Adding Polynomials Teacher Resources

While explaining how to add polynomial expressions with multiple variables, Sal uses academic vocabulary and a clear thinking process. This video is relatively short and would be appropriate for students working on homework or prepping...

Adding two polynomials begins with simplifying when possible. Sal demonstrates the process he uses to combine like terms and explains why the process works. This video would be great for those who need a quick refresher.

Teach the concepts of adding and subtracting polynomials using this video tutorial. The instructor explains one addition and one subtraction example. She highlights the idea of the implied one and the distributive property.

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.

Though they " sound like a really fancy word," polynomials prove to be no match for Sal's mathematical skills. After defining the term and providing a few examples, Sal works through a few equations that add or subtract polynomials,...

Students practice adding polynomials using algebra tiles. Students view a PowerPoint presentation in which they are introduced to the concept of modeling polynomials using a scaled down version of algebra tiles. Students walk through...

Define, simplify, add, and subtract polynomials. Identify the degrees of a polynomial. Determine if a polynomial is a monomial, a binomial, or a trinomial. Then look at simplifying a polynomial by combining the coefficient values of like...

Check that! The presenter works several polynomial addition and subtraction problems and shows pupils how to check the answer using the table function in a graphing calculator. By typing in the initial problem and the answer in the...

Put out by Texas Instruments, this instructional activity involves learners in an activity focused on adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, and expanding binomials. A TI-89 calculator is needed to complete this...

In this polynomial addition worksheet, students must apply operational properties to various binomials and trinomials. There are 6 equations to solve.

In this polynomial worksheet, students collect like terms to add polynomials of multiple variables. Explanations and examples are provided prior to the exercise. This two-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this adding worksheet, students add polynomials using a vertical and horizontal format. They simplify all answers. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Students investigate the concept of adding and subtracting polynomials. They put terms in the correct order in order to solve them vertically. They simplify first with combining like terms and then conducting the calculations. The...

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this instructional activity focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion...

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.

This overview of polynomial operations does a solid job of summarizing how a mathematician attacks adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials. With particular emphasis on combining like terms and when exponents do and do not...

How are your classes with polynomial operations? If they need a little extra support, this is the video for you! The lesson instructor explains several examples building from a simple addition of polynomials to a more complex example...

Get in one last practice. Pupils work through 12 problems and a performance task to review the topics in Unit 1. The problems cover analyzing and modeling with graphs, algebraic properties of equality, and adding, subtracting, and...

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...

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...
