NAME OF THE CHAPTER: POLYNOMIAL

Day 1-2: Polynomial in one variable

Concepts Covered:
 To recognize variables and their degree in a given algebraic expression in order to
differentiate whether given expression is a polynomial in one variable or not.
 To identify the degree of a given polynomial in order to classify an expression as zero,
linear, quadratic and cubic
Time Breakdown & Activities:
1. Introduction (5 min) –
 (Teacher makes a friendly talk with the class) Today we are going to learn a new concept.
To begin the class let me ask you a few questions. Are you ready? What is an algebraic
expression?

2. Exploration (15 min) –


WHAT IS A POLYNOMIAL ???
Polynomial comes from poly- (meaning "many") and -nomial (in this case meaning "term") ...
so it says "many terms"

 A polynomial is an expression made with constants, variables and exponents, which are
combined using addition, subtraction and multiplication.
 The coefficients can be real numbers but the exponents are whole numbers.
 A polynomial can not have infinite terms.
x3+3x+1 is an example of a polynomial. It is an algebraic expression as well.
2x+3√x is an algebraic expression, but not a polynomial. – since the exponent on x is 1/2
which is not a whole number.
Degree of a Polynomial
For a polynomial in one variable – the highest exponent on the variable in a polynomial is
the degree of the polynomial.
Example: The degree of the polynomial x2+2x+3 is 2, as the highest power of x in the given
expression is
x2, 6x2, 9xy.

3. Out-of-the-Box Activity (10 min) –


Teacher divides the class into four groups – A, B, C and D. She provides each group with
three boxes and several paper slips containing various terms written on it) (Teacher asks
them to group the like terms in their respective boxes

Teacher checks the three boxes of each group and ensures that the group work has been
done properly.Teacher asks them to take one slip from each box and to make an
expression by combining those terms using addition

4. Reflective Worksheet (15 min)


5. Homework:
Q1: Find the degree of each of the polynomials given below:

a) 7 x 3 + 4 x 2 – 3x + 12

b) 7
c) 0

d) y 3 (1 - y 4 )

Q 2: Which of the following expressions are polynomials in one variable and which are not?
State reasons for your answer.

a) 3 x 2 – 4x + 15

4
b) x -
x
c) 1 - √ 5 x

( x−2 ) (x−4)
d)
x

Day 3-4: Zeroes of a Polynomial


Concepts Covered:
 To substitute the value of 'a' in a given expression p(x) in order to find the value of
polynomial at 'a' i.e. p(a).
 To use given values for the variable 'x' in a polynomial p(x) in order to identify if the
given value is a zero of the polynomials
Time Breakdown & Activities:
1. Introduction (5 min) –
Teacher will tell the students to consider the polynomial p(x) = 5 x 3 – 2 x 2 + 3x – 2 and
ask them to replace x by 1, 0 and -1 one by one everywhere in p(x). What are the
values being obtained?
Experiential learning activity:
In this activity, students will create polynomial functions (of degree 2, 3, 4, and 5) to
match given zeros and points. Students will explore how the factored form of the
equations relates to the zeros and the order of those zeros
2. Exploration (15 min) –
ZEROES OF A POLYNOMIAL :-
 A real number k is a zero of a polynomial f(x), if f(k)= 0.
 For example :
f(x) = x³ - 6x² +11x -6
f(2) = 2³ -6 (2)² +11 ( 2) – 6 = 0 .
 Hence 2 is a zero of f(x).

3. Out-of-the-Box Activity (10 min) –


"Zeroes on the Floor" (students physically stand on the x-axis points that satisfy f(x)=0f(x)
= 0f(x)=0).
4. Worksheet (15 min)
5. Homework:
 Some questions from worksheet
 Ex-2.2 Q-3 – part 1,3,5 : Q4-part 2,4
 Q1. If x = 2 is a root of the polynomial

f(x) = 2 x 2 – 3x + 7a, find the value of a.

Q2: Find the zero (root) of the polynomial g(x) = 2x + 5.

Day 5-6: Remainder Theorem

Concepts Covered: Remainder Theorem, its applications


Activities:

 Exploration: Explain theorem with examples.


 Activity: "Polynomial Division Relay" – Teams solve polynomial divisions and verify
the remainder theorem.
 Worksheet: Practice questions on applying the remainder theorem.
 Homework: Solve remainder theorem-based questions.
Day 7-8 : Factorisation of Polynomials
Concepts Covered:
 To apply factor theorem in order to determine if a linear polynomial 'x-a' is a factor of the
given polynomial p(x).

 To apply factor theorem in order to determine the value of an unknown constant 'k' in
polynomial p(x) when a linear polynomial ‘x-a’ is a known factor of p(x).

 To apply factor theorem in order to factorize a given polynomial.

 To factorize a given polynomial using splitting middle-term method and factor theorem in
order to compare the results of the two.

Time Breakdown & Activities:


1. Introduction (5 min) –
Teachers will ask the learners to recall the long division of two polynomials by providing
the following problem as an independent task.
The teacher would be there to facilitate the problem solving and help resolve queries, if
required.
Question: Let p(x) =
X4 - 3x2 + 2x +5. Find the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x-1).

2. Exploration (15 min) –


Factor Theorem:
Let p(x) be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to 1 and a be a real number such that
p(a)=0, then (x-a) is a factor of p(x). Conversely, if (x-a) is a factor of p(x), then p(a)=0.
Note that,
 (x+a) is a factor of a polynomial p(x) iff p(-a)=0.
 (ax-b) is a factor of a polynomial p(x) iff p(b/a)=0.
 (ax+b) is a factor of a polynomial p(x) iff
p(-b/a)=0.
 (b-ax) is a factor of a polynomial p(x) iff p(b/a)=0.

theorem.
4. Worksheet (15 min)
5. Homework:
 The polynomial p(x) = x4– 2x3 + 3x2 -ax + 3a – 7 when divided by x + 1 leaves the

+ 2.
 Factorise: x4 - 7x3 + 9x2+7x -10.
 Find the value of k if x – 3 is a factor of 2x3 – kx2 + 3kx – k.
 For what value of a is (x – 5) a factor of x3 - 3x2 + ax – 10?

Day 9-12 : Algebraic Identities


Concepts Covered:

expression.
 To select appropriate algebraic identities in order to evaluate the values of given exp
Time Breakdown & Activities:
1. Introduction (5 min) –

2. Exploration (15 min) –


 An identity is a mathematical equation that remains true regardless of the values
assigned to its variables.
 They are useful in simplifying or rearranging algebraic expressions because the two
sides of identity are interchangeable, they can be swapped with one another at any
point.
