IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing or presenting ACTIVITY: PICTURE ANALYSIS
the new lesson
Note to the Teacher: 
 The teacher will provide at least three pictures.
  Divide the class into five groups (each group will
use THINK, PAIR and SHARE strategy).
 Provide each group with pictures.
 Let the learners identify the difference of the
pictures
 Guide the students to answer the following:
 What is/are the picture?
 What have you observed on the picture?
 Did you find any common?
Process all groups’ answers.
B. Establishing a purpose
for the lesson Motive Questions:
1. What are the things common to these pictures? (answers
may vary) 
2. Are there things that make them different?
3. What is/are the thing/s common to two pictures but not
found on the other? (answers may vary)

Note: The teacher must lead the students to the concept of

“Factoring with the common monomial factor” 
 (answers may vary)
C. Presenting examples of ACTIVITY: Do we have a common?
the new lesson
Identify the common term of each polynomial through
prime factorization.
1. 2ab + 2ac – 2a
Ans. 2a
2. 20x – 12
2

Ans. 4
3. x(a-b) + y(a-b)
Ans. (a-b)
Ask the following:
 What are the prime factors of each term?
 What is the common factor?
 How did you identify the common factor?
D. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills BIG IDEA! 
#1
The teacher will discuss this statement.

Common monomial factoring is the process of writing a

polynomial as a product of two polynomials, one of which
is a monomial that factors each term of the polynomial.

Every expression has itself and the number 1 as a factor.

These are called the trivial factors. If a monomial is the
 product of two or more variables or numbers, then it will
have factors other than itself and 1.

Note: teacher will provide at least three examples. 

E. Discussing new concepts ACTIVITY: Match it to me!
and practicing new skills
#2 Instructions: Match the polynomial in column A to its
factors in column B.
    
A.                                                      B. 

1. x y +xy + 2x y
3 2 3 2 3              
a. xy (x + y + 2xy)
  2 2

Ans. a
2. x + x y + xy                          b.  3(y – 5y – 4) 
3 2 2 2

Ans.   c              

3. 3y – 15y – 12                         c.  xy(x + x + y)
2 2

Ans. b

Teacher will discuss how the factors of the polynomials

obtain.
F. Developing Mastery ACTIVITY: Group Activity

Cite one real-life situation that demonstrates polynomial

with common monomial factor.

Note: The teacher may elaborate responses of the learners.

G. Finding practical Teacher will discuss how factoring applied in real-life
applications of concepts situation.
and skills in daily living Example: Find the area of a rectangle whose width is 2x –
3 and the length is 5 more than the width.

Ans. 20x – 60x + 45

2

Let the learners answer. 

H. Making Generalizations Guide Questions for Generalization:
and abstractions about
the lesson  What is a polynomial? 
(Expected answer: Polynomial is an expression of one or more
algebraic terms.)
 How can we obtain the factors of polynomials using
common monomial factor?
(Expected answer: through the GCF.)
 What concepts have you learned from factoring that
can be applied in your daily living? (answer may vary)

Note: Teacher must correct immediately the wrong

 response of the learner.
I. Evaluating learning Individual Work

J. Additional Activities for Teacher will ask the students:

application or
remediation What do you think is the amount of courage needed to
make up for a shortcoming?   (Answer may vary).

Note: Process all responses.

ACTIVITY:  MESSAGE FROM THE KING
                      (Product – Factor Association)

Directions:
This activity will give you an idea on how factors                   
associated with products. You will match the factors in column A with
the products in column B to decode the secret message.
