Initial Post Instructions
We start the week by introducing polynomials. We will learn how to identify and simplify polynomials. We will also learn how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) among them. As our knowledge of polynomials grows, we will then move on to factoring trinomials. For your first post, search online for an article or video that describes how polynomials can be used in the real world. Provide a one paragraph summary of the article or video in your own words.
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least one peer in a substantive, content-specific way. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.
