Lesson: Synthetic Division Mathematics • 10th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to use synthetic division for dividing polynomials.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand and apply the synthetic division process to rewrite the quotient of two polynomials where the divisor is
- monic and linear,
- nonmonic and linear,
- nonlinear,
use synthetic division to find an equivalent expression in a real-world problem involving the quotient of polynomials,
understand the relationship between two polynomials and their quotient when the remainder term is zero.
