 Classroom Rules:
L – listen very carefully and attentively when
the discussion is going on.

S – stand if you are called or raise your right

hand if you want to answer.

P – participate in every class

activity/discussion.
 •Father of “ ALGEBRA “
•Mathematician, Astronomer and Geographer.
•He lived in Baghdad, around 780 to 850 CE
(or AD). He was one of the first to write
about algebra (using words, not letters).
•His surname gives us the term “algorithm”.
•The word “algebra” was derived from his
book Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah. (The
Restoration or reunion of broken parts)
•His book became the first text book on the
Abu Abdullahsubject of Algebra in Europe.

Activity #1: THINK & SHARE
Instructions:
1. Observe what is/are the picture/s
all about?
2. After observing for 20 seconds,
teacher will call a student and
discuss with his/her classmates
about what he/she had observed.
Guide Questions:
1. What are the things common
to those pictures?
2. Are there things that make
them different?
3. Can you spot things that are
found on one picture but not
on the other two? If yes, what
is/are that/those thing/s?

 What is
Factoring?
Factoring?
 Factoring is a method to find the
basic numbers and variables that
made up a product.
 (Factor) x (Factor) = Product
 Some numbers are Prime,
meaning they are only divisible by
themselves and 1.
 Method 1
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
numbers or variables or a
combination of the two that is
common to the expressions
given.
 the greatest factor shared by
two or more numbers,
monomials, or polynomials
STEPS in Finding GCF:
1. Determine the greatest common
factor of the given terms. The greatest
common factor or GCF is the largest
factor that all terms have in common.

2. Factor out (or divide out) the greatest

common factor from each term. You
could check your answer at the point
by distributing the GCF to see if you
get the original question.
Types of POLYNOMIAL

multinomial
 Example # 1:
Find the GCF for each set of following.
Hint: list the factors and find the greatest match.

a) x, x2 1*x
x*x x
b) xy, x2y x*y
x*x*y xy COMMON
FACTORS

c) 3x3, 6x2 3*x*x*x

3*2*x*x
3x2
 Example # 2:
Factor 4x3y+8x2y2
Solutions:

4 Find the greatest common factor of the

numerical coefficients.
x2y Find the variable with the least exponent
that appears in each term of the polynomial.
4x2y The product of the greatest common factor
in an expression is the GCF of the polynomial.
4x2y (1x+2y) To completely factor the given polynomial,
divide the polynomial by its GCF, the
resulting quotient is the other factor.
 Example # 3:
Factor 12x3y5 – 20x5y2z
Solutions:

4 Find the greatest common factor of the

numerical coefficients.
x3y2 Find the variable with the least exponent
that appears in each term of the polynomial.
4x3y2 The product of the greatest common factor
in an expression is the GCF of the polynomial.
4x3y2 (3y3-5x2z) To completely factor the given
polynomial, divide the polynomial by its
GCF, the resulting quotient is the other
factor.

Activity #2: Video Analysis
Guide Questions:

1. How does greatest

common factor is applied
in feeding rabbits?
2. Is it possible to apply
this in real-life situation?
How?
Activity #3: Describe Your Family

Instructions:
1. In this activity, you have to find an
object that will describe you and your
family (things that make you and your
family have in common) and explain.
2. You only have 60 seconds to find an
object.
To generalize:

What are the steps

in solving expressions
using common
monomial factor?
