Division of Polynomials
 Lesson Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

1. identify the dividend, divisor, and quotient in the division of polynomials,

2. divide polynomials such as; polynomial by a monomial and by a
polynomial with more than one term,
3. summarize the concept learned about dividing polynomials,
4. show active and appropriate engagement during the discussion and
activities,
5. perform division of polynomials using the long division and synthetic
division.
Monomial
-is an expression in algebra
that contains one term, like
3xy.
