of radical expressions. The teacher will let the
students study the equations by pair and ask how the
operation was being used.

Guess and Check:

a. √5 + √3 = √8
b. √5 + √5 = 2√10
c. 4√7 − 2√7 = 2√7

3. Analysis
- The teacher will ask questions about the activity.
1. Find the value of each statement.
2. Which of the following statements are true? Which
are false?
3. Do they have the same index? Same radicands?
4. Can you add/subtract the two radical expressions
with like radicals? Unlike radicals?
5. How to add/subtract radical expressions?

4. Abstraction
- The teacher will present the rules on the simplifying
radical expressions through operations.

a. Addition and Subtraction of Radical Expression

1. Simplify all radicals.
2. Combine only the like radical terms: same
radicands and same indices
3. Combine like radicals by combining the
coefficients of the radical term.
4. Perform the operation (either addition or
subtraction)

𝑎 √𝑥 + 𝑏 √𝑥 = (𝑎 + 𝑏) √𝑥

Note:

 √𝑎 + √𝑏 cannot be combined.

Ex. √4 + √9 = √13
2 + 3 = √13
5 ≠ √13

- The teacher will give some illustrative examples.

Illustrative Examples:
 √2 + √2 = (1 + 1)√2 = 2√2

 5. Application
- The teacher will divide the class into three groups.
Each group will answer the given a word problem.
The teacher will provide each group writing
materials for the solution. Then, the teacher will ask
for a volunteer for each group for board work.

For Group 1:

Leg Traction
To help align Adon’s broken bone, a doctor
uses traction as shown in the figure. Traction is
applied by fixing a weight, two pulleys and some
stainless steel cable to a broken leg. Based on the
setup shown, how many meters cable are used?

For Group 2:

Streamer
The area of the rectangular streamer is 20
square meters. Its width is 2√2 meters. How long is
the streamer?
