5. In groups, design hands on activities for introducing the concept
of mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division of polynomial functions. Ask
students to perform Activity 5.5 in the Student’s Book, which
FOR ONLINE READING ONLY
highlights some operations on polynomials. Advise them to
present the group responses.
6. Assist students when they face challenges, and clear their
doubts and misconceptions through Examples 5.24 to 5.27
in the Student’s Book which illustrate the mathematical
operations of addition and subtraction.

7. Design group activities which engage students in discussing
Example 5.28 in the Student’s Book. Explore more examples
on multiplication of polynomials using other resources as
suggested.
8. Design an activity which you think will introduce students
to the concept of division of polynomials by considering two
methods, namely the long division method and the synthetic
division method.
9. Use Examples 5.29, 5.30, and 5.31 in the Student’s Book to
assist students in discussing various problems involving the
long division and synthetic division method for polynomials.

10. Require students to attempt Exercise 5.4 in the Student’s Book.
Advise students to submit their work, check the correctness of
their answers, and provide them constructive feedback.
