Instructional Ideas

• Provide several polynomials for students to rewrite in standard form

Classroom Considerations

• Access to the interactive requires signing up for a free account
• The class should be familiar with the terms, coefficient, and degree

Pros

• Includes hints for some of the problems within the activity
• Provides the correct answer if the wrong answer is selected

Cons

• Question four references leading coefficient when it is more common to use just coefficient for non-leading terms
