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.

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...

Factoring patterns are not magic! Show your classes how to model the difference of two squares' factors using an area model. Learners manipulate the width and length of two squares to represent the polynomial a^2-b^2. They use the model...

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.

Investigate the process of factoring polynomials by grouping. A detailed lesson initially has learners follow a set-by-step example. They then drag terms to complete the three steps of a new problem. 

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...
