Dividing Polynomials Using Box Method

The video tutorial explains how to divide polynomials using the box method, similar to the area model. It covers two examples in detail, demonstrating the setup of the box, placement of the divisor and dividend, and the step-by-step process of division. The tutorial concludes with the final answers for each example, including any remainders.
