As we discussed in class, an acronym is an abbreviation of sorts. We use the acronym FOIL to help remember to distribute all the terms when multiplying binomials.

For more on acronyms visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym_and_initialism.

Due Friday: Create an acronym for a algebraic or number property you learned this year. Post early as no two properties can be repeated, unless you can come up with a different acronym.

If you would like to be really creative, incorporate a mnemonic device with your acronym. (such as we use for PEMDAS, Please educate my dear aunt Sally!)

Good luck and have fun. Please feel free to respectfully comment on your classmates' entries.(Remember your netiquette).
