Big Ideas:
KEYSTONE ANCHORS:



A2.1.1.1 Represent and/or use imaginary
numbers in equivalent forms (e.g., square
roots and exponents).
A2.1.2.1 Use exponents, roots, and/or
absolute values to represent equivalent
forms or to solve problems.
A2.1.2.2 Simplify expressions involving
polynomials.
ELIBIBLE CONTENT:
 M11.D.2.2.1 Add, subtract and/or
multiply polynomial expressions (express
answers in simplest form – nothing larger
than a binomial X a trinomial).
 M11.D.2.2.1 Express numbers and/or
simplify expressions using scientific
notation (including numbers less than 1).
 M.11.A.1.2.1 Factor algebraic expressions,
including difference of squares and
trinomials (trinomials limited to the form
ax2+bx+c where a is not equal to 0).
 M.111.A.1.2.2 Find the Greatest Common
Factor (GCF) for sets of monomials and/or
factor polynomial expressions using the
greatest common monomial factor.
 M.11.A.1.2.3 Simplify algebraic fractions
 M11.A.2.2.2 Simplify expressions involving
multiplying with exponents, powers of
powers, and powers of products (postive
exponents only).
Understanding Goals (Concepts):
Functions and multiple representations
Algebraic properties and processes
 Express numbers in scientific notation
 Apply the laws of exponents to simplify
expressions
 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide
polynomials
 Factor polynomials using various
factoring techniques, including
 Finding Greatest Common Factor
 Difference of Two Squares
 Sum and Difference of Two Cubes
 Perfect Square Trinomials
 General Trinomials
 Factoring by grouping
Student Objectives (Competencies/Outcomes):
Students will be able to:
 Represent functions (linear and non-linear)
in multiple ways, including tables, algebraic
rules, graphs, and contextual situations
 Make connections among these
representations.
 Choose the appropriate functional
representation to model a real world
situation
 Solve problems relating to that situation.
 Use algebraic properties and processes in
mathematical situations and apply them to
solve real world problems.
Essential Questions:
 How can we show that algebraic properties
and processes are extensions of arithmetic
properties and processes, and how can we
use algebraic properties and processes to
solve problems?
 How do you decide which functional
representation to choose when modeling a
real world situation, and how would you
explain your solution to the problem?
Vocabulary:
 monomial
 constant
 coefficient
 degree
 power
 standard notation
 scientific notation
 Polynomial
 Terms
 like terms
 trinomial
 binomial
 Factor, greatest common factor

Day: A
“Do Now” Divide
polynomials using synthetic
division.
Wednesday
Date: 2/11
Day: B
“Do Now” Divide
polynomials using synthetic
division.
Thursday
Date: 2/12
Day: A
“Do Now” – Get started on
review worksheets as soon
as they arrive to class
“Mini Lesson” Students will
fill in guided notes on the
dividing polynomials using
synthetic division. They will
work on guided practice
problems in their notebooks
then begin independent
practice problems.
“Mini Lesson” Students will
continue to divide
polynomials using both long
division and synthetic
division. They will decide
which of the two to use on
each problem. They will
check HW problems and
begin independent practice
problems on ws pg 253.
