Question 1: Expand 3(2x + 5)
Q1. 6x + 15
Question 2: 24a - 16a2 Q2. 8a(3 − 2a)
Q3. Expand and collect like terms to simplify
3x ( 2x + 7) + 6x( 8 − 5x) Q3. 69x − 24x 2

Q4. Factorize x2 + 7x + 6 Q4. (x + 1)(x + 6)

Q5. Expand (3b − 5)2
Q5. 9b2 − 30b + 25
Answers:

Q1. 6x + 15
Q2. 8a(3 − 2a)
Q3. 69x − 24x 2

Q4. (x + 1)(x + 6)
Q5. 9b − 30b + 25

Q1. Solution:
3. 2x + 3 . 5
= 6x + 15

Answers:

Q2. Solution:
24a - 16a 2

= 8a(3 − 2a)

Q3. Solution:
=3x(2x + 7) + 6x (8-5x)
=6x + 21x + 48x – 30x
2 2

= -24x + 69x
2

= 69x - 24x 2

Q4. Solution:
x + 7x + 6 The factors of 6 that have the
2

sum of 7 are 6 and 1

Therefore, x 2
+ 7x + 6 = (x + 1)(x + 6)

Objective:
To solve problems involving factors
of polynomials. (M8AL-IA-b-2)
Polynomials are often called the language of
Lesson Purpose/Intention
mathematics and algebra. They are used in nearly every
type of mathematics to show numbers and expressions
as a result of different mathematical operations. The
manipulation of polynomials allows us to simplify
mathematical expressions to make them more useable
to solve problems.

EXPRESSION
 Lesson Language
An expression is in simplest form
when it cannot be simplified further.

SIMPLEST FORM
Lesson Language
To show or stand in place of.

REPRESENT
Lesson Language
The total length of a boundary of a
place figure.

PERIMETER
Lesson Language
The space enclosed by the boundary of
a plane figure.

 Activity: Snake and Ladder Game
Mechanics:
Set-up: The class will be divided into 4 groups. The group who got the
correct answer will have the chance to throw the die/dice.
Gameplay: The players will move their pieces from left to right, starting at
1, following the numbers on the board, then the next row from right to left
and repeat. If a player rolls a 4, then the player would move their piece four
places.
Snakes: When a player lands on a top of a snake, their playing piece will
slide down the bottom of the snake. Whereas landing on the bottom of a
snake, the player will remain in the same spot until their next turn.

(5 mins)
Mechanics:
Ladders: When a player lands at the base of a ladder, it
immediately climbs to the top of the ladder. Whereas
landing at the top of a ladder, the player will stay there until
the next turn. The player does not move to the bottom of the
ladder.
Winning the game: Every question has a corresponding
points (5 points) . After answering the questions given by
the teacher, the highest space(Score) on the board, wins the
game.

Joe is planting a garden full of flowers for the summer. He
wants to plant carnations, roses, lilies and violets. He must
have a field that is broken up into different sections for
each type of flower to be planted as each flower has its
own growing needs. He is unsure how big a plot of land he
will be able to use. The plan of the field is shown below.
N x+3

x+1
x+2
2x - 4
W E Carnations Roses

2x + 5
2x + 4
Violets Lilies
 Questions:
Q1. Write an expression to represent the south side
of the garden in its simplest form.
Q2. Write an expression to represent the perimeter
of the garden in its simplest form.
Q3. Why would this expression be useful for Joe?
Q4. Write a polynomial expression for the area of the
carnations plot?
 Questions:
Q1. Write an expression to represent the south side
of the garden in its simplest form.
Answer: Students have to first recognize which
section of the garden is south and that it equal to the
north or top side of the garden.
Adding the length together x + 3 + 2x – 4 which is
simplified to 3x - 1
 Questions:
Q2. Write an expression to represent the
perimeter of the garden in its simplest form.
=2x + 4 + x + 2 + x + 3 + 2x - 4 + x
+ 1 + 2x + 5 + x + 3 + 2x – 4
= 12x + 10
 Questions:
Q3. Why would this expression be useful for
Joe?
If he wanted to enlarge the size of
the garden, he could still determine
the measurements by changing the
value of x.
 Questions:
Q4. Write a polynomial expression for the area of the
carnations plot?

(x+2)(x+3) = x + 5x + 62
 Questions:

Q4. Write a polynomial expression for the area

of the carnations plot?
(x+2)(x+3) = x + 5x + 6

worksheet by group.
Q1. Write an expression to show the perimeter of the violets
in its simplest form.

Q2. Write an expression for the area of the whole garden in

its simplest form.

Q3. Write a different expression for the area of the whole

garden.

=6x + 14
Q2. Write an expression for the area of the
whole garden in its simplest form.
=(2x+4+x+2)(x+3+2x -4)
=9x +3x-6
