These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities appropriately so that students will learn well. Always be guided by
demonstration of learning by the students which you can infer from formative assessment activities. Sustain learning systema tically by
IV. PROCEDURES providing students with multiple ways to learn new things, practice their learning, question their learning processes, and draw conclusions
about what they learned in relation to their life experiences and previous knowledge. Indicate the time allotment for each step.
A. Reviewing previous Review the rules in adding integers -
lesson or presenting the Rules:
new lesson 1. The sum of two positive integers is a positive integer.
2. The sum of two negative integers is a negative integer.
3. If the signs are different, subtract the numbers and use the sign of the larger number.
B. Establishing a purpose Usually, two functions being added are represented using the notations f(x) and g(x) – but can
for the lesson still use other letters to represent it.
The teacher will present a set of functions to add and let them find out how to get the sum of the
functions.
Add the two functions:
D. Activity 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 + 2
𝑔(𝑥 ) = 4 − 5𝑥
The teacher will present two ways of adding the functions: Horizontal Addition and Vertical
Addition
F. Abstraction The students will be able to sum up the lesson with these concepts:
1. The sum of the functions can be written as "𝑓(𝑥 ) + 𝑔(𝑥 )" or "(𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥)".
2. You can add functions horizontally or vertically by arranging the terms according to their
degrees.
3. The steps in adding functions are:
3.1 Write the functions into (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓 (𝑥 ) + 𝑔(𝑥 ),
3.2 Reorder the functions by degree of terms, and
3.3. Add functions horizontally or vertically.
G. Application The teacher will present two sets of functions for students to answer. They will apply the skills
they acquired in the lesson.
1. Find (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥):
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 4𝑥 + 2𝑥 2 − 2
𝑔(𝑥 ) = 4 − 3𝑥
Answer:
(𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 + 𝑥 + 2
2. Find (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥):
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 + 3
𝑔(𝑥 ) = −4𝑥 + 1
1. Answer: (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥 ) = −𝑥 + 4
H. Evaluating learning The teacher will give a 4-item test. It composes of a set of 4 functions to add.
1. (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥):
f(x) = 2x+3
g(x) = 4x+7
2. (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥):
f(x) = 6x-5
g(x) = 3x+9
3. (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥):
f(x) = 4𝑥 2+3x+8
g(x) = 9𝑥 2-5x+12
4. (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥):
f(x) = 2𝑥 3-3x-8
g(x) = 6x+11
