III. – PROCEDURE
A. Preliminaries

Have you been to a leisure park? The following attractions are from a leisure
park in Tagaytay. Sort them into two groups, then explain how you arrived at the groupings.
B. Lesson Proper
1. Teaching/Modelling
Consider the set of algebraic expressions below.
Did you see the relationship between the
algebraic expressions and polynomials?
The set of polynomials is a subset of the set
of algebraic expressions.
When is an algebraic expression a
polynomial?
- Exponents are whole numbers.
- There are no negative exponents, and so,
no variables in the denominator; and no
fractional exponents, and so, no variables
inside radical symbols.

A polynomial can be classified according to its degree as well as its number of terms.
The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree of the term with the highest
degree.

If the polynomial has four or more terms, it is called a multinomial but more often
called a polynomial.

2. Analysis
a. What does the set of polynomials consist of? algebraic expressions?
b. When is a polynomial an algebraic expression?
c. Are all polynomials algebraic expressions? Why or why not?
d. Are all algebraic expressions polynomials? Why or why not?
e. How are polynomials classified according to the degree? number of terms?

number of terms.

4. Independent Practice

a. 5𝑥 2 - 6x - 7
b. 24
c. (a – b)/3
d. x3 - 9
e. x + √2
B. Classify the following polynomials as monomial, binomial, trinomial, or multinomial.
a. 4x4 – 7𝑥 2 + 5
b. – 7𝑥 2
c. – 7𝑥 2 + 5
d. 4x4 – 7𝑥 3 – 7𝑥 2 + 5
e. 5

5. Generalization
A polynomial can be classified according to its degree as well as its number of terms.
The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree of the term with the highest
degree. A polynomial with 0 degree is a constant; a first degree polynomial is linear; a
second degree polynomial is quadratic; and a third degree polynomial is cubic.
A polynomial with one term is a monomial; with two terms, a binomial; with three
terms, a trinomial; and, with four or more terms, a multinomial or a polynomial.

number of terms. If the classification is given, make your own example.

III. – PROCEDURE
A. Preliminaries

Draw a if the statement is correct. If not, draw a on the line.

1. 9 + (-8) = 1 _________ 2. 9 – (- 8) = -17 _________
2. ( – 9) + 8 = - 1 _________ 4. (- 9) – (- 8) = - 1 _________
5. ( - 9) – 8 = 17 _________

B. Lesson Proper
1. Teaching/Modelling
Developmental Activity

Look inside your bags and bring out the following items: black pens, pencils, pieces
of pad paper, notebooks, and baby powder. You may form groups to complete the materials
needed Use these materials in completing the following statements.
2 pencils + 4 pencils = ____ pencils
5 pieces of pad papers + 8 pieces of pad paper = ____ pieces of pad paper
8 notebooks + 2 baby powder = ___ notebooks + ___ baby powder
10 containers of baby powder – 7 containers of baby powder =
____ containers of baby powder
8 black pens – 5 pencils = ____ black pens - ____ pencils
Now replace black pens with the variable a, pencils with b, pieces of pad paper with
c, notebooks with x, and baby powder with y.
2 pencils + 4 pencils = ____ pencils 2b + 4b = ___b
5 pieces of pad papers + 8 pieces of pad paper = ____ pieces of pad paper
5c + 8c = ___c
8 notebooks + 2 baby powder = ___ notebooks + ___ baby powder
8x + 2y = ___x + ___y
10 containers of baby powder – 7 containers of baby powder =
____ containers of baby powder 10y – 7y = ___y
8 black pens – 5 pencils = ____ black pens - ____ pencils
8a – 5b = ___a - ___b
 Now, study these examples.
1. (2b + 5c) + (4b + 8c) = (2b + 4b) + (5c + 8c) = 6b + 13c
or 2b + 5c
+ 4b + 8c
6b + 13c

2. (2b2 + 5b - 4) + (4b2 - 8b - 2) = (2b2 + 4b2) + (5b – 8b) + [(-4) + (-2)] = 6b2 – 3b - 6

or 2b2 + 5b - 4
+ 4b2 - 8b - 2
6b2 – 3b - 6

3. (8x + 8a) – (2y – 3a) = 8x +[8a – ( -3a)] – 2y = 8x + 11a – 2y

or 8x + 8a
- - 3a + 2y
8x + 11a – 2y

4. (-3x2 + 4x + 1) – ( 5x2 + 2x – 3) = [(-3x2) - 5x2] + (4x – 2x) + [1 – (-3)]

= - 8x2 + 2x + 4

a. 4a – 3b, 6a + 4b
b. -2x + 2y - z, 5x + 3y + z
c. x2 + x + 2, - 2x2 +3x – 4

5. Generalization
Rules for Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
To add polynomials, simply combine similar terms. To combine similar
terms, get the sum of the numerical coefficients and annex the same literal coefficients. If
there is more than one term, for convenience, write similar terms in the same column.
To subtract polynomials, change the sign of each term in the
subtrahend and then add it to the minuend.
 6. Application

a. Find the sum of 3x – 8y + 3z -1 and 2x + 7z + 8.
