L5.3 Worksheet: Multiplying and Factoring Polynomials

Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

Introduce your class to the lattice method as a way to multiply polynomials. This lesson is specifically aimed at getting students to use methods other than Algeblocks to solve polynomials.

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...

There's only one way to multiply, right? Not when it comes to polynomials. Reach each individual by incorporating various representations to multiplying polynomials. This lesson approaches multiplying polynomials from all angles. Build...

Explain the process of multiplying polynomials presented in different forms. The video instructor shows examples of both two and three binomials. One example shows the multiplication of a binomial squared illustrating the difference in...

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.

This is an interesting problem that approaches higher-degree polynomials from a different perspective. Given a third-degree polynomial, two known zeros, and a y-intercept, find the value of the polynomialÕs coefficients. This problem...

It's time for a refresher! Young mathematicians watch a video that reviews the concept of multiplying polynomials. The video covers four examples: (1) multiplying a constant by a binomial; (2) multiplying two binomials; (3) squaring a...

Students explore multiplying polynomials. They observe solving polynomials using the standard order of operations, FOIL, and the box method. Throughout the demonstration, students explore strategies of solving word problems such as...

Make two parts into a whole. Scholars learn to multiply polynomials to create a simplified polynomial expression. Polynomials include monomial, binomials, and trinomials.
