If you don't use area models (or "polydokus") to teach polynomial division, your life is about to GREATLY IMPROVE! This is one of my favorite lessons to teach and students seem to grasp this method much faster than the long division method.
This resource can be used as an introduction to dividing polynomials using a polydoku. Students start by multiplying using a "box" or "area model". Then expand this process to work it backwards and divide polynomials.
I've also included links to my YouTube walkthrough videos of this process!
