- 23. Algebra Cruncher Problems Follow this link to try a couple on your own at Cool Math. Notice when you select the “Give me a Problem” button to try new problems, 2 rows are generated. Look carefully between them. That red line indicates this problem is a fraction. Do your work in a notebook before entering your answer. When you select “What’s the Answer?” compare your answer with the given answer. Keep selecting new problems until you get 3 consecutive problems correct.

- 30. It’s Practice time... Go to the Regents Prep website to practice dividing a polynomial by a monomial. Only practice questions 1 through 7! Message or Pronto me if you have questions.
- 31. Shall we Play a GAME? Check your knowledge on Dividing Polynomials by playing Jeopardy. Ok, technically it’s called Challenge Board but it’s the same idea! There are 4 categories: horseshoes, handgrenades, doesn’t count, and polynomial long division. Polynomial long division is not covered in Algebra 1 so either stay away from this topic or challenge yourself! You have the option to play alone or against a friend or family member. You could even arrange a time with a classmate to meet on Pronto to play. Try the App Share feature to see the same game board!
