Multiplying Polynomials "Find the Polynomial of Each Animal" Group Activity

This is an engaging and fun group activity (maximum of 5 members) on multiplying polynomials. The first page/slide is a table as the first column of it are given polynomials from A to G, the first row are given polynomials from H to L (the cell 11 is empty). There is a picture of an animal in each of the other cells. Students have to find the polynomial of each animal finding each of the products AH, BH,…AJ, BJ…,etc. Each member of the group have to find the polynomials of 7 animals (the teacher can chose which to be the animals). I have included one page/slide sample and another page where the teacher to chose the tasks of each member of the group. There is else one page/slide with questions to the group like how many animals have polynomials of third degree and which of the animals have sixth degree polynomials. There are provided empty boxes where students to record their answers.

This activity can be also used as independent practice along with homework (the students can find the polynomials of some of the animals and the rest of the problems can be done as homework).

Answer keys are included.

NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here. I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has two or three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!
