Main Activity 3 : Review the prerequisite topic
Activities
25-35 a. Teacher asks the students to give their opinion Students give opinion about
minutes about the square of a sum. the square of a sum
b. Teacher explains the square of a sum.
The form of the square of a sum:
Students hear the explanation
𝟐 𝟐 𝟐
(𝑨 + 𝑩) = 𝑨 + 𝟐𝑨𝑩 + 𝑩
c. Teacher asks the students to give their opinion
Students give opinion about
about the square of a difference.
the square of a difference
d. Teacher explains the square of a difference.
The form of the square of a sum: Students hear the explanation

(𝑨 − 𝑩)𝟐 = 𝑨𝟐 − 𝟐𝑨𝑩 + 𝑩𝟐

Activity 4: Explain the cube of a sum

a. Teacher explains the cube of a sum.

Students hear the explanation
Calculate (𝑎 + 𝑏)(𝑎 + 𝑏)2 (for any numbers a,b) about cube of a sum

 Conclude that (𝑎 + 𝑏)3 = 𝑎3 + 3𝑎2 𝑏 + 3𝑎𝑏 2 +
𝑏3
For any expression A and B, we also have:
(𝑨 + 𝑩)𝟑 = 𝑨𝟑 + 𝟑𝑨𝟐 𝑩 + 𝟑𝑨𝑩𝟐 + 𝑩𝟑
b. Teacher explains the form of the cube of a sum.
(𝑎 + 𝑏 )(𝑎 + 𝑏)2 = (a + b)(𝑎2 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2 )
= 𝑎3 + 2𝑎2 𝑏 + 𝑎𝑏 2 + 𝑎2 𝑏 +

2𝑎𝑏 2 +𝑏 3

= 𝑎3 + 3𝑎2 𝑏 + 3𝑎𝑏 2 + 𝑏 3
c. Teacher asks the students to answer exercise 1.
Applying Students answer the question
a) Calculate (𝑥 + 1)3 Answer:
a. (𝑥 + 1)3
= (𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 + 1)
=(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 2 + 𝑥 + 𝑥 +
1)
= (𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + +1)
= 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 + 𝑥 + 𝑥 2 +
2𝑥 + 1
= 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 + 1
b) Calculate (2𝑥 + 𝑦)3 b. (2𝑥 + 𝑦)3
= (2𝑥 + 𝑦)(2𝑥 + 𝑦)(2𝑥 +
𝑦)
= (2𝑥 + 𝑦)(4𝑥 2 + 2𝑥𝑦 +
2𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 2 )
= (2𝑥 + 𝑦)(4𝑥 2 + 4𝑥𝑦 +

Activity 5: Explain the cube of a difference

a. Teacher explains the cube of a difference.

Calculate [𝑎 + (−𝑏)]3(for any numbers a,b)

3
 Conclude that (𝑎 − 𝑏)3 = 𝑎3 − 3𝑎2 𝑏 + 3𝑎𝑏 2 − Students hear the explanation
𝑏3 about the cube of a difference

For any expression A and B, we also have:

(𝑨 − 𝑩)𝟑 = 𝑨𝟑 − 𝟑𝑨𝟐 𝑩 + 𝟑𝑨𝑩𝟐 − 𝑩𝟑
b. Teacher asks the students to find the form of the
cube of a difference.
Students answer the questions
[𝑎 + (−𝑏 )][𝑎 + (−𝑏)]2
= (a - b)(𝑎2 − 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2 )
= 𝑎3 − 2𝑎2 𝑏 + 𝑎𝑏 2 − 𝑎2 𝑏 +
2𝑎𝑏 2 − 𝑏 3
