C. Establishing a Activity 1: Classify me
Purpose for the
New Lesson Direction: Classify each term if they are like
terms and unlike terms.
Like Terns Unlike Terms
3x and 7x 4ru2 and 4r2u
3x and 7x 2pq and 2p2q
2pq and 2p2q k and 8k
a2b2 and 2a2b2 2m and 7n
a2b2 and 2a2b2 2x and 5y
k and 8k
2m and 7n 2 2
4ru2 and 4r2u
2h g and 6h g
2h2g and 6h2g 2x and 5y
The teacher will paste these trips in the board

Like Terns Unlike Terms

Ask for volunteers to classify

DURING THE LESSON
D. Presenting Guide Questions:
Examples/Instances 1. What is your basis in classifying these “Same letters and same exponent”
of the New Lesson terms? “Like terms show the same literal
2. What is the difference between these coefficient while unlike terms are
two columns? not”
E. Discussing New *Put these along their corresponding column
Concept and
Practicing New Similar/Like terms
Skills #1
Are terms with similar
literal coefficient.

Dissimilar/Unlike terms
Are terms with different
literal coefficient.

In identifying like terms, the use of

Geometric figures might help.
NOTE:
*Listen
Only the signs located at the left side of
the term should be included in grouping.

“Let’s try identifying like terms”

1. 2x – 5 + 8x
Activity 2: Identify Like Terms
2. 3x3 + 4x – 8x + 7x3
1. 2x – 5 + 8x
2. 3x3 + 4x – 8x + 7x3 3. 5x2 – 6 + 8x – 3x2 + 2
3. 5x2 – 6 + 8x – 3x2 + 2
4. x + 5x – 2x + 1 - 6 4. x + 5x – 2x + 1 – 6
5. -9x2 -5x2y + 4xy2 + 4x2y
5. -9x2 -5x2y + 4xy2 + 4x2y
“So why do we need to identify like terms,
because we will need this in our topic addition
of polynomials
 Addition of Polynomials

To add polynomials, we
simply add any like terms
together (Student will listen and take notes)

“In adding polynomials by combining like

terms, you may use this acronym as your
guide”
Steps in Adding Polynomials

C - Combine similar/like Terms

A – Add the numerical
coefficient
C – Copy the literal coefficient

Example 1
(x) + (2x)

Method 1:
(x) + (2x)
x + 2x Remove Parenthesis
C – combine like Terms
3 A – Add numerical coefficient (Student will listen and take notes)
3x C – Copy Literal Coefficient

Method 2
x
+ 2x
3x (C A C)

Example 2:
(3x + 4) + (7x – 8)

Method 1:
(3x + 4) + (7x – 8)
3x + 4 + 7x – 8 Remove Parenthesis
3x + 7x + 4 – 8 C – combine like Terms
10 -4 A – Add numerical coefficient
10x - 4 C – Copy Literal Coefficient

Method 2:
(3x + 4) + (7x – 8)
3x + 4 + 7x – 8 Remove Parenthesis
(Student will listen and take notes)
3x + 4
+ 7x – 8
10x – 4 (C A C)
 Example 3:
(5x2 + 2x -3) + (-2x2 + 7)

Method 1:
(5x2 + 2x -3) + (-2x2 + 7)
5x2 + 2x -3 - 2x2 + 7 Remove Parenthesis
5x2 - 2x2 + 2x + 7 -3 C – combine like Terms
3 2 4 A – Add numerical coefficient
3x2 + 2x - 4 C – Copy Literal Coefficient

Method 2:
5x2 + 2x -3) + (-2x2 + 7) (Student will listen and take notes)
5x2 + 2x -3 - 2x2 + 7x Remove Parenthesis

5x2 + 2x -3
- 2x2 +7
3x2 + 2x +4 (C A C)

(Same Process)
Example 4:
(2x2 – 3x +2) + (-3x2 – 5x – 2)

Example 5:
2 (4x + 6) + (3x2 + 6x + 2)

Example 6:
4 ( -2x2 – 9x + 6) + 3 (10x2 + 8x – 5)

Example 7:
(4xy2 + 6x2y) + (3x2 + 4x2y + 2)

2. (4x2 + 3x + 6) + (6x2 + 3x -7) 2. 10x2 + 6x -1
3. (3x2 + 5x – 9) + (-3x + 4) 3. 3x2 + 2x -5

G. Finding Practical A JHS student saves 2b + 3a pesos every

Concepts and Skills Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays while 4a
in Daily Living + 6b every Tuesdays and Thursday. (2b + 3a) + (4a + 6b)
2b + 3a + 4a + 6b
a. What mathematical expression 8b + 7a
represents his total savings per week?
8b + 7a
b. If a is 10 pesos and b is 20 pesos, how 8(20) + 7(10)
much is her total savings in a week? 160 + 70
P 230
H. Making Guide Question:
Generalization and 1. Can we combine dissimilar terms when “No sir”
Abstractions adding polynomials?
2. How do we add polynomials? “Combine like terms”
