This document contains instructions and examples for students to work on at different polynomial stations. It begins with an objective and do now questions. It then provides examples of adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials at various stations. Another station focuses on factoring polynomials. The document concludes by providing links for students to use to study and prepare for homework.
