This week we reviewed grade 9 polynomials, how to sort by like terms, and using algebra tiles for a visual representation.

Somethings that were new to me were some of the vocabulary we learned. For instance, I didn’t know about the different types of degree. You can classify a polynomial expression based on it’s degree.

constant = degree of 0

linear = degree of 1.

quadric = degree of 2

cubic = degree of 3

quatric = degree of 4

quintic = degree of 5
