Subject : Mathematics 9
Topic : THE NATURE OF THE ROOTS OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION
Reference : Mathematics 9 – Learners Material, pages 66 – 75, Internet
Materials : Chalk and board

III. LESSON PROCEDURE:

A. Pre-activities
1. Daily Activities
a. Prayer
b. Checking of Attendance
c. Collecting of Assignments

2. Motivation
Start the lesson by asking the students to add and multiply rational numbers. These
are the basic skills that students need to learn about the relationships among the
values of a, b, and c in a quadratic equation ax 2 +bx +c=0 and its roots. This activity
will help them to apply mathematical concepts or principles in performing each
operation.

Activity 1: LET’S DO ADDITION AND MULTIPLICATION!

1. 7+15=¿ ¿ 4. (−3 /8)+ ½=¿ ¿ 7. (−4)(7)=¿ ¿
2. −9+14 =¿ ¿ 5. (−5 /6)+(−2/3)=¿ ¿ 8. (−6)(−12)=¿ ¿
3. −6+(−17)=¿ ¿ 6. (8)(15)=¿ ¿ 9. (−3 /7)(2 /5)=¿ ¿

B. Presentation:
 Present the lesson that in finding the solutions of quadratic equation facilities in
determining the relationship among its roots and its terms. Once the roots are
known, the students can then relate these to the terms of quadratic equation.

C. Discussion:
