Questions:
a. What did you feel while translating verbal phrases into
mathematical expressions?
Answer may vary
b. What must be considered in translating verbal phrases to
mathematical phrases?
Exp. Ans. Key word/s that corresponds to mathematical
operations.
B. Establishing a Based on the previous activity.
purpose for the Ask:
lesson 1. Will you consider the mathematical expressions as
polynomial?
Ans. Yes
2. How will you describe a polynomial?
Ans. Polynomial is an expression consisting of
variables and coefficient.
3. Are all polynomials are expressions?
(teacher must lead the students the concrete answer)
“All polynomials are expressions but not all expressions are
polynomials”.
C. Presenting Teacher will introduce rational expressions.
examples of the Note: Let the learners identify which groups are rational or
new lesson not rational.

5x – 20 5m – 15 0 m-m
12k2 m+3
6k √2
1. What are your observations?
Answer may vary
2. How rational expressions differ from not rational
expressions?
Ans. Rational expressions differ from not rational in a sense
that the numerator is not equal
𝑃
to zero. In symbols: 𝑄
