FOILing Polynomials
Students received their graded concept 13 tests today. Scores were a bit lower than I would have expected. Uh oh.
We learned how to multiply using the double distributive property using double digit numbers like 25 and 17. Then we applied this method to multiplying binomials, like ( a + 7 ) ( a - 3 ). We discovered that there are four parts, or steps, to complete this type of task. We called them the FOIL steps: first, outer,inner, and last. Many thought this was fairly easy.
