Multiplication of Monomials by Polynomials: Distributing the Monomial

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Multiplication of Monomials by Polynomials: Distributing the Monomial interactive also includes:
  • Multiplying a Polynomial by a Monomial: An Explanation
  • Multiplying a Polynomial by a Monomial: An Application
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

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 the multiplication of a polynomial by a monomial.
