Use the strategy of working backwards to practice factoring polynomials and multiplying binomials in a game format. Play, and work to find which products combined with the available factors will result in the placement of four tokens in...

Learners identify and describe polynomials and their elements, discuss simple parts that make up equations, inequalities, and exponents, take notes on definitions of terms and their types, including monomials, binomials, and trinomials,...

Make a connection between rational expressions and rational functions. Pupils review simplifying and performing operations on rational expressions and recall what it means for two rational expressions to be equivalent based on their...

Students use the bisection method to approximate the roots of a polynomial. They evaluate functions for a given point, graph linear and quadratic functions, and recognize the elements of polynomial expressions.

What is that fraction doing as an exponent? Fun math games prompt learners to practice evaluating radical expressions and expressions containing rational exponents, both in groups and individually.

Students are given a set of Old Poly cards and then match polynomials to their factored forms in a game of Old Maid. They complete a worksheet for assessment.

Students factor trinomials using specific factoring methods. In this algebra instructional activity, students factor equations using the difference of squares and foiling. They play a game to enhance their understanding of factoring.

Learn how to use a matrix to organize data to solve a problem. This activity uses wins and losses to rank players for an air hockey tournament they wish to have. After practicing some basic matrix operations the class could do the...

Pupils explore the concept of Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets. In this Mandelbrot and Julia set instructional activity, students use a function integrator applet to investigate two-variable function iterations. Pupils use Julia set and...

Young scholars practice continuous probability distributions. For this probability lesson, students calculate probability, use probability functions, and use rectangular distribution.

Students will review the meaning of vocabulary relevant to subtracting polynomials such as opposites and the definition of subtract. They will be presented with examples of subtracting polynomials both vertically and horizontally. They...
