Objective of the Day

1. Classify algebraic
expressions which are
polynomials according to
degree and number of
terms.
2. Identify polynomials

How does a basketball court painted

using less paint?

How architects were able to maximize the

space of a building and yet was able to
place what the owners want?

How a carpenter was able to create a utility

box using minimal materials?

How some students were able to multiply

expressions in a least number of time?

Observe the
following pictures

KQ: How does polynomials relate

to algebraic expressions and vice
versa?

All polynomials are

algebraic expressions but
not all algebraic
expressions are
polynomials.

Pre-Test
Statement
1. Some polynomials are algebraic
expressions.
2. The degree of
5x-4 2x3 x2 + 10x 2x4 + 3x2 x
+ 1 is 4.
3. The expression
5x-4 2x3 x2 + 10x 2 is a
polynomial.
4. A polynomial can be a monomial,
binomial, or a trinomial.

True or
False

Instructions
Study the exploration about
algebra tiles on p.2.
Practice making the tiles with
the given algebraic
expressions.
Prepare for the clash of tiles

Clash of tiles
Pair students.
Partners facing each other, one is
facing his back at the projector.
The person facing the projector will be
the one dictating what tiles/algebraic
expression to write. Hands at the
back please.
After 30 seconds answer sheets
should be raised. Bell will be rang.

Let the clash begin

Make the algebra

tiles
a. -2x2 - 3
b.-4x2 + 2x - 3

Make the algebraic

expressions

Definition
A POLYNOMIAL is an
algebraic expression that
represents a sum of one or
more terms containing
whole number
exponents on the
variables.

Answer try it p.4

The degree of monomial in

one variable is the number
of times the variable
occurs as a factor in the
monomial.
For example:
-5ab3c2 is of degree
1 in a, 3 in b, and 2 in c

The degree of a monomial

the total number of times
its variables occur as
factors.
For example:
-5ab3c2 is 1+3+2 or 6.
Note: The degree of any
nonzero constant monomial
is 0.

The degree of a
polynomial is the greatest
of the degrees of its
terms.

For example
The degree of
a2b + a2b3 ab is 5.
