The document outlines a lesson plan for teaching students how to add and subtract polynomials. The lesson will begin with reviewing homework on dividing polynomials by monomials. Students will then learn about like terms and how to combine them when adding or subtracting polynomials. This will include examples of distributing negatives before combining terms. The concepts will help students understand how to multiply binomials using FOIL in the next class. Students will practice adding and subtracting polynomials using algebra tiles and an online battleship game. Their scratch work from the game must be turned in for a grade.

Tuesday, March 3, 2015 Algebra I Standards: A.2 The student will perform operations on polynomials, including a) applying the laws of exponents to perform operations on expressions; b) adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing polynomials Objectives: Introduce the idea of adding and subtracting polynomials. Review the distribution of a negative. Students will understand the laws of exponents as they pertain to addition and subtraction. Students will be able to calculate the perimeter given shapes and their side lengths in terms of polynomials. Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to revisit the idea of like terms and learn how we deal with them when adding and subtracting polynomials. The concepts from this lesson will be important to students understanding and success when multiplying binomials using FOIL next class. Lesson Timeline:
Review and check last nights homework (Dividing a polynomial by a
monomial WS, odds) (20 minutes) o Answer any questions students have and have students attempt a couple even problems and do those as a class Adding & Subtracting Polynomials Flipchart: (40 minutes) o Through ActivInspire the flipchart will be projected onto the Promethean Board. o Start with the definition of like terms same exact variables raised to identical powers

Review
Several examples, start basic, then incorporate distributing a
negative before combining the like terms. Demonstrate how adding and subtracting polynomials can be used in calculating perimeter (10 minutes) Be sure to review perimeter formula, talk about it in context.
as they pertain to adding (N for nothing)
Model the addition and subtraction of polynomials using algebra
tiles (10 minutes) Students will go from algebra tiles to a polynomial expression and vice versa Adding & Subtracting Polynomials Battleship Game: (25 minutes) o http://www.quia.com/ba/28820.html o Project the game on the Promethean Board and go over the basics of how to play it and different situations that may occur while students are getting out their laptops and navigating to the games website o Students are expected to be doing scratch work and make it through at least six problems in the game o The scratch work MUST be turned in at the end of class and the thoroughness and effort into the work will determine the students daily classwork grade Hand out tonights homework: Adding & Subtracting Polynomials WS, odd problems only
