Lesson 2: Polynomials. Simplifying algebraic expressions

Here is a PDF version of the lesson.

Here is a PDF version of the workbook containing lots of practice.

In this lesson you will learn about different types of algebraic expressions: monomials, binomials, trinomials and polynomials. You will see how two monomials could be multiplied or added/subtracted (if they are like terms)

This lesson also explains how algebraic expressions with brackets can be simplified by distributing a monomial in front of the bracket by every term inside the bracket, followed by collecting like terms (monomials that only differ from each other by their coefficient).
