Exponents and Polynomials
The ideas of exponents and polynomials are the basis of algebra and allow students to make equations simpler to work with. It forms a good basis for math functions and sets students up for more advanced algebra, calculus and science. Interpreting exponential rules and shaping polynomials improves mental calculation.
In exponents, there are laws that explain how terms are combined.
Pupils in algebra learn how exponents work when adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing terms. With the help of these laws, it is possible to work with and resolve equations that have powers. If you know how exponents behave, you can deal with both small and large numbers in scientific situations with ease.

Binomials
Students investigate binomials and learn how to add, subtract and multiply them. They figure out how to apply the FOIL method to grow binomial expressions. Mastering binomials helps you factorise and solve equations with polynomials.
