Understanding adding and subtracting polynomials.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.3Extend the knowledge of arithmetic operations and apply to polynomials.

It is important to understand polynomials and to be able to classify them based on the number of terms, as well as recognize the coefficients, and degrees. You must also understand how to perform mathematical operations on them. This seminar will focus on combining polynomials using addition and subtraction. It will be important to understand the rules to make sure you are combining only like terms. You will apply techniques you have learned involving exponents and general addition and subtraction rules. You will use the techniques learned in this seminar to verify solutions to various other types of polynomial problems as you move forward. When adding and subtracting polynomials, you will first identify the like terms to combine polynomials to their simplest form.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.3Extend the knowledge of arithmetic operations and apply to polynomials.

In this seminar you will learn how to complete multiple step equations. You will apply techniques you have learned about inverse operations to solve for a missing variable. You will use the techniques learned in this seminar to verify solutions to various other types of problems as you move forward. When solving multiple step equations, you will identify which operation to address first, which second, and so on, until you have the variable all alone and a solution for it. The best part? You can always substitute your answer into the original problem to make sure your answer is correct.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.8Apply inverse operations to solve equations or formulas for a given variable.

In the world of mathematics you can always count on encountering problems involving multiplication. With polynomials, things are no different. It is imperative to look at various types of multiplication problems since there are many different polynomials such as: monomials, binomials, trinomials, and more. This seminar covers the various forms of multiplication with these different types of polynomials.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.3Extend the knowledge of arithmetic operations and apply to polynomials.

In this seminar you will learn how to solve single step equations. You will apply techniques you have learned regarding addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. You will use the techniques learned in this seminar to verify solutions to various other types of problems as you move forward and solve for missing variables. When solving single step equations, you will use inverse operations to find missing variables and then use substitution to check each problem to verify that your answer is correct.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.8Apply inverse operations to solve equations or formulas for a given variable.

Students use a simple seesaw to visualize solving a two- or three-step mathematics equation, while solving a basic structural engineering weight balance problem in the process. They solve two-step equations on a worksheet and attempt to solve the challenge of "balancing a beam" through hands-on problems. The use of sensor equipment for correct position monitoring aids students in balancing the structure, as well as balancing the equation as they solve it on paper.

In this seminar you will learn how to solve problems where variables are on each side of the equation. You will apply techniques you have learned to this point involving inverse operations. You will use the techniques learned in this seminar to verify solutions to various other types of problems as you move forward, primarily when solving for any unknown variable. When solving equations with a variable on each side, you will first want to isolate the variable to one side and then use inverse operations to solve for it.  StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.8Apply inverse operations to solve equations or formulas for a given variable.
