Strand: ALGEBRA - Arithmetic With Polynomials and Rational Expressions (A.APR)

Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. Focus on polynomial expressions that simplify to forms that are linear or quadratic in a positive integer power of x (Standard A.APR.1).
  • Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
    This collection of resources to teach graphing equations in slope intercept form includes warm-up exercises, a video presentation explaining the topic, practice exercises, worked examples, practice problems, and a review.
  • Adding and Subtracting Polynomials video
    This video introduces and explains the topic.
  • ALGEBRA - Arithmetic With Polynomials and Rational Expressions (A.APR) - Sec Math II Core Guide
    The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for the Secondary Mathematics II - Arithmetic With Polynomials and Rational Expressions (A.APR)
  • Introduction to the Materials (Math 2)
    Introduction to the Materials in the Mathematics Two of the The MVP classroom experience begins by confronting students with an engaging task and then invites them to grapple with solving it. As students ideas emerge, take form, and are shared, the teacher orchestrates the student discussions and explorations towards a focused mathematical goal. As conjectures are made and explored, they evolve into mathematical concepts that the community of learners begins to embrace as effective strategies for analyzing and solving problems.
  • IXL Game: Polynomials: Multiply polynomials
    This game in the algebra domain will help students understand how multiply polynomials. This is just one of many online games that supports the Utah Math core. Note: The IXL site requires subscription for unlimited use.
  • Manipulating Polynomials
    This lesson unit is intended to help educators assess how well students are able to manipulate and calculate with polynomials.
  • Math Task: Proving Patterns
    Math Task Overview: Students will analyze quadratic patterns related to the difference of squares and use patterns with the number line. They will then prove the general rule with a sequence of calculations that model inductive reasoning.
  • Module 3: Solving Quadratics & Other Equations - Student Edition (Math 2)
    The Mathematics Vision Project, Secondary Math Two Module 3, Solving Quadratics & Other Equations. The idea that different quadratic forms are useful in graphing is extended in Module 3, Solving Quadratic and Other Equations, when students use different forms of quadratic equations to find the roots or solve quadratic equations of a single variable.
