Grade 9 math - polynomial introduction

I'll go over the basics of polynomials, definining what the variable and coefficient are of a term, and determining the degree of polynomial. I'll also cover the convention for what order terms are written in a polynomial. I'll also do examples of simplifying polynomials by gathering like terms.

Time permitting I'll answer any other polynomial questions you may have. Normally I'm open to answering any questions, but polynomials is an major topic of grade 9 math and will continue to be important through all following grades of math, so I'll focus on just polynomials for this session.
