Objectives must be met over the week and connected to the curriculum standards. To meet the
objectives, necessary procedures must be followed and if needed, additional lessons, exercises and
remedial activities may be done for developing content knowledge and competencies. These are
assessed using Formative Assessment Strategies. Valuing objectives support the learning of content
and competencies and enable children to find significance and joy in learning the lessons. Weekly
objectives shall be derived from the curriculum guides.
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of factors of
polynomials.
The learner is able to formulate real-life problems involving factors of
polynomials.
Learning Competency: Solve problems involving factors of polynomials.
(M8AL-Ib-2)
Learning Objectives:
1. Enumerate the steps to solve problems involving factors of polynomials ;
2. Solve problems involving factors of polynomials; and
3. Demonstrate learning through organized solution and correct answers to the
given problems involving factors of polynomials

These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities appropriately so that
pupils/students will learn well. Always be guided by demonstration of learning by the pupils/ students
which you can infer from formative assessment activities. Sustain learning systematically by providing
pupils/students with multiple ways to learn new things, practice the learning, question their learning
processes, and draw conclusions about what they learned in relation to their life experiences and
previous knowledge. Indicate the time allotment for each step.
Review previous lesson by letting the students answer the exercise.
Read, analyze and solve the problem below.
Arly asserted that x2 – 2x – 15 and 15 – 2x - x2 has the same factors. Is Arly
correct? Prove by showing your solution.
Answer Key:
No, the factors of x2 – 2x – 15 are (x – 5)(x + 3), while 15 – 2x – x2 has (3 – x)(5 + x)
as its factors.
The teacher lets the students realize that solving problems involving factors of
polynomial is an important skills needed to formulate real-life problems involving
factors of polynomial.
The teacher lets the students, in groups of four do the Activity below.
Activity:
Read, analyze and solve the problem below. Show your solution.
The volume of a rectangular box is (w3 + 125) cubic inches. (V = lwh)
1. What is the area of the base of the box in terms of w?
2. What is the height of the box in terms of w?

G. Finding practical
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living
H. Making generalizations
and abstractions about
the lesson
I. Evaluating Learning
Answer Key:
1.
a) Understanding the problem
b) Devise a plan
Volume = Area of the base x height
c) Carry out a plan
Factor w3 + 125 = (w2 – 5w + 25) (w + 5)
Area of the box = (w2 – 5w + 25) square inches
2. Height of the box = (w + 5) inches
The teacher discusses with the students the process of arriving at the answer of
each exercise in Activity given. Furthermore, he/she asks the students about the
mathematical skills or principles that they used to solve the problem. He/She tells
them the steps to solve the problems involving factors of polynomials using
Polya’s Method.
The teacher discusses and illustrates thoroughly the steps to solve problems
involving factors of polynomials.
Working in pairs, the teacher lets the students answer the following exercise.
Read, analyze and solve the problem. Show your solution.
A classroom contains 54 chairs. The number of rows is 3 less than the number of chairs per
row. Find the number of rows.
Answer Key:
a) Understanding the problem
n=number of chairs per row
n-3=number of rows
b) Devise a plan
n(n-3) = 54
c) Carry out a plan
n2 – 3n =54
n2 – 3n -54 = 0
(n - 9)(n + 6) = 0
n-9=0 n+6=0
n=9 n = -6
The number of chairs cannot be negative, hence we discard n = -6.
Since there are 9 chairs in each row then 6 rows of chairs.
The teacher provides real-life situations where the concept learned can be
applied. Here the teacher enumerates the real-life situations.
The teacher summarizes the mathematical skills or principles used to solve
problems involving factors of polynomials.
1. What did you do to arrive at the answer?
2. Where there mathematical skills or principles used to solve the
problem?
3. What are the steps to solve problems involving factors of polynomials?
Answers shall be drawn from the students.
The teacher lets the students answer individually the formative assessment.
Read, analyze and solve the problem below. Show your solution.
1. The volume of a rectangular box is (w3 + 216) cubic inches. (V = lwh)
a. What is the area of the base of the box in terms of w?
b. What is the height of the box in terms of w?
c. If w=10 in, find the dimensions and volume of the box.
Answer Key:
 1. a. (w2 – 6w + 36) square inches
b. (w + 6) inches
c. 1, 216 cubic inches
