Split the division up into segments. A helpful video works three different division problems involving polynomials and monomials. Pupils see how to divide each term separately by the monomial and then combine the individual quotients in the segment of a much larger video series.

Instructional Ideas

• Have classmates create a set of cards for a matching game with problems and answers
• Be careful to highlight that the procedure shown only works when the divisor is a monomial

Classroom Considerations

• Assumes the class understands exponent rules

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Uses colors to show each step
• Shows different ways to write division of polynomials
  

Cons

• Contains one slight error in the last solution
