2. INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY
Get a piece of paper and a pen.
Do all of the directions given by writing them down
in your paper. There are 16 directions you need to
follow in 2 minutes ONLY so you must hurry!
3. 1. Read all the 16 steps first before doing or
writing anything.
2. Write your surname in the center of your
paper.
3. At the top of your surname, write numbers
1 to 10.
4. Draw three hearts at the top of number 3.
5. Shade the second heart.
4. 6. Encircle all even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
7. At the bottom of your paper, write your first
name.
8. Fold your paper in half. (making 2 columns)
9. Open your paper and wave to the teacher.
10.Draw a triangle at the back of your paper.
5. 11.Put an “X” in the center of the triangle.
12.Use the tip of your pen to poke a hole in
your paper straight through the “X” mark.
13.Tap your desk 10 times.
14.Write your teacher’s name anywhere in
the paper.
6. 15.If you have carefully done all steps, say
“I’M DONE!”
16.Now that you have finished reading
everything, do only steps 1 and 2.
7. What does the activity imply?
What might happen if we do not
obey or follow directions?
11. • Factoring is the process of
finding the factors of an
expression.
• It is the reverse process of
multiplication
Factoring Polynomials
12. 10x2y = ( ? )( ? )
Find the factors which when multiplied,
results to the given polynomial.
13. A. Common Monomial Factoring
B. Difference of Two Squares
C. Perfect Square Trinomial
D. Sum and Difference of Two Cubes
E. Quadratic Trinomial
Factoring Polynomials
36. CMF is like splitting an expression into
two factors, obtaining a common factor
from all terms.
ab + ac + ad
Common Monomial Factoring
ab + ac + ad
a (b + c + d)a
37. 1. Find the GCF of the numerical
coefficients; Find the variable with the
least exponent in each term of the
polynomial.
2. Divide each term in the polynomial by
the obtained GCF. The resulting
quotient is the other factor.
Steps in CMF:
38. Factor 12x3y5 – 20x5y2z .
4x3y2GCF:
1. Find the GCF of the numerical coefficients; Find the variable with the least
exponent in each term of the polynomial.
2. Divide each term in the polynomial by the obtained GCF. The resulting
quotient is the other factor.
3y3 – 5x2zQuotient:
4x3y2 (3y3 – 5x2z)Factored Form:
39. Factor 10a2b7 – 25a2b .
5a2bGCF:
1. Find the GCF of the numerical coefficients; Find the variable with the least
exponent in each term of the polynomial.
2. Divide each term in the polynomial by the obtained GCF. The resulting
quotient is the other factor.
2b6 – 5Quotient:
5a2b (2b6 – 5)Factored Form:
40. Factor 18x5 + 6x3 – 2x.
2xGCF:
1. Find the GCF of the numerical coefficients; Find the variable with the least
exponent in each term of the polynomial.
2. Divide each term in the polynomial by the obtained GCF. The resulting
quotient is the other factor.
9x4 + 3x2 – 1Quotient:
2x (9x4 + 3x2 – 1 )Factored Form:
41. Work with a partner.
Factor the following polynomials.
Determine the GCF, Quotient, and
Factored Form
