Intro to Polynomials in One Variable (Example)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

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 polynomial along with how to write it in descending order.

Instructional Ideas
  • Incorporate a polynomial in a context and ask the class to interpret the terms within that context
  • Provide problems to the class to have them determine the leading coefficient and degree without finding the coefficients and degree of each term
Classroom Considerations
  • Assumes learners understand exponents
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • Uses colors to highlight what the video references
  • Explains the exponents for the constant term
Cons
  • None
