How Do You Add Polynomials?

Use this video to build mathematical vocabulary through practical application. Sal breaks down the parts of a polynomial expression, identifying the coefficient and exponents while he defines them.

While explaining how to add polynomial expressions with multiple variables, Sal uses academic vocabulary and a clear thinking process. This video is relatively short and would be appropriate for students working on homework or prepping...

What makes terms like terms? Individuals explore the question as they view the video presentation. The lesson first models classifying like terms. The instructor goes on to demonstrate combining like terms in polynomial expressions of...

At times, polynomial expressions can be very long. Watch this video to see how Sal simplifies them by combining like terms. He explains his process and uses various colors to demonstrate why like terms are alike and why they can be...

Can you multiply a monomial by a polynomial? Yes you can, if you use the distributive property. Sal describes how to distribute the monomial term over the entire polynomial expression. He does a wonderful job explaining this concept.

Organize all the polynomials. The short video covers how to find the coefficient and degree of each of the terms of a polynomial. Using that information, pupils learn how to determine the leading coefficient and the degree of a...

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.

Subtracting like terms, combining like terms, and simplifying an expression all refer to the same thing here. The teacher explains two different methods of simplifying this subtraction expression.

Given verbal and symbolic representations of polynomial expressions, the student will simplify the expression.

Set the standard for working with polynomials. Pupils arrange two polynomial expressions in standard form. The scholars respond to questions about the terms, coefficients, and degrees of the polynomials. They then discuss how they...
