32 Page 3. Day #3 Subtracting Polynomials with Algebra Tiles Concept: Understanding that subtracting a polynomial is simply adding the negation of that polynomial, or the additive inverse. Also, distribution. Objectives: By the end of the day students should be able to find the additive inverse of a polynomial as well as subtract polynomials. Materials: A class set of homemade algebra tiles as well as an overhead set and an overhead projector, bookwork answer key #3, handout #4, handout #4 answer key, and calculator work answer key #. Opening Activity: Show students the take away model for subtracting polynomials with algebra tiles. Practice with this model. Developmental Activity: 1. Introduce the additive inverse and how to find it.. Teach students how to distribute. 3. Subtract polynomials with algebra tiles. Closing Activity: Pose questions to verify student understanding in the form of a relay.

33 Page 33. Day #3 Teacher Notes Opening Activity: Begin with the take away model for subtracting polynomials with algebra tiles. Ask the students to make a model of the polynomial 4x + 4x + 3. Answer: Now ask the students to subtract 3x + x + 1 from the model by taking away three x -tiles, two x-tiles and one unit tile. Answer: The result is the polynomial x + x +.

34 Page 34. Now ask the students to subtract x Answer: + x + 1 from 3x + 4x Model 3x + 4x +. Take away x + x Write the equation of the resulting polynomial: x + 3x + 1. Developmental Activity: Explain to the students that subtracting one polynomial from another is simply adding the additive inverse of one polynomial to the other. Explain that the additive inverse of a polynomial is found by multiplying that polynomial by negative one. Have the students practice finding the additive inverse of each of the following monomials: 1. 3xy Answer: -(3xy) = -3xy. x Answer: -(x ) = -x

35 Page 35. Now ask the students to find the additive inverse of the polynomial 4x + 3x +. To do this we multiply the entire polynomial by negative one and distribute the negative. Distribution of the negative changes the sign of each term in the polynomial, positive to negative and negative to positive. Answer: -1(4x + 3x + ) = -4x + 3x + Ask the students to find the additive inverse of each of the following polynomials on their own: 1. -x + 5x + 4 Answer: x - 5x 4. -x - 3x + 4 Answer: x + 3x 4 Explain to the students that adding a polynomial to its additive inverse yields a result of zero. Examples: -4xy + 4xy = 0 (x + 3) + (-x 3) = 0 Ask the students to subtract the following polynomials: 1. (x + x + 5) (x - 3x + ) Step #1: Find the additive inverse of (x - 3x + ) Answer: -x + 3x Step #: Add the additive inverse to x + x + 5 Answer: (x + x + 5) + (-x + 3x ) = -x + 5x + 3. (3x y + y + 4) (x y y + ) Step #1: Find the additive inverse of (x y y + ) Answer: -x y + y

36 Page 36. Step #: Add the additive inverse to (3x y + y + 4) Answer: (3x y + y + 4) + (-x y + y ) = x y + 3y + Closing Activity: Have the students participate in a relay activity in order to demonstrate their understanding of the material. Separate the students into rows of five, if they are not already in such rows. Cut up one copy of handout #4 per row of students and distribute question #1 to the first student in each row, question # to the second student in each row, etc. Student #1 will solve his/her question and pass that answer on to student #, who will use the answer from student #1 to solve his/her question, and so on. There should be no talking allowed. Upon completion of the last question student #5 should bring the final answer to the teacher for confirmation or denial. If correct the teacher says yes and that row has successfully completed the task. If incorrect the teacher says no and that row must uncover where the mistake was made, at which point they may be permitted to talk it over.

43 Page 43. Day #4 Multiplying with Algebra Tiles Concept: Using the area of a rectangle to represent the product of two polynomials. Also, understanding distribution and commutativity. Objectives: By the end of the day students should understand the concepts of distribution and commutativity and be able to apply these concepts to the multiplication of a monomial and a polynomial. Students should also understand that the product of two polynomials can be represented as the area of a rectangle. Materials: A class set of homemade algebra tiles and one set of overhead tiles, one overhead projector, handout #5 and bookwork answer key #4. Opening Activity: Demonstrate how the product of polynomials can be represented as the area of a rectangle. We begin with a monomial and a binomial. Developmental Activity: Include a discussion on distribution and commutativity, and practice multiplying monomials by binomials. Closing Activity: Play a review game involving the overhead projector and algebra tiles in which the students are split into groups of about 5.

44 Page 44. Day #4 Teacher Notes Opening Activity: Show students how to use the area of a rectangle to represent the product of two polynomials. One polynomial represents the length and the other polynomial represents the width of the rectangle. Demonstrate for the students how to find the product of x and x + 1, using handout #5 as a guide. We want to match the dimensions of length and width to fill in the rectangle with tiles. The tile that goes in the outlined region must have a length of x and a width of x.

45 Page 45. The tile that goes in this outlined region must have a length of x and a width of 1. We add the tiles in the resulting rectangle to get the product of the two polynomials: Answer: x (x + 1) = x + x Now ask the students to find the product of x and (x + 3). Answer: x + 6x

46 Page 46. Developmental Activity: In order to understand the multiplication of a monomial by a polynomial the students must understand distribution and commutativity. Ask the students how they would calculate (x + 1). Answer: x + Explain to the students that this is much like distributing the negative one when we found the additive inverse, only this time we multiplied each term of the polynomial by two instead of negative one. Ask the students to evaluate x(x + ) and (x + )x. Answer: x + x and x + x, respectively. This demonstrates the property of multiplication known as commutativity, which means that it does not make a difference in which order you perform the operation, in this case multiplication. The results will be the same. Ask the students to evaluate the following: a. 4x(5 + x) Answer: 0x + 4x

47 Page 47. b. (6x + 3) 3 Answer: x c. x(7x + 3) Answer: -14x - 6x d. 3(6x + 3) Answer: 18x + 9 Now ask the students if any two of the four above solutions are commutative and to justify their answers. Answer: Yes, b and d are commutative because we are multiplying the same terms, just in a different order, and we obtain the same result. Now have the students practice multiplying monomials and polynomials, using handout #5 as a guide. Remind students that thanks to commutativity it does not matter which polynomial they choose to be the length and which one they choose to be the width. 1. Evaluate 3x(x + ). Answer: 3x + 6x. Evaluate x (x + 3).

48 Page 48. Answer: -x - 3x Closing Activity: Begin by dividing the class into groups of four or five students. Instruct each group to nominate a leader who will be responsible for going up to the overhead projector and carrying out designated tasks. What we will do is introduce a monomial and a polynomial to one group at a time, at which point the group leader will multiply the two together using the overhead tiles. The group leader will only be allowed to carry out the multiplication as suggested by his/her group members. Once the group thinks that they have reached the solution they will present it to the teacher for verification. Once the group has achieved the desired solution we move on to the next group and repeat the process. Groups that get stuck should be allowed to struggle for a bit before they will be permitted to receive assistance first from other classmates and, as a last resort, from the teacher. Sample monomial / polynomial pairs to use include: X (x + 1) Answer: x + x 3x(5 x) Answer: 15x 3x -x(-9 4x) Answer: 18x + 8x

Opening Activity: Demonstrate for the students how to multiply two binomials. Have them follow along with their tiles and handout #5. Developmental Activity: Introduce a word problem to the students and teach them how to go about solving it. Closing Activity: In an effort to pull together the material learned throughout the week, we will conduct a review relay.

53 Page 53. Day #5 Teacher Notes Opening Activity: Explain to the students that two binomials are multiplied much the same way a monomial and a binomial are multiplied; by constructing a rectangle and finding its area. Ask the students to multiply (x + ) and (x + 1). Instruct them to use handout #5 as a guide. Answer: x + 3x + Now ask the students to multiply (x + 3) and (x + 4). Answer: x + 10x + 1

54 Page 54. Developmental Activity: Introduce a word problem to the students and teach them how to go about solving it. Introduce Example # from page 79 of the text, which states: A rectangular garden is five feet longer than twice its width. It has a sidewalk three feet wide on two of its sides. The area of the sidewalk is 13 square feet. Find the dimensions of the garden. *Ask the students to refer to the picture in the text* Instruct the students to go about solving the problem as follows: 1. Let x = the width of the garden. Let x + s = the length of the garden 3. Let x + 3 = the width of the garden and the sidewalk 4. Let x + 8 = length of the garden and the sidewalk 5. Let 13 = the area of the sidewalk (x + 3)(x + 8) x(x + 5) = 13 x + 6x + 8x x - 5x = 13 (count tiles in picture in text) (x - x ) + (6x + 8x 5x) + 4 = 13 9x + 4 = 13 9x = 189 x = 1 Solve the length and width of the garden (#1 and # from above list). We now have: 1 = width of the garden

55 Page 55. x + 5 = (1) + 5 = 47 = the length of the garden Closing Activity: In an effort to link all of the key material learned in the past week we should conduct a review relay. Separate the students into rows of five. Cut up one copy of handout #6 per row and distribute question #1 to the first student in each row, question # to the second student in each row, and so on. Student #1 will solve his/her question and pass that answer on to student #, who will use that answer to answer his/her question, and so on. There should be no talking allowed. Upon completion of the last question, student #5 should bring the final answer to the teacher for confirmation or denial. If correct the teacher says yes and that row has completed the task. If incorrect the teacher says no and the students in that row must find where the mistake was made. This tests the students understanding of all of the important material learned in the past week.
