DETAILED LESSON IN GRADE 9

____________________________________________________________________________

I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, at least 75% of the students are expected to:
a. Define Radical Equation,
b. Solve equations involving radical expressions, and
c. Solve problems involving radicals.

A. SUBJECT MATTER
A. TOPIC: SOLVING RADICAL EQUATIONS
B. REFERENCES: Mathematics Learner’s Module for Grade 9, pages 280-295, https://slideshare.net
C. MATERIALS: Manila Papers, Marker, Chalkboard, Chalk, and Activity Sheets, PPT
D. SKILLS/PERFORMANCE STANDARD: critical thinking and problem solving, determine the number of possible
ways of doing certain tasks, or selecting some objects from a set. Collaborate with teacher and peers.
E. VALUES INTEGRATION: Self-awareness, Decision Making, patience, giving the importance of the
Topic.

F. CONCEPTS: Radical Equation is an equation in which the variable appears in a radicand.

In solving radical equations, we can use the fact that if two numbers are equal, then

squares of two numbers are equal, the
numbers may or may not be equal. Such

as, (-3) = 3 , but -3 . It is therefore
important to check any possible
solutions for radical equations. Because
in squaring both sides of a radical
equation, it is possible to get extraneous
solutions.

So, Let’s have another Example;

Learned.

Generalization Who can share? Ma’am, I learned how to solve radical

equations and how simplifying radical
expression help it.

Thank You! That is Right.

Now that you already know how to

solve radical equations and somehow
relate that skills to solving real-life
problem, Let us try to apply this
understanding by answering the
following.
III. EVALUATION
A. Solve the following radical equations:
1. √
2. √
3. √ √
4. √
B. Solve the given problem then answer the questions that follow.

A wire is anchor on a 9-meter pole. One part is attached to the top of the pole and the other is 2 meters away from
the base?

1. How long is the wire?

2. What will happen if the wire is farther/nearer to the base?
3. What mathematical concepts did you use?

IV. ASSIGNMENTS
A. Solve the radical equations. Write your solution and the property, definition or theorem that you use in
your solution.
1. √ √
2. √
B. Try to answer the following questions:
1. What quadrilaterals has diagonal that do not bisect each other?
2. What is quadrilateral?
