Expressions and Operations
Virginia SOL A.EO.2
Perform operations on and factor polynomial expressions in one variable.
What students need to be able to do
- Determine sums and differences of polynomial expressions in one variable using strategies like concrete objects, pictorial models, and symbolic models.
- Determine the product of polynomial expressions in one variable using the distributive property, area models, and concrete/pictorial/symbolic strategies.
- Factor completely first- and second-degree polynomials in one variable with integral coefficients, including factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF).
- Determine the quotient of polynomials using a monomial, binomial, or completely factored divisor.
- Represent and demonstrate equality of quadratic expressions in different forms (concrete, verbal, symbolic, graphical).
