Finding the product of two or more polynomials is called expanding a polynomial.

Topics Covered:

• expanding polynomials using algebra tiles
• monomials × monomials
• monomials × binomials
• binomials × binomials (and FOIL)
• multiplication with trinomials
• problem solving with polynomials. (finding the area of a shaded region, making a box from a sheet with removed corners, area of a picture within a matted frame.)
