Adding and subtracting polynomials is as easy as adding like terms. Pupils watch a video introducing polynomials and how to use a known procedure to add and subtract the polynomials. Class members work a few problems and check them...

Help your class find patterns in polynomial multiplication. Pupils multiply a trinomial by a binomial using a graphic organizer. They respond to questions about patterns observed in polynomial multiplication before a discussion question...

Is it possible to use the distributive property with several terms? Learners multiply a polynomial by a binomial using the same method as with a monomial. The scholars distribute each term of the binomial to each term in the polynomial...

An interactive shows graphically the distribution of a monomial across all the terms in a polynomial multiplication problem. Pupils relate the specific example to a more general problem then make conclusions to develop a pattern for...

It all depends upon the terms. Pupils use the interactive table to sort polynomials. The scholars determine the names for the types of polynomials based on the number of terms.

Scholars learn how using algebra tiles to add and subtract polynomials can model how to combine polynomials. They use their newfound knowledge to complete a worksheet of problems.

Slide the coefficients to determine sums of polynomials. The interactive contains sliders to change the coefficients of an addend in a polynomial addition problem. Pupils determine the coefficients of the addend to arrive at particular...

Stack the like terms to add vertically. The resource contains a visual aid to help with the addition of polynomials using the vertical method. Pupils use the aid to calculate the sum of two polynomials.

Count on tiles to add polynomials. Pupils drag virtual algebra tiles onto colored mats to represent the sum of two polynomials. The learners count the number of like tiles to find the coefficient of each term. They finish...

There is zero reason not to use the resource. Given a graph with a polynomial function and a linear function, scholars move the line in an interactive. To wrap up the lesson, they note how zeros and intersection points change.

Shortcut the work in finding total volumes. Pupils determine a polynomial expression that would represent the combined volume of three boxes. Each box has the same height, and the scholars rewrite the expression by factoring out the...

Cover the cork board with pictures of the house. The interactive provides pictures of a house to duplicate and cover a given area. The pictures' dimensions are expressed as binomials. Pupils determine the area of the cork board based...

Polynomials are full of solutions! Learners understand that the degree determines the number of solutions. Examples show quadratic equations solved by factoring and by using the quadratic formula. A cubic equation is even mixed in for...

Section 9 of the 12 linked Saxon Math sections introduces the young algebrist to graphing periodic functions, creating graphs from quadratic roots, working with inequalities, and rational equations. Common among all the lessons is the...

Move on into trigonometry. An informative eBook takes the content of a College Algebra course and adds more relating to trigonometry and trigonometric functions. The content organization allows pupils to build upon their learning by...

Find out when rational expressions are closed. Pupils review adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with rational numbers to make the connections to operations with rational expressions. Using specific examples, learners notice...

Build a pyramid of sums. An interactive presents the first five rows of Pascal's Triangle as a pyramid. Pupils match missing entries in the pyramid and continue the pattern to determine entries of other rows. The learners use the entries...

It is all about the shift. Pupils translate the graph of a cubic function to different marked locations on the plane and determine the new equation that represents the shifts. The activity is designed to encourage individuals begin...

Graphing all kinds of situations in one and two variables is the focus of this detailed unit of daily lessons, teaching notes, and assessments. Learners start with piece-wise functions and work their way through setting up and solving...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

The LCM will be your new BFF. Learners review least common multiple and least common denominator applications, mostly on fractions, from middle school. Scholars then see how the LCM can be applied to various types of problems from...

What is that fraction doing as an exponent? Fun math games prompt learners to practice evaluating radical expressions and expressions containing rational exponents, both in groups and individually.
