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

Students participate in an activity to demonstrate the distributive property. They take notes as they observe different methods of FOIL. Afterward, students work on their own, and in groups to determine which method to use and complete...

Learners perform factoring on the TI. In this algebra lesson plan, high schoolers factor equations using the FOIL method. They use the TI navigator to show each step using a visual.

Young scholars classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. For this polynomials lesson, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Students review the foil method used to multiply two binomials. In this lesson on evaluating algebraic expressions, students are able to identify the coefficient in an algebraic expression, "act out" the foil method of multiplying...

Learners factor polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems through factoring and distribution of the negative sign correctly.

Students factor trinomials using specific factoring methods. For this algebra lesson, students factor equations using the difference of squares and foiling. They play a game to enhance their understanding of factoring.

Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson, students use special patterns and formulas to factor. They utilize algebra tiles as a hands-on method for gaining practice with trinomials.

Students factor binomials and apply it. In this algebra lesson, students use patterns to factor difference of squares and FOIL to factor other binomials. They apply the concept of binomials to vertical multiplication.
