B. Preliminary Activity 1. Drill/ Review Teachers Activity Class, as a sort of review, how we factor the difference of two squares? Students Activity

Maam, we can factor the difference of two squares by finding the square roots of the first and second term.

Very good! The difference of two squares is equal to the product of their sum and difference. Okay class, I will show you a flashcard, and then you will factor the terms as flashed. Are you ready class? Question #1: k2 64 Correct! Question #2: 9 x2 Good! Question #3: 36x2 25 Right! Question #4: 100t4- 9u2 Very good! Question #5: 4x4 49y2 Excellent!

2. Motivation Class, for this day we will have an interesting activity called THE TREE OF MATHEMATICS I have here a giant tree puzzle but first I will divide you into four teams namely: the Mathalinos, the Mathtulungin, the Pascalians and the Galelians. The first team who can answer three consecutive questions will be receiving a prize. If a team got a correct answer, they will have the chance to detach one piece of the puzzle tree. After the game, a certain words will reveal. 1. What is the 100? 2. What operation are we going to use in solving the products of two binomials? 3. The factors of 121 is ________ 4. The exponential form of x2. x2. x2 is ________ 5. If we multiply a positive number (+) to a negative (-) number the answer will have the sign of ________ 6. The square root of 225 is ______ 7. What are the factors of 81? 8. 12 x 12 is equal to ________ Answer: 10

Answer: Multiplication Answer: 11 x 11 Answer: (x2)3

Answer: Negative (-) Answer: 15 Answer: 9 x 9 Answer: 144

3. Lesson Proper Classes, based on our activity, do you have any idea what our lesson for today is?

Maam, our lesson for today is about Perfect Square Trinomial. Maam, trinomial is an algebraic expression with three terms. We can say a trinomial is a perfect square trinomial if the first and third terms are both squares and positive. If the middle term doubles the product of the square roots of the first term and third term.

Very good! What is a Trinomial?

How can we say that a trinomial is a perfect square trinomial?

Excellent! In order to factor a square trinomial, we reverse the process we use in squaring a binomial. Thus, we can have this formula: (x2 + 2xy + y2) = (x + y)2 x2 2xy + y2 = (x y)2 But when we use these formulas, be sure that the expression we are to factor is a perfect square trinomial. In the simple manner, we can factor a perfect square trinomial by finding the square root of the first and third term, then copy the sign of the middle term. Now, let us apply the principle in the following examples: a. x2 + 20 x + 100 The first and the third terms are square roots are x and 10, respectively. If we double the product of x and 10, we get the middle term which is 20x. Therefore, x2 + 20 x + 100 is a perfect square trinomial whose factors are x + 10 and x + 10 or (x + 10)2

b. x2 22x + 121

The answer is (x-11) (x-11) or (x-11)2 because the square root of x2 is x and the square root of121 is 11, and considering the sign of the middle term which is negative.

Class, can you follow? Let us have another example: c. 100m2 + 60m + 9 100m2 + 60m + 9 = 100m2 + 9 = (10m + 3) (10m + 3) or (10m + 3)2 a2 + 10a + 25 = a2 + 25 = (a + 5) (a + 5) or (a + 5)2 r2 8r + 16 = r2 - 16 = (r 4) (r 4) or (r 4)2

d. a2 + 10a + 25

e. r2 8r + 16

4. Application (Group Work) From the four teams during our activity, choose two representatives who will compete with the other groups. Just raise your flaglets if you know already the answer. Question #1: What are the factors of 25n + 10n + 1?
2

25n2 +10n + 1 = 25n2 + 1 =(5n + 1)(5n + 1) or (5n + 1)2 64 + 16z + z2 = 64 + z2 = (8 + z) (8 + z) or (8 + z)2 144x2 72x + 9 = 144x2 - 9 = (12x 3) (12x 3) or (12x 3)2

Question #2: The factors of 64 + 16z + z2 are ___________.

Question #3: Factor 144x 72x + 9

5. Generalization Again class, how will we know if a trinomial is a perfect square trinomial?

If the first and the third terms are both squares and positive. If the middle term doubles the product of the square roots of the first and third term.

How can we easily factor a perfect square trinomial?

To factor a perfect square trinomial just simply find the square root of the first and the third term and copy the sign of the middle term. None, Maam!
