TEACHERS’ ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY

A. Daily routine
a. Prayer
b. Greetings
Good morning class Good morning sir.
It’s a good day to see you too class,
how was your weekend? Were good sir

Okay. It seems that you’ve really

enjoy your weekend.
c. Checking of attendance
Secretary may I know who were the
absent today? Kindly give us the
report. I’m glad to tell you sir that no one is absent
today.
B. Review
Today we will be having our new lesson
but before that. Let’s have a recap on the
topic we’ve discussed last meeting.

Who among you remembered the topic

that we have tackled last time?

Anyone from the class who would like to

share what he/she had learned about
the topic last meeting?
 Yes? Our last is all about laws of radicals

What are the parts of a radical? Index

Radical sign/symbol
radicand
I have here an example of a radical, can
you locate where those parts are? (locating)

Ok very good, another topic that we

tackle yesterday? About the laws of radicals.

Very good! How many laws do we have We have 4 laws in radicals

in radicals?

What are those laws of radicals?

√n an =a
√n a •√n b =√n ab

√
√n a = n a
√n b b
√ √ a= √ a
m n mn

Very good class. It seems that you really

understand our topic last meeting.

C. Motivation
Before we start our lesson for today. We
will be having a short activity. I will
divide the class into 2 groups. You only
have 3 minutes to finish the activities, as
many words as you see once your done
looking and writing we will compare it
to the other group.
Let.s count 1 and 2, those who are
number 1 you are the group 1 and those
who are number 2, you are the group 2.

Am I clear class?
Instructions: Inside the crossword
puzzle find words which you think
related to our new topic.
R A D I C A L E X M
A N Y N A Y O X P A
R D S V L B V P R T
E A O O L E E R T H
A M T L T G Y E O I
E Y I V E D M S K S
T G N I V L O S J F
I I P N P F L I G U
O N U G Q R U O H N
E Q U A T I O N A T
Sir, the words are math is fun, radicals,
(after 3 minutes) what words did you
equation, and involving
found inside the crossword puzzle group
1?
The words we found are solving. Radicals, and
 expression.
Let’s check the answers of group 1. Okay
very good. What about the group 2?

Let’s check.
Okay. Very good. Let’s give yourselves a
round of applause.

D. Lesson proper
From our activity, what do you think is I think our lesson for today is about radical
our lesson for today? Anyone? equation?

That’s right. Very good. Today. You will

learn about solving equation involving
radical expressions.
Yes. Sir.
Are you ready to listen and learn?

Very good!
I have here an example of a radical.

√3 27

What are the parts of radical?

I have here names, you need to put it in

exact location as part of a radical.
1. Radical symbol
2. Index
3. radicand

Now, lets deffirenciate what is radical

expression to radical equation.

Expression Equation
√ 5 n−4 √ 5 n−4−9=0
√ 5 x+1+¿ 8 √ 5 x+1+8=4

√6 3 x +2
5 x +1
√3 3 b=3
Are equations in which the unknown value
appears under a radical sign.
Who can tell me what is the difference
between radical equation and radical
expression? Yes sir.

Based on the examples given, did you

understand the difference of the two?
So now, we’re going to the steps in
solving radical equation.

1. Isolate the radical on the left side by

applying the appropriate properties
of equality.
2. Remove the radical sign by raising
both sides of the equation to the
index of the radical.
3. Solve the resulting equation.
4. Check your solution.

Let’s have an example

Example 1: solve the given radical
equation.
√ 5 n−4−9=0
Step 1: isolate the radical
√ 5 n−4=9
Step 2: remove the radical sign.
(√ 5 n−4 ¿ ¿2=92
2
5 n−4=9
Step 3: solve the equation
2
5 n−4=9
5 n−4=81
5 n=81+ 4
5 n=85
5 n 85
=
5 5
n=17
Step 4: check the answer
√ 5 n−4−9=0
√ 5(17)−4−9=0
√ 85−4−9=0
9−9=0
0=0
Therefore the solution of n which is
17 is correct
Yes sir
Did you understand class
Lets have another example.
Example 2: √
3
5 x+1+8=4

√3 5 x+1+8=4
√3 5 x+1=4−8
√3 5 x+1=−4
3
( √ 5 x+1) =−4
3 3

5 x+ 1=−64
5 x=−64−1
5 x=−65
5 x −65
=
5 5

x=−13

Check:
x=−13
√
3
5(−13)+1+8=4
 √3 −65+1+8=4
√3 −64+ 8=4
−4+8=4
4=4

Therefore the solution of x which is 4

is correct.

E. Activity
Now, you understand how to solve
radical equations using the steps given.
The steps are:
Before we proceed to our activity, what
1. Isolate the radical on the left side
are the steps in solving radical
by applying the appropriate
equations?
properties of equality.
2. Combine similar terms when
possible.
3. Remove the radical sign by raising
both sides of the equation to the
index of the radical.
4. Solve the resulting equation.
5. Check your solution.

Very good.
The teacher will group the students into 2
groups. Each group will be given a piece of
paper for them to write their answers.

Grouping….
Direction: I will give you 2 minutes in every item
to answer. After 2 minutes raise your answers
and we will check if correct.

solve the given radical equation.

1. √ 3 b=3
2. −6+ √ d−3=2
3. √ 4 k +6=√ 6 k−14

Students are finished answering the activity and

checking the answers if they are correct.
Very good all of you got the perfect score. Give
yourselves a round of applause.
To check if you really understand what’s our
lesson for today.
