Session Date : _______, 2016 ; 60 minutes

I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of one- hour session, the students should be able to:
Solve problems using binomial problem; and
Relate the lesson on real – life situation.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

A. Session Topic : Solve problems using binomial theorem

B. Materials Needed : LCD projector, netbook, manila paper, marker, masking tape,
sheets of paper, scissors
C. References : SHS Curriculum Guides
Algebra and Trigonometry / Eight Edition
Intermediate Algebra - Pearson

III. LEARNING PROCEDURE:

 Preliminaries:
 Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking of Attendance

 Motivation:
 This lesson will introduce students to the Binomial Theorem through
variety of activities .
 Teacher will hand out the box. “ Lets expand your own binomial
expression.”It shows all the expansions from n = 0 up to the power of
you have chosen.
 Instructions : In the first line of each expansion, you’ll see the
numbers from Pascal’s Triangle written within square brackets,[ ]
 The second line of each expansion is the result after tidying up,you
can use letters or numbers within the brackets. The maximum power
you can use is 6.

1. What insights have you gained from the activity?

2. Based on the box, can you guess our topic for today?
A. Activity
“Do You Feel Lucky?” (…refer to attached sheet…Activity 1)
 The teacher will group the students in 5 groups.
  The learning activity and instructions will be projected through LCD
projector.
 Each group will be given the following problem solving particularly in
finding patterns. They should be skilled at interpreting with formulas.
 Problem : 1. ( a + b )3
2. ( 2x + 3 )4
B. Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions:

1. How did you find the activity?

2. Did you enjoy your activity ?
3. How did you come up with your answers?
4. What have you observed in all the outputs of your classmates?

C. Abstraction
Based on the binomial properties, the binomial theorem states that the
following binomial formula is valid for all positive integer values of n:
n
n

k=0 k
()
( x +a ) =∑ n x k an −k

So let's try using it for n = 3 :

BUT ... it is usually much easier just to remember the patterns:

 The first term's exponents start at n and go down

 The second term's exponents start at 0 and go up
 Coefficients are from Pascal's Triangle, or by calculation using n!/(k!(n-k)!

D. Application
Complete Me ( ½ crosswise )

What is (x +5)4

Start with exponents 4

x 5
0

Include Coefficients 1x 5
4 0

3. Formulate an equation that describes the problem given.

V. ASSIGNMENT:
 1 short bond paper

Write a journal describing the ideas on how to solve problems on binomial theorem.
