Dividing polynomials

This lesson introduces students to the concept of dividing polynomials through hands-on practice with polynomial long division and synthetic division methods. By exploring these methods, students will gain a fundamental understanding of the Remainder Theorem and its applications, equipping them with the tools necessary to determine when one polynomial is a factor of another. Discussion and practice will enhance procedural fluency while encouraging deeper connections between algebraic concepts and real-world applications.
