Polynomial Classification

10th Grade60 minutes

Learning Objective

I can classify polynomials by degree and number of terms.

Key Concepts

A term is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables, and polynomials are named based on the number of terms in the expression.

A monomial has one term, a binomial has two terms, and a trinomial has three terms.

To evaluate a polynomial, substitute the given value for the variable and then simplify using the order of operations.
