Multiplying Polynomials Teacher Resources

Do not let the distributive property foil you. Individuals hear about the FOIL method to multiply two binomials and how it is nothing more than the distributive property. Pupils learn two methods of multiplying any two polynomials. They...

Students explore multiplying polynomials. They observe solving polynomials using the standard order of operations, FOIL, and the box method. Throughout the demonstration, students explore strategies of solving word problems such as...

Introduce your class to the lattice method as a way to multiply polynomials. This lesson is specifically aimed at getting students to use methods other than Algeblocks to solve polynomials.

There's only one way to multiply, right? Not when it comes to polynomials. Reach each individual by incorporating various representations to multiplying polynomials. This lesson approaches multiplying polynomials from all angles. Build...

Students investigate polynomials. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve problems dealing with multiplication of polynomials by using the distributive property and the FOIL method. Students also describe how...

Explain the process of multiplying polynomials presented in different forms. The video instructor shows examples of both two and three binomials. One example shows the multiplication of a binomial squared illustrating the difference in...

Make two parts into a whole. Scholars learn to multiply polynomials to create a simplified polynomial expression. Polynomials include monomial, binomials, and trinomials. 

Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

Apply the distributive property to multiply a monomial times a polynomial to get the area of a rectangle. Then use this information to solve a word problem.

From exponents to monomials to polynomials, it's important to expand your ability to multiply. An instructional video first reviews the rules for multiplying exponents and multiplying monomials. Viewers then learn how to multiply...

It's time for a refresher! Young mathematicians watch a video that reviews the concept of multiplying polynomials. The video covers four examples: (1) multiplying a constant by a binomial; (2) multiplying two binomials; (3) squaring a...

Young scholars explore the concept of multiplying polynomials. In this multiplying polynomials instructional activity, students watch a video clip about basic math skills. Young scholars work in groups on an exploration about why a...

Help learners study polynomials. They will review how to multiply polynomials either by using the FOIL method if they are multiplying a binomial by another binomial, or by using the distributive property.

Sal completes a practice problem to reinforce and apply the concepts learned in previous Khan videos on multiplying polynomials. This would be a significant practice problem to do with your students.

Investigate polynomial multiplication with the TI-nspire handheld calculator. Using the applications on this calculator, learners explore multiplication of numbers, binomials, a binomial by a polynomial, and polynomials. The dynamic...

Apply the distributive property to multiply a monomial times a polynomial to get the area of a rectangle. Then use this information to solve a word problem.

Without ever relying on the FOIL trick, this presentation carefully walks young algebrists through multiplying binomials by a monomial and by each other. Examples start easy, but move into complicated pairings of coefficients, positives...

Students solve polynomial problems. In this algebra lesson, students multiply polynomial equations using FOIL and quadratic formula. They complete the square and factor by grouping.

In this algebra worksheet, students multiply polynomials using the distributive property and the foiling method. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

Pupils use blocks and markers to illustrate the processes of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers. In this mathematics lesson, learners use Algebra blocks to demonstrate multiplying polynomials.

Tiles are not just for algebra—see how they can help with multiplication too. Young mathematicians learn to use algebra tiles to model the multiplication of polynomials. A follow-up worksheet provides practice with the skill.

In this polynomials worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include multiplication. First, they multiply the first terms of each binomial. Then, students multiply the outside terms and then the inside terms....

Build a true understanding of division of polynomials. Learners use their knowledge of multiplying polynomials to create an algorithm to divide polynomials. The area model of multiplication becomes the reverse tabular method of division.
