PRODUCT SUMMARY
When you are diving into algebra, it is a good idea to know how to recognize and work with polynomials. Join our hosts as they introduce students to the vocabulary associated with polynomials and demonstrate how to write and simplify polynomial expressions. Using real-world scenarios, see how they find the zeroes of a polynomial by factoring and using handy technology such as the graphing calculator. It's everything from FOIL to quadratic trinomials to splitting the middle term and more in this lively, math-packed program designed to help students expand their understanding of algebra. Part of the multivolume Algebra for Students VHS Series. A teacher's guide is included and available online.

"Beginning algebra students are often overwhelmed by the number of new concepts that must be grasped in order to understand this complex branch of mathematics. Algebra for Students is a 10-volume series that attempts to illustrate how algebra works by translating symbols, vocabulary, and algebraic expressions into easy-to-understand real-life scenarios. In Analyzing Inequalities, two engaging hosts use the hypothetical situation of buying concert tickets (with those annoying service charges) to generate algebra problems related to inequalities (“more than,” “less than,” “in between,” etc.). Each equation or graph is explained in detail with clear illustrations and animated graphics, while common mistakes are also covered. Other titles in the series include: Exponential Functions, Functions & Relations, Linear Equations & Slope, Patterns & Formulas, Polynomials, The Pythagorean Theorem & Right Triangles, Quadratic Functions, Systems of Linear Equations, and Variables, Expressions & Equations. Highly recommended.
