This week we worked with polynomials and expanding them. There are different methods you can use when multiplying binomials such as using the claw, area models and illustrating algebra tile diagrams. At first, I enjoyed using Algebra tile diagrams but now, I find the claw strategy much more efficient.
Ex. (x+6)(x+2)
1.x⋅x=
2. x⋅2=2x and x⋅6= 6x this equals 8x
3. 6⋅2=12
Then, you add everything together.
