Subtracting Polynomials Teacher Resources

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.

Bring some concrete reasoning to the skills of multiplying and combining terms. Using various strategies, the six activities in the module provide practice for the skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and diving polynomials. The...

Finding the additive inverse is not as complicated as you might think. The instructor demonstrates how to multiply each of the terms in the polynomial by -1 and explains how this works. But wait, there's a quicker way. What's that you...

So you want to learn how to add polynomials? Here are the steps: rewrite by removing the parentheses, identify the like terms, group like terms together, combine the like terms, and finally rewrite the simplified expression.

The instructor demonstrates how to line up two polynomials vertically to add them together. She emphasizes lining up the terms with the same powers. She also identifies some places where there is no term and shows how to write a...

A polynomial is the sum of one or more monomials. They are identified by the number of terms they have. Monomials, binomials, trinomials, find out what these terms identify.

Young scholars subtract monomials and polynomials by combining like terms. In this advanced subtraction lesson, students define the rules and properties for subtraction of polynomials. They apply the rules for addition to help with the...

High schoolers participate in a activity that focuses on the concepts of combining monomials to make polynomial expressions. They use algebra tiles to complete the exercises in the activity. This is hands-on learning with successive...

In this linear equations worksheet, students solve 9 different linear equations by applying the point-slope formula in each. First, they determine the linear equation of each. Then, students use the slope and one point of the line to...

High schoolers explore the concept of solving two-step equations. In this solving two-step equations lesson, students watch a short video about solving equations. High schoolers view a PowerPoint presentation about solving two-step...

Twenty-five problems present a variety of problems adding and subtracting polynomials. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View Solution"...

Demonstrates how to subtract polynomials when there are multiple variables in each polynomial. [2:10]

To subtract polynomials, distribute the negative sign to the second polynomial and then combine like terms. Watch this tutorial to see how it's done. [2:07]
