WHO IS THIS
FILIPINO INVENTOR?
He is the Filipino Mathematician who
developed a board game called
DAMATHS. The board game applies
the moves used in the Filipino board
game DAMA to solve problems on
the different concepts in
Mathematics. Who is he?

The Difference of two squares of two terms is the product of the

sum and difference of those terms.
Factoring the Difference of Two Squares
1. Get the square root of each of the two squares
2. Using these square roots, form two factors: a sum and a
difference
