Professor Freedman's Video Snippets /Add/subtract Polynomials

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this lesson focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion follows the...

Define, simplify, add, and subtract polynomials. Identify the degrees of a polynomial. Determine if a polynomial is a monomial, a binomial, or a trinomial. Then look at simplifying a polynomial by combining the coefficient values of like...

Need a unique approach to adding and subtracting polynomials? A helpful math instructional activity approaches the concept by relating polynomials to base 10. It encourages pupils to see each term as having a specific value,...

Algebra tiles help pupils understand many different algebra topics. The video explains the process of adding and subtracting polynomials using the tool. Seeing the terms as individual tiles helps learners understand the idea of a...

Though they " sound like a really fancy word," polynomials prove to be no match for Sal's mathematical skills. After defining the term and providing a few examples, Sal works through a few equations that add or subtract polynomials,...

Distribute the negative one to subtract. Pupils watch a video that works through four examples of subtracting polynomials. The video starts with basic monomials, then moves into two binomials, and finishes up with trinomials. Each...

Adding two polynomials begins with simplifying when possible. Sal demonstrates the process he uses to combine like terms and explains why the process works. This video would be great for those who need a quick refresher.

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...

Subtract polynomials? Huh? First off find the additive inverse of the number you are subtracting. Next rewrite the polynomials one on top of the other. Make sure to line up the like terms and then write in placeholders. Now add the terms...

Students investigate the concept of adding and subtracting polynomials. They put terms in the correct order in order to solve them vertically. They simplify first with combining like terms and then conducting the calculations. The...
