More multiplying polynomials

If you can multiply multi-digit integers, you can multiply polynomials. Learners use an area model to compare multiplying numbers to multiplying polynomials. They progress to using the distributive property. 

Taking students through problems 17-19 in this practice CAHSEE, the speaker illustrates how to solve problems involving reading data from tables, probability, and scatterplots. The speaker models careful question-reading and the...

Reviewing basic algebra and graphing skills, this video guides students through three practice math problems on the CAHSEE. Seeing the work and thought process behind choosing the correct answer in a multiple choice question format.

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...

In the final two problems of the CAHSEE practice test, students are guided through algebraic equations involving factoring and reciprocals. This is a great resource for students who become confused by multiple choice questions, or who...

Probability and pie charts are the topics of problems 13-14 in this practice CAHSEE video, in which the speaker takes test review students through the work necessary to solve these problems. A teacher could present the video to a class...

A few geometric problems test your students' knowledge of area and volume in questions 35-37 of the practice CAHSEE. Sal goes through the strategies and hints for solving the problems with helpful narration and colorful annotation, which...

Where many multiplying binomial lessons introduce the tool of FOIL and move on, this video presentation really delves into the how's and why's of the distributive property. Careful treatment of distribution and explicitly written out...

This overview of polynomial operations does a solid job of summarizing how a mathematician attacks adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials. With particular emphasis on combining like terms and when exponents do and do not...
