Students investigate polynomials. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve problems dealing with multiplication of polynomials by using the distributive property and the FOIL method. Students...

Help learners study polynomials. They will review how to multiply polynomials either by using the FOIL method if they are multiplying a binomial by another binomial, or by using the distributive property.

Students explore multiplying polynomials. They observe solving polynomials using the standard order of operations, FOIL, and the box method. Throughout the demonstration, students explore strategies of solving word problems such as...

Learners perform factoring on the TI. In this algebra lesson, students factor equations using the FOIL method. They use the TI navigator to show each step using a visual.

Students participate in an activity to demonstrate the distributive property. They take notes as they observe different methods of FOIL. Afterward, students work on their own, and in groups to determine which method to use and complete...

Students classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. In this polynomials lesson, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson, students use special patterns and formulas to factor. They utilize algebra tiles as a hands-on method for gaining practice with trinomials.

Students factor trinomials using specific factoring methods. For this algebra lesson, students factor equations using the difference of squares and foiling. They play a game to enhance their understanding of factoring.

Young scholars factor polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems through factoring and distribution of the negative sign correctly.
