Questions:
2x2=
• How do you find the activity?
3x3= • What fundamental operation
4x4= did we use to get the answer?
• It is necessary to familiarize the
axa= multiplication table.
mxm
z3 x z3 =
B. Find the product of the sum and difference of two terms.
1. (x + 2) (x – 2) =
2. (y + 1) (y – 1) =
3. (ab + xy) (ab – xy) =
4. (m + 9) (m – 9) =
Questions:
Were you able to find the answer?
What is the operation of the final answer?
What did you observe during the first term and the last term
of the final answers?
Motivation/Recall
A video presentation on factoring difference
squares and their examples. 1. Why is it called a difference of
two squares?
2. What operation is used between
the two squares?
3. What are the operations used if
we factor the two squares of
numbers or variables?
4. What do you call the result of the
binomial times binomial?
5. Before factoring in the given
problem, what is the first thing to
do?
6. What is the most important thing
that we need to do in factoring the
difference between two squares?
Abstraction/Generalization
a.How will you factor out a difference
between two squares?
b.Why do we need to familiarize the
numbers that are perfect squares?
