5?(expected answer: by finding
its LCD)
 How did you obtain its LCD?(answer may vary)
D. Discussing new To subtract rational algebraic expressions follow the rule
concepts and in adding of fraction. That is;
practicing new skills  To subtract with the same denominator, direct
#1 subtract the new numerator and copy the
denominator.
 Simplify the result.
Example:

1. − =
3x 3 x 3 x
−13 x x−1 −13 x−( x−1)
2. − = =
x +5 x+ 5 x +5
−13 x −x+1 −14 x +1
=
x +5 x+ 5
Note: Teachers may give more examples for further
elaboration.
E. Discussing new To subtract with different denominator, find the LCD and
concepts and simplify the result.

SUPPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
Session: 1 (1 day)

Content: Subtraction of Rational Algebraic Expression

DISCUSSIONS:
To subtract rational algebraic expressions follow the rule in adding of
fraction. That is;

 To subtract with the same denominator,

subtract the new numerator and copy the denominator.

 Simplify the result.

Example:

9 7 2
1. − =
3x 3 x 3 x

−13 x x−1 −13 x−( x−1) −13 x −x+1 = −14 x +1

2. − = =
x +5 x+ 5 x +5 x +5 x+ 5

Note: The activities included here will be used only when needed.
