Today Ben and I started by reviewing the vocab that we learned yesterday. Then we discussed what it means for a polynomial to be in standard form, the degree/power must be highest first, then decrease from there. I gave Ben polynomial expressions and asked him if they were in standard form. If they were not, I asked him to tell me how to rewrite them so that they are in standard form. After that, we practiced classifying them. I wrote all of the classification types on the board so he could refer to them. I told him eventually, he will need to have them memorized. For more practice, I wrote problems on the board, had Ben change them into standard form, then classify them by degree and number of terms. He did well with this lesson.
