Multiplying Polynomials by Polynomials
Students will multiply binomials by binomials and trinomials using the distributive property.
Key Questions
- Construct a geometric model to represent the product of two binomials.
- Compare the FOIL method with the general distributive property for multiplying binomials.
- Justify why each term in the first polynomial must be multiplied by each term in the second.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
