 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Throughout this unit students will work to gain a better understanding of polynomials and the concepts involved in solving polynomial expressions. In order to complete this unit students will need to know the definitions of polynomials, leading and constant terms, FOIL method, leading coefficient, polynomial and linear function, and the horizontal and vertical methods. Students will need to know the exponential applications and how their properties alter with addition, subtraction and multiplication. By the end of this unit, the students will understand there are multiple ways to solve a polynomial expression. They will also understand that visual representations can be used to derive polynomial expressions. Furthermore the students will understand that polynomial expressions can be used in real world applications. They will be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of how visual representations are used to solve and express polynomials and their applications. They will be able to illustrate how polynomial expressions can be multiplied by using the horizontal, vertical and FOIL methods. They will also be able to solve addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems that involve polynomials. They will furthermore also be able to compare and choose which of the different methods of solving polynomial expressions best suits them. Then will then be able to relate the visual representations of polynomials to the mathematical solutions. They will finally be able to recognize some practical uses of polynomial functions in the real world. ||
