This lesson focuses on the essential methods used in algebra for classifying and multiplying polynomials. Students will learn to identify polynomials by degree and number of terms, understand leading coefficients, and write in standard form. They will explore various multiplication techniques, including the distributive property, and apply these methods in problem-solving contexts. Additionally, fun examples and practice problems will reinforce learning and engagement.

Classifying Polynomials Objective: To classify polynomials by degree and by number of terms Example of a Polynomial Degrees Constant Coefficients
Vocabulary Degree:is the exponent for each variable. Degree of the polynomial: is the largest exponent of the polynomial. Leading coefficient:is the coefficient of the first term. Descending order/Standard formis how polynomials are written where the terms are placed in descending order from largest degree to smallest.
Example: Write the polynomials in Standard form/descending order. Then identify the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial. 1. Degree is 7 Leading coefficient is 3 2. Degree is 4 leading coefficient is –2

Classifying polynomials By # of terms Monomial 1 3x Binomial 2 3x + 1 Trinomial 3 Note: Any polynomials with four or more terms are just called polynomials
