Polynomials Lesson 6 Dividing with Long and Synthetic Division

The topics included in these notes are the following:
1. Division of Polynomials: each problem is completed using both methods
• Long division – it is suggested teaching long division should be done first, all problems are completed using long division and then to help you save on paper copies, you can use the half sheet to teach synthetic division for the very first time.

• Synthetic division – a half sheet is included to help you teach synthetic division, each student gets a half sheet before solving in the 4 part organizer.

2. Using the Remainder Theorem – 2 examples are used to illustrate the theorem.

This 4 part graphic organizer can be used as a review guide before a test or it could also be used instead of notes; students actually prefer this type of note taking format. I use an interactive notebook, and each graphic organizer can be placed in one page of the notebook.
