INTENTIONS
Content Standard: The learners demonstrate knowledge and understanding of algebraic expressions and operations with monomials,
binomials, and multinomials.
Performance By the end of the quarter, the learners are able to add and subtract monomials, and multiply combinations of
Standard monomials, binomials, and multinomials.
Learning Add and subtract simple monomials.
Competency: Multiply and divide simple monomials, leading to the derivation of the laws of exponents.
Multiply simple monomials and binomials with simple binomials and multinomials, using the distributive property
with various techniques and models.
