Unit Five: Polynomials

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  1. Students will demonstrate an understanding of polynomials.
  2. Students will model, record, and explain addition and subtraction of polynomials.
  3. Students will model, record, and explain the multiplication and division of polynomials with monomials.

VOCABULARY:

  • algebra
  • term
  • polynomial
  • degree of term
  • degree of polynomial
  • like terms

NOTES:

The video to the left breaks down the distributive property, a mathematical concept that is critical for understanding how to multiply polynomials by monomials.

This video will also be helpful when we study equations later in the year.
