1. Turn on your camera and mute your microphone only when instructed to do so. Listen carefully and speak one at a time without using the conversation box. 2. The document discusses factoring polynomials by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of terms. It provides examples of factoring polynomials that have a common monomial factor like 4x^2 and 6x. 3. Students are instructed on how to find the GCF, which is the largest numerical coefficient and variable factor that is common between all terms. They are provided examples of factoring polynomials using the distributive property.

2. 1. Turn on your Camera
always!Especially Do not
Play while the class is on
going.
2. Mute your Microphone only
when I called you to do so
3. Speak One at A Time
4. Listen Very Carefully
5. Do not use the
Conversation Box as You
are not required to do so!

3. Pen
Paper/Notebook
Book in Math
Calculator
Scratch Paper

4. ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION
It is an expression that contains numbers, letters or
variables and operation symbol.
A L _ _ _ R _ I _
_ X P _ _ S _ I _ N

5. VARIABLE
Refers to letter that is used to represent a number in an
algebraic expression.
V _ _ I _ _ L E

6. POLYNOMIAL
It refers to the sum of one or more monomials. It is also
named according to the number of terms.
P O _ _ _ O _ I A _

7. CONSTANT
These are numbers with a fixed value or a term in an
algebraic expressions that contains no variable.
_ O _ S T _ _ T

8. MONOMIAL
It refers to a polynomial with one term. It can be a
variable or a constant alone
M _ _ O _ I A _

9. FACTORS
It refers to the numbers that are multiplied to obtain a
product.
F_ _ T O _ _

10. Factoring Polynomials
with Common Monomial
Factor

11. Learning Target:
At the end of the lesson:
I can factor polynomial with common
monomial factor

12. Let’s Get Involved!
Instructions:
1. Get a sheet of paper.
2. Fold it into three Lengthwise.
3. Fold it into two crosswise.
4. Label the 2 folded square (length) as “x”
5. Label the 2 folded square (width) as “x”
6. Then the remaining side in the length as “1”

13. x
x
1

14. Area = length x width

15. Factorization or
Factoring consists of
writing a number or
another mathematical
object as a product of
several factors,
usually smaller or
simpler objects of the
same kind.

16. In Factoring Polynomials, Remember!
Rewriting a polynomial as product of polynomials of smaller degree.
The distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
a(b+c)=ab+ac

17. Remember:
The Greatest Common Factor of two or more
monomials is the common factor having the greatest
numerical factor and with variables having the least
degree.

18. For example, we can use the distributive property to find
the product of 3x^2 and 4x+3
1

19. How about?
1. What is the common factor between the numerical coefficient 4 and 6?
2
2. How many variable “x” is common between “ x squared” and “x”?
x
COMMON MONOMIAL FACTOR
4 = 1 x 4 , 2 x 2
6 = 1 x 6, 2 x 3
x^2 = x . x
x = 1 . x

20. 3. What number will be multiplied into “2x” to have “4x squared”
2x
4. What number will be multiplied into “2x” to have “6x”?
3

22. Let’s Try!
Find the greatest common factor of:
1. 12a and 36ab
2. 6x and 12x^2y
Factor completely:
3. 5x + 10
4. 4x^2 + 4
