Polynomials practice
Name ten collected polynomials by both their term-count type and total degree. Choose any nonempty mix of one through six terms, then use a separate worked key to compare every term degree.

Count the collected nonzero terms to name the type. Add the exponents in each term, then use the greatest term degree as the polynomial degree.
Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.
Customize this worksheetCount the collected nonzero terms for the type. Add the exponents within each term and use the greatest sum for the degree.
The student page keeps Type and Degree on separate labeled lines. The key shows every term degree before selecting the maximum.
Learning objective
Classify each polynomial by its number of nonzero terms and greatest total term degree.
Worked example
Trinomial; degree 5.
There are three nonzero terms. Their total degrees are 5, 2 and 0, so the greatest degree is 5.
