OBJECTIVES
Prior to the activity, create cards with different
terms written on them, such as 3x, 67x³, or 38.
Make sure students understand what a
polynomial is. A polynomial function is a function
whose rule is given by a polynomial in one
variable. The degree of a polynomial function is
the largest power of x that appears. The zero
polynomial function is not assigned a degree.

in standard form and examples of mathematical

Polynomial functions are among the simplest
expressions in algebra. They are easy to evaluate:
only addition and repeated multiplication are
required. Because of this, they are often used to
approximate other, more complicated functions.
In this class, students investigate properties of
this important class of functions and solve some
exercises by themselves. Then discuss with their
classmates.

polynomial. For example, if a student rolled a 3
and 2, they could write polynomials such as: x³ +
34 (2 terms, 3rd degree polynomial) or x² - 23x - 5
(3 terms, 2nd degree polynomial).
Partners should check each other's work to make
sure it meets the criteria for a polynomial.
In this activity, students will examine several
power and polynomial functions to determine
their similarities and differences and
characteristics using transformations.
