Classroom Rules: The 5 P’s
1. Be prepared
2. Be positive
3. Be productive
4. Be respectful
5. Be participative
B. Developmental Activities
1. Review
“Before we start to our new lesson,
let us have first a review regarding
our previous lesson about adding
and subtracting similar rational
expressions.”
To add and subtract two rational expressions:
First, we have to copy the denominator since
“What are the steps in adding and
they are the same.
subtracting rational expressions?”
Next, factor and solve it.
Lastly, We have to simplify our answers if
possible.
“Very Good!”
C. Motivations
“Let’s have an activity. It is
about adding and subtracting a
fractions, so now we will going
to solve it.”
Yes ma’am
“Do you understand?”
“Okay, Let’s start!” 19
