trinomials.

Introduction of Topic

Explain how to identify a trinomial.

Demonstrate the process of breaking down a

second-degree trinomial into binomials.

Show tricks to determining what signs to use

and where, such as determining whether the
signs are the same or different by the
constant and if they are the same, whether
theyre positive or negative by the firstdegree term.
Be sure to clearly write out steps, using
arrows to indicate certain parts of the
polynomials and writing the significant
information concerning those parts. Stop

Teaching Approaches
Tap into experience from
identifying binomials,
pointing out how tri means
three.
Begin by showing that
each binomial will have a
variable, followed by
either addition or
subtraction, followed by a
number. Explain that the
two numbers will add up to
the coefficient of the firstdegree term and their
product will be the
constant.
