Recognising the different types of polynomial expressions from their equations and graphs
To explore linear, quadratic and cubic equations and graphs
A modelling approach involving the multiplication of terms
To use a practical problem involving the multiplication and combination of algebraic terms
Recognising patterns when multiplying brackets
To understand that when each bracket has its terms lined up in descending powers,
multiplying the first terms by the first terms yields the first term in the answer. The same
idea applies to the last terms.
