How Do You Find the Area of a Rectangle Whose Sides are a Monomial and a Polynomial?

Sal takes polynomial equations in the other direction with this video where he shows how to factor them instead of adding or multiplying them. He has two goals in this activity: first, to show how to factor polynomial equations, and then...

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.

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.

Some polynomials, when multiplied, result in a special product. Sal uses the distributive property to demonstrate the multiplication process. He then explains why some polynomials cannot be completely simplified.

Multiply polynomials with Sal Khan! In this one-minute video, Sal describes what a monomial is, and how it can be used to express the area of a rectangle.

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.

Use the associative property of multiplication to regroup the like terms in this polynomial multiplication expression. Then multiply the terms and make sure it is in simplest form.

Getting the vocabulary straight is the first step to understanding polynomials. The video provides the basic vocabulary to describe polynomials. The resource links the vocabulary to the classification of polynomials both by degree...

The teacher explains how to write a polynomial in standard form. She first explains standard form and then shows several examples. A couple of expressions were not in standard form and I would have liked to see her rewrite these...

Adding and subtracting polynomials is as easy as adding like terms. Pupils watch a video introducing polynomials and how to use a known procedure to add and subtract the polynomials. Class members work a few problems and check them...
