Formative Assessment

Zeros of a Cubic:

Students are asked to identify the zeros of cubic polynomials, without the use of technology, and then describe what the zeros indicate about the graph.

Type: Formative Assessment

Lesson Plan

Manipulating Polynomials:

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to manipulate and calculate with polynomials. In particular, it aims to identify and help students who have difficulties in switching between visual and algebraic representations of polynomial expressions, performing arithmetic operations on algebraic representations of polynomials, factorizing and expanding appropriately when it helps to make the operations easier.
