Multiplying Monomials

The Pythagorean Theorem makes an appearance yet again in this lesson on polynomial identities. Learners prove a method for finding Pythagorean triples by applying the difference of squares identity. 

Tiles are not just for algebra—see how they can help with multiplication too. Young mathematicians learn to use algebra tiles to model the multiplication of polynomials. A follow-up worksheet provides practice with the skill.

While explaining how to add polynomial expressions with multiple variables, Sal uses academic vocabulary and a clear thinking process. This video is relatively short and would be appropriate for students working on homework or prepping...

Use prime factorization to find the greatest common factor of four given values. What are the factors that all four given values have in common? Identify them, and then multiply together to get the greatest common factor. Just like that....

Length times width times height. Yes, the formula for the volume of a rectangular shape. But the values are monomials. Use the knowledge you have to multiply the monomials and then write it in simplest form.

Watch this tutorial and you'll be able to find the degree of a monomial. What is a degree? Don't worry, clear definitions and explanations will provide you with everything needed to solve expressions involving degrees.

You've got a cube and a monomial for the length of a side, how do you find the volume? Oh, and the monomial expression has exponents. Just use the formula for finding the volume of a cube and use the properties of powers to multiply the...

Multiply two monomial rational expressions and then rewrite the solution in simplest form. Multiplying seems straightforward, but what about the reducing part? Find the greatest common factor. Then divide the numerator by the GCF, and...

Help your mathematicians learn how to find a quotient through dividing monomials. They will also learn how to use the quotient of powers rule to simplify. Note: a great video to show to your remedial Algebra learners.

Cover the least common multiple with this tutorial. A decent video that shows the steps necessary for finding the least common multiple among 3 numbers, this resource could prove useful in or out of class. You might give this to learners...
