Integrated Math III · Week 8 · Polynomial, Rational, and Radical Relationships
Polynomial Personalities
Structure in polynomial expressions; the parts that make up a whole person.
- Students will
- Students add, subtract, and multiply polynomials and use structure to rewrite a perfect square trinomial.
- SEL skill
- Name a personal strength and describe how it works like a part of a polynomial
- What it looks like
- Students recognize that, like polynomials, people are made of many parts that add up to a whole.
- Content focus
- Polynomial operations and structure
- Format
- Think write pair share
