 The student will be able to multiply a binomial and a trinomial using the FOIL
Method.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
Ⓢ
ALGI.3A Use manipulatives, drawings, verbal descriptions, and symbols to represent unknowns and variables in real-world situations .
Ⓡ
ALGI.4A Find specific function values; add, subtract, multiply, or divide to simplify polynomial expressions; transform and solve equations including factoring as necessary in problem situations which are expressed in verbal, algebraic, or pictorial (algebra tiles)
representations.
Ⓢ
ALGI.11A Use patterns to generate properties of exponents and apply these properties in problemsolving situations when given like numerical or variable bases and integer exponents .
