College Prep Algebra, Polynomials

More than just a worksheet, this guide provides the description of many of the polynomials theorems to assist the learners. Starting with synthetic division, class members are then guided through the remainder theorem and linear factors. 

Some polynomials, when multiplied, result in a special product. Sal uses the distributive property to demonstrate the multiplication process. He then explains why some polynomials cannot be completely simplified.

Everyone can be shortcut-savvy with this video, which features Sal multiplying "a ton of polynomials" in clear, easily understandable terms. Those who have a hard time applying old concepts to new equations will rest assured with the...

Without ever relying on the FOIL trick, this presentation carefully walks young algebrists through multiplying binomials by a monomial and by each other. Examples start easy, but move into complicated pairings of coefficients, positives...

Where many multiplying binomial lessons introduce the tool of FOIL and move on, this video presentation really delves into the how's and why's of the distributive property. Careful treatment of distribution and explicitly written out...

Take your class through the mechanics of simplifying algebraic fractions by factoring trinomials. Though the steps for factoring are assumed known, the process of identifying and canceling common factors are detailed with care and...

This overview of polynomial operations does a solid job of summarizing how a mathematician attacks adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials. With particular emphasis on combining like terms and when exponents do and do not...

A brief presentation with laser-like focus, this video talks young mathematicians through the mechanics of simplifying algebraic fractions by factoring trinomials. While the factoring itself is assumed to be a mastered skill, the steps...

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...

This real-world word problem seems pretty complicated, but it's really not. It only takes four steps once you have an original expression to solve this problem. There are some negative numbers involved in this inequality. So don't forget...
