Chapter 7 - Objective 2.1 Multiplying Terms

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

What is that fraction doing as an exponent? Fun math games prompt learners to practice evaluating radical expressions and expressions containing rational exponents, both in groups and individually.

Several examples of different types of algebraic expressions are multiplied. The distributive property demonstrates the steps needed to multiply the terms in the expressions. Sal combines the like-terms at the end of the presentation....

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...

It is not good enough to have the same variable, they must have the same exponents too. The video introduces the class to like terms, while giving the definition of like terms and providing examples of combining like terms through addition.

After a short review of exponents, Sal incorporates exponent properties into his sample problems. This video is a great resource for those who need Sal's steady pace of instruction and the challenge of more complicated problems.

This video focuses on a series of problems involving exponent properties. Sal demonstrates rational expressions, simplifying fractions, and manipulating algebraic equations using exponents and division.

What is the difference between an arithematic sequence and a geometric sequence? In an arithematic sequence the constant ratio is added, and in a geometric sequence the constant ratio is multiplied. Watch this video and learn how to use...

Investigate rational exponents in this math lesson. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.

Apply the power of mathematics to the power expressions. The lesson gives examples of expressions that utilize each of the exponent rules to simplify. Once seeing the exponent rules individually, scholars combine them to simplify an...
