Exploring the Area Model for Multiplying Binomials

An expression with two different terms

A polynomial of degree two

An equation with two solutions

A function with two variables

Identify like terms

Write the binomials on the sides of the box

Multiply the terms in the boxes

Draw a box and divide it into four equal parts

On the right side of the box

Along the bottom of the box

Along the top of the box

On the left side of the box

Ignore them

Multiply them together

Combine them to simplify the expression

Place them in separate boxes

Draw another box

Multiply corresponding terms in each box

Combine like terms immediately

List all possible products

Random order

From the lowest to the highest exponent

From the highest to the lowest exponent

Alphabetically

Terms that have the same variable and exponent

Terms that are in the same box

Terms that have different coefficients

Terms that are on the same side of the box

Terms with the lowest exponents

Terms with the lowest coefficients

Terms with the highest exponents

Terms with no variables

They do not affect the multiplication

They convert all terms to positive

They must be included as negative when multiplying

They cancel out all other terms

A monomial

A binomial

A trinomial

None of the above
