Activity 1
This activity is called the cabbage peel. A paper crumpled into a cabbage form, a question about
factoring is written in each paper. The teacher will play a music and the students will pass the paper to
their classmates. When the music stops, whoever holds the crumpled paper will peel one paper and do
what is being asked.
Factor the following expressions: ANSWER KEY

1. 2 x −8 x 1. 2x(x-4)
2. −3 s 2−9 s 2. -3s (s + 3)
3. 4 x+20 x

5. x + 5 x−6
b. Engage
How did you factor those polynomials?
How did you know if the factors you got are correct? Did you try any method?
Now, let’s try to factor these expressions:
1. x 2+ 3 x −28
2. x2 - 10x + 21
3. 4r2 + 20r + 25
4. s2 + 8s + 12
Answer Key
2
1. x +3 x−28 = (x +7) (x -4)
2. x2 - 10x + 21 = (x -3) (x – 7)
3. 4r2 + 20r + 25 = (2r + 5)(2r + 5)
4. s2 + 8s + 12 = ( s + 4) (s + 8)
c. Explore
From the previous example that we have, how did you factor the quadratic expression? How about if
the previous expression is equated to zero?
Let the students show these equations on the board.
2
1. x +3 x−28 = 0
2. x2 - 10x + 21 = 0
3. 4r2 + 20r + 25 = 0
4. s2 + 8s + 12 = 0
Let the students set each factor of the equation to zero and let them solve for the solution of the
quadratic equation.
Answer Key
2
1. x +3 x−28 = (x +7) (x -4), x +7 = 0, x = -7, x - 4 = 0, x = 4
2. x - 10x + 21 = (x -3) (x – 7) , x – 3 = 0, x = 3 and x -7 = 0, x = 7
