Once you feel comfortable with solving long division problems with rational numbers, it is time to learn how to solve long division problems that deal with polynomials! Below is a video showing several examples of how to divide polynomials using long division. Below is a video that serves as a helpful review of how to do long division with rational numbers. It is important that you understand how to do this so you can understand dividing polynomials using long division. Enjoy! Don't forget to check out the homework from this lesson. Don't forget!! Test corrections are due tomorrow! You don't have your test correction sheet? Download another copy here.
You weren't happy with your score? I want to help you understand how to work with polynomails even if it takes a little longer for you to get it. RETAKES ARE AVAILABLE. Just fill out the retake form and bring it back to me. Extra study sessions available:
Our next unit of study will be over factoring polynomials. Sometimes people question why it is important to study math. They often ask if what they are learning in class will ever really be of use to them in their real lives. If you are struggling with similar questions, I invite you to take a look at one response to this common question by following the link below. Station 1: Identifying Parts of Polynomials and Identifying their degrees Review our vocabulary and practicing identifying important parts of polynomials by reading the information at the this link. Make sure you understand the words: term, coefficient, polynomial, degree, binomial, trinomial, and polynomial. Then, play the matching game with your teammates with the cards provided to review these terms. Matching game rules: players take turns flipping over two cards at a time. If the player gets a "match" (a definition that matches the picture), they get to keep the match. The player with the most matches at the end of the game is the winner! Station 2: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Begin by reviewing adding and subtracting polynomials by watching the video below from time 6:32-11:50. Once the whole group has watched the video, form two teams and use whiteboards to answer the questions found at this link. Rules: Both teams should answer every question. Only after both teams have given a final answer should you look at the answer. Give a point for every correct answer to both teams and an extra point to the team that gets the correct answer first. Station 3: Multiplying Polynomials and Finding Special Products. Watch the following video to review multiplying Polynomials. Then, work INDIVIDUALLY to answer as many of the multiplication problems on the worksheet as possible. ALSO write and solve a problem that is a difference of squares. Check your answers with the answer key when there are 2 minutes remaining at this station and see how many you got correct.
In class we are finishing up our "mini unit" on polynomials. We will be testing over this soon after we can confidently multiply polynomials and after we have reviewed the material we learned from before break (adding and subtracting polynomials, polynomial basics). Check out the videos below for review of multiplying polynomials. The second video gives an example of multiplying polynomials to solve a geometry problem.
The next video (below) helps you review the basics of Polynomials and how to add and subtract them.
