Learning 4. Demonstrate an understanding of the multiplication of polynomial expressions (limited to
Outcome(s) monomials, binomials and trinomials), concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
[CN, R, V]
4.1 Model the multiplication of two given binomials, concretely or pictorially, and record the process
symbolically.
Achievement
4.2 Relate the multiplication of two binomial expressions to an area model.
Indicators 4.3 Explain, using examples, the relationship between the multiplication of binomials and the
multiplication of two-digit numbers.
Students will:
