a. What are non-polynomials?
2. Motivation

b. IDENTIFY ME

3. Statement of the Aim The teacher lets the student to answer the activity
individually.
ACTIVITY 3: PAIR APPEAR
Below are the list of expressions grouped into columns.
 Pair expressions in column A and column B to illustrate
a ratio of two expressions. The answer of the first item is
provided.

B. Presentation A rational algebraic expression is a ratio of two

polynomials provided that the denominator is not equal
to zero. In symbols: P/ Q, where P and Q are
polynomials and Q ≠ 0.
Here’s a useful checklist in identifying whether the
expression is a rational algebraic expression:
 The expression must be in fraction form.
 The expression must have in its numerator and
denominator a constant, a variable, or a
combination of both, that are polynomial
expressions.
 The expression must not have a negative
exponent, a radical sign or a fraction exponent in
the variable/s in both numerator and
denominator.
 The denominator should not be equal to zero.
C. Comparison and How will you know if the expression is a rational
Abstraction algebraic expression?

For you to recognize rational algebraic expressions,

examine the following examples.
Presentation 1:

Check the following expressions.

 All of the expressions here are rational algebraic
expressions since these contain polynomial expressions
in both numerator and denominator, respectively.

Presentation 2:
Check the following expressions:

All of the expressions here are not rational algebraic

expressions since the expressions contain irrational
numbers (√𝑥 and √𝑦) and variables having negative
exponents (x-2 and 𝑧-3), which are not polynomials.
Presentation 3:

2 X +3
where x =1
2 X−2
What do you observe in the denominator? What is
its equivalent. If x = 1, 2x - 2 is equal to zero, that is
why it not a RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION.

D. Generalization Spin the wheel activity

E. Application The teacher assess the students by answering the

formative assessment individually.
ASSESSMENT: YOU BELONG WITH ME!
A. Classify the different expressions below as to
which set of expressions they belong. Write the
expression in the appropriate column.

Rational Algebraic Expressions Not Rational Algebraic Expressions

B. The Pandemic Problem

Read the problem below and answer the
questions that follow.
In the year 2020, a disease named Corona
Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) put the world in
 fear, declaring it into a pandemic. Enhanced
Community Quarantine (ECQ) was set to contain
persons through staying at home and banning
mass gatherings to avoid transmission of the
disease. As such, “barter system” came to exist in
the marketing system. Cona prepared for this
crisis through planting succulents for bartering it
with her needs. She noticed that her rate of
planting is that each 2𝑏+4 number of succulent is
to be planted in 𝑏−1 hours, where 𝑏 is the
number of persons who wanted to barter.
Question:
1. What rational algebraic expression will best
represent the situation?
