1. Multiplying Binomials Honors Math – Grade 8

2. Multiply a Polynomial by a Monomial Find Use the Distributive Property. Be sure to distribute to all terms Multiply

3. Simplify Use the Distributive Property Multiply Simplify Group like terms Arrange in descending order

4. Get Ready for the Lesson Before multiplying polynomials, take a look at 2-digit multipliers: First multiply onesThen multiply tensAdd the products Let’s apply this to multiplying two binomials. This is using the Distributive Property twice.

5. Method 1 – The “Box” Method Step 1. Make a grid. One square for each term. Then write the terms. Step 2. Multiply Step 3. Add like terms on the diagonal. Step 4. Write the product. Look in the squares.
