III. Instructional Procedure

Teacher’s Hint Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preliminary
Activities Good morning class! How is your
Greetings day so far? Good morning ma’am. We
are fine.
That’s good to hear! So, can I expect
a full blast of energy and active
participation from you?
Yes ma’am!
May I request everyone to please all
rise and let us feel the presence of
 Prayer the Lord.
(Student will lead the
prayer)

Classroom Before you take your seat, arrange

Management your chairs properly. Kindly pick-up
some pieces of papers and plastics (Students will arrange their
under your chair. chairs and will pick up the
trashes.)
May I know who were the absent for
Checking of
today? None ma’am.
attendance
Okay. Very good it’s nice to know
that all of you are here.

Today we will be having our new

B. Review lesson but before that. Let’s have a
recap on the topic we’ve discussed
last meeting.

Anyone from the class who would

like to share what he/she had
learned about the topic last
meeting? (students will raise their
hands)
Yes (student’s name)?
Ma’am our last topic is all
about the simplifying
radical expressions.
Very good. So, again what is a
radical? Ma’am a radical expression
or radical is a term or
expression that contains a
square root.
Okay! Very good!
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 two groups.
You only have five minutes to finish
the activity, as many words as you
see.
Group 1 Group 2
(Student 1) (Student 2)
(Student 3) (Student 4)
Am I clear class?
Yes ma’am.
 Direction: Inside the cross-word
puzzle find words which are related
to our new topic.

R A D I C A L S E M
A N Y N A A O X P K
Q E W T Y R D B R T
S O L V I N G D T H
L E M B G O T F O E
Q S U B T R A C T S
A D V E A S L P J F
E Q U A T I O N G N
S K C D E F N G H N
E X P R E S S I O N

(After 5 minutes) what word did you

found inside the cross-word puzzle
group 1?

Ma’am the words are

Radicals and Equation.
Okay very good! How about the
group 2?
Ma’am the words that we
found are Solving, Subtract,
Add, and expression.
Okay very good class. Let’s give
ourselves a fireworks clap. (the students execute
fireworks clap)
D. Lesson Proper
From our activity, what do you think
is our topic for today? Anyone?
Ma’am I think our lesson
today is about radical
expressions.
That’s right. Today you will learn
more about solving equation on
addition of radical expressions.

Are you ready class? Yes ma’am.

Before we start here are our
objectives for today’s lesson. Can
you please read (student’s name)?
At the end of the lesson the
students should be able to:

a. performs addition of
radical expressions.
b. think and solve on
 problems involving radicals
Thank you. So that’s our objectives.

Adding radical expressions is similar

to adding like terms. Radicals are
considered to be like radicals, or
similar radicals, when they share
the same index and radicand. For
example, the terms 2√6 and 5√6
contain like radicals and can be
added using the distributive
property as follows:
2√6+5√6= (2+5) √6
= 7√6

Typically, we do not show the step

involving the distributive property
and simply write,
2√6+5√6= 7√6

When adding terms with like

radicals, add only the coefficients;
the radical part remains the same.

Similar Radicals
The pair of radical expressions are
similar:
2√2, 5√2

Only similar radicals can be

combined, that is, the algebraic sum
of two or more similar radicals can
be expressed as a single radical.

Example 1. Combine into a single

radical.
a. 4√5+ 3√5
b. 7 ³√5 + 3 ³√5.

Solution: The distributive property

is used in adding radicals.
The terms are like radicals;
therefore, add the coefficients.

a. 4√5+ 3√5
= (4+3) √5
= 7√5
b. 7 ³√5 + 3 ³√5
= (7+3) ³√5
= 10 ³√5
 Are we clear class?

Dissimilar Radicals Yes ma’am.

Radicals that are not similar, or
dissimilar radicals may become
similar when simplified.

If the radicand and the index are not

exactly the same, then the radicals
are not similar and we cannot
combine them.

Example 2. Make each pair of radical

expressions similar.
a.√8, √50
b.3√12, -2√48

Solution: Use the product and

quotient rule for radicals in
simplifying.
a. √8 √50
= √4·2 =√25·2
= 2√2 = 5√2
Combine all the similar terms.
=(2+5)√2
=7√2

b. 3√12 -2√48
= 3√4·3 =-2√16·3
= (3)(2)√3 = (-2)(4)√3
= 6√3 = -8√3
Combine all the similar terms.
= (6+-8)√3
= -2√3

Now, we will have an activity by

pair.
Activity
Direction: Combine into a single
radical.
1. 3√4+5√4
2. √6+√6
3. 2√2+4√2
4. 8√3+2√3
5. -4√2+3√2

You have 5 mins to answer the

problem. Am I clear class?
E. Generalization Yes ma’am.
You may start.
Okay ma’am.
 (after 5 mins)
Okay. Exchange paper in counter- (the students will exchange
clock wise direction. their paper)

All of you had a correct answer class!

Very good!

Let’s check if you really understand

our discussion.
Are you ready class?
Yes ma’am.
Are dissimilar radicals can be
similar radicals when simplified?
Yes ma’am.
To make a pair of radical expression
similar, what are you going to use? (students will raise their
hands)
Ma’am to make a pair of
radical expressions similar
we’re going to use the
product and quotient rule
for radicals in simplifying.
Okay, that’s right.

Given the equation √12, √48 what

do you think is the answer? Ma’am the answer will be
Anyone? 2√3 and 4√3.
Okay let’s give him 3 claps.

Are there any clarification or

question regarding our lesson today?
None ma’am.
F. Evaluate
Okay, if none I will give you a short
quiz.

Direction: Solve the following

radical equations.
1. 2√2+√2
2. 5√6+ 3√6
3. 4√3+ 9√3
4. 9√7+6√7+3√7
5. -2√27+√12 (answers)

1. 3√2
2.8√6
3.13√3
4. 18√7
5. -4√3
