LIKE TERMS --------> Have the same variable AND exponent!
To "simplifying" polynomials, is to group "like" terms
Degree of a polynomial

Look at this example of addition of polynomials. This is the "horizontal" method. Notice how the brackets are eliminated,, followed by the pairing of like terms.
The vertical method:
Here are the steps mentioned in the notes:
Look at the following example:
Look at the following examples of the addition of polynomials using algebra tiles, and pay attention to the making of "zero pairs":
Here is an example I put together using the algebra tiles in the classroom:
