Multiplying Polynomials

After reviewing the distributive property, students learned how to multiply polynomials. We began with multiplying a monomial by a binomial, then a trinomial and then a quadrinomial. The important thing to remember is to record all answers using standard form (decreasing degree of terms). Once students got the hang of doing this, we began multiplying binomials by binomials, and then trinomials. The FOIL method of multiplying was formally introduced.
