Lessonplan 3

This lesson plan teaches students how to simplify polynomials through addition, subtraction, and multiplication. It includes watching a video on like terms, the instructor demonstrating examples of operations on polynomials, and students practicing by doing a scavenger hunt of polynomial problems around the classroom. The goal is for students to learn how to simplify polynomials using the distributive property and FOIL method in preparation for using these skills in their College Algebra course.

Lesson # 3: Operations on Polynomials

Performance Objective:

Performance Objective #6: Given a calculator, students will simplify polynomials using

the distributive rule or FOIL and combining like terms correctly in 2 out of 3 questions

on a quiz.

Resources or Materials Needed:

Computer, projector, and Elmo

Simplifying Polynomials Scavenger Hunt (Exit Ticket)

(See instructional material page for all activities)

Time: 75 minutes

Step 1: Pre-Instructional Activities:

Play YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKC74YKJpNY&t=280s from 2:43 to

4:38. After video, have students write a mathematical definition of Like Terms, then discuss the

definitions as a class.

Step 2: Content Presentation:

Instructor goes over the following examples of adding and subtracting polynomials:

1. (5𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 − 7) + (−3𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 − 8)

2. (−2𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 + 12) + (7𝑥 − 15)

3. (9𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 10) − (−𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 4)

4. (8𝑥 − 7) − (2𝑥 − 9) + (10𝑥 + 15)

Define the distribute property and FOIL method.

Instructor goes over the following examples of multiplying polynomials:

1. (3𝑥)(6𝑥 − 10)
2. (−𝑥 5 )(5𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 9)

3. (4𝑥 + 9)(2𝑥 − 1)

4. (5𝑥 2 − 2)(−𝑥 2 + 8)

5. (2𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 2)

Step 3: Learner Participation:

Simplifying Polynomials Scavenger Hunt – Problems will be placed around the room with QR

Codes answers. Students will be paired and can start with any problem around the room and

work each problem to find the next until they have completed all problems.

Step 4: Assessment:

Complete online quiz though homework software outside of class, quiz will contain problems

similar to the lecture. (See assessment page)

Step 5: Follow-Through Activities:

During the College Algebra course students will use the knowledge of simplifying polynomials

to solve expand and compress logarithmic expressions.

Lesson Plan Summary:

This lesson will focus on operations with polynomials including addition, subtraction,

and multiplying. The lesson will start off with students watching a portion of a YouTube video

that discuss like terms and as a class will define like terms in their own words. After that the

instructor will lead a lecture going over several examples of operations on polynomials. Finally,

students will work example problems by doing the polynomial scavenger hunt.
