Teacher’s Activity
A. Reviewing Have you ever tried to make a box?
previous lesson Today we will make 3 open boxes of
or presenting different sizes. If you have not tried
the new lesson making one, follow the directions in the
Activity Sheet 1 which will be
distributed to you in a short while.
(7 minutes) Meanwhile, go to your assigned group.
(Assuming the class has been divided
to small groups).
B. Establishing Discuss the results of activity 1.
a purpose for Draw a similar table on the board and
the lesson fill one column based on students’
(7 minutes) answers.
Guide Questions:
a. How did you get the length, width
and height?
b. How do you get the volume of
rectangular solids?
How about the volume of the boxes
that you made?
c. If the side of the square in each
corner is x instead of 2 cm, what will be
the length of the box to be formed?
The width? The height?
d. Therefore how will you represent
the volume of the box, V(x) in terms of
x?
e. What is the resulting equation when
V(x)= (28-2x)(22-2x)x is simplified?
f. What do you call to the expression
represented by the right side of the
equation in e?
g. Are 28-2x and 22-2x considered also
as polynomials?
h. Do you still remember the degree of
polynomials?
i. What is the degree of polynomials in
e and g?
C. Presenting Let us have more examples of
examples/ polynomials, by answering the activity
instances of the 1 (Which is Which) on Mathematics
new lesson 10 Learner’s Module page 106. (call
(5 minutes) volunteers to answer)

D. Discussing This time, let us recall how polynomial
new concepts was defined. A polynomial function is
and practice a function of the form
new skills #1 ( )
(13 minutes) , ,
Where n is a nonnegative integer,
, are real numbers
called coefficients, is the
leading term (the term of highest
degree) , is the leading
coefficient (the coefficient of the
leading term), is the constant
term (the term of degree 0) , and the
exponent n is the degree (the
highest exponent of the variable, in
the case of a polynomial with one
variable) of the polynomial.
Emphasize how the polynomials may
be written.
a. It can be in any order.
b. In standard form - if written in
decreasing powers of x.
To check if you have understood the
discussion earlier, try to perform
Activity 2 (Fix and Move Them, then
Fill Me Up) on page 107 of the
Mathematics 10 Learner’s Material.
You are given 5 minutes to answer it.
(After 5 minutes, let them check their
own answers. Refer on Mathematics

correct answers)
E. Discussing Other than P(x), polynomials can be
new concepts denoted by f(x) or y, thus it can be
and practice written like the following.

or
It can also be written in factored form
as a product of irreducible factors, that
is, a factor that can no longer be
factored using coefficients that are real
numbers.
Here are some examples.

polynomial functions of x as you can
from the following numbers:

Use all the numbers once as coefficient
or as exponent. Write your polynomial
functions in standard form; identify the
degree of each, the leading coefficient
and the constant term. Use the
template below for your answer.
