Polynomial Functions Teacher Resources

Meet the Function Family! Each member of the family has examples of their graphs and descriptions of the types of real-world situation that produce those graphs.

This interactive site uses applets to show sample graphs of each simple power function, a function plotter, graph puzzles, and more. Great site.

The goal of this task is to show via a concrete example that the property of polynomials is not shared by all functions when zero is involved. Aligns with A-APR.B.2.

This resource provides an overview of graphing, giving examples of general polynomial, radical, rational, and piecewise functions. Also includes advice on common mistakes made by students.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students use ''X'' and ''Y'' intercepts to graph polynomials of 3rd degree or higher. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch...

Use various methods in order to find all the zeros of polynomial expressions or functions using this five-question quiz.

Use various methods in order to find all the zeros of polynomial expressions or functions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

In this video, you will learn why the graph of a second degree polynomial curves by looking at input and output values of quadratic functions. [5:09]

Watch Sal work through a harder Polynomial factors and graphs problem.

Watch Sal work through a basic polynomial factors and graphs problem.

In this mini-lesson, students will learn about the world of functions. They will explore topics such as how to represent a function, conditions for a function, how to solve a function, types of functions, and various graphs of functions....

This video lesson demonstrates how to factor a polynomial to find its zeros and their multiplicities. Students can check their understanding with an assessment.

Students will be given binomials to multiply or trinomials to factor. The teacher will enter the binomials/trinomial into activity center and students must send in other form. Correct answers should match teacher graph.
