Area Model
When adding two polynomials together, imagine they represent dimensions of a rectangle. (2x + 3)(x + 4)
What is the starting point of a pattern?
The number of objects in figure zero.
What is the difference between linear and non-linear patterns?
Linear patterns grow at a constant rate. If you graph them, they form a straight line. Non-linear patterns do not grow at a constant rate.
Linear
Grows at a constant rate.
Non-Linear
Doesn’t grow at a constant rate.
Factoring
Taking a single expression and rewriting it as the product of 2 or more expressions.
Simplifying Expressions
When you simplify an expression, you combine the like terms.
Evaluating Expressions
When you evaluate an expression, it gives you the value of the unknown number in an equation, so you then add the value into the equation then you solve it.
