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...

An informative module highlights eight polynomial concepts. Learners work with polynomial functions, expressions, and equations through graphing, simplifying, and solving. 

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...

Set the standard for working with polynomials. Pupils arrange two polynomial expressions in standard form. The scholars respond to questions about the terms, coefficients, and degrees of the polynomials. They then discuss how they...

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's only one way to multiply, right? Not when it comes to polynomials. Reach each individual by incorporating various representations to multiplying polynomials. This lesson approaches multiplying polynomials from all angles. Build...

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...

Some lessons feature videos, some interactive practice problems, and some have notes and activities. This comprehensive look at factoring and solving polynomial equations using the zero product principle has all of this and more. Though...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

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...

Bring some concrete reasoning to the skills of multiplying and combining terms. Using various strategies, the six activities in the module provide practice for the skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and diving polynomials. The...

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a lesson on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients of one...

Learn to gain power in finding derivatives. The resource introduces the power rule. Using the sliders in the interactive, pupils create polynomial functions and find their derivatives. Given the derivative of a polynomial, learners...

Instead of the typical function application problems, learners think a little deeper through these ten problems. Multiple types of functions are represented and the questions add a variety of thinking to practice their skills. 

Push an engaging resource to the limit. The interactive allows learners to find a limit on quadratic functions graphically. Using sliders, pupils set the x-value for the limit and to move values from the left and right toward the limit.

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...
