Polynomial Multiplication Worksheet Generator

The generator builds binomial-product problems and expands them in the answer key, ready for FOIL practice. Easy uses (x + a)(x + b); medium puts a non-1 coefficient on each binomial; hard is the perfect-square shortcut (ax + b)².

Frequently asked questions

What is FOIL?

First, Outer, Inner, Last — the mnemonic for multiplying two binomials. It is a special case of the distributive property.

Why include perfect squares on hard?

(ax + b)² has the memorable form a²x² + 2abx + b² — a useful pattern to recognise quickly. The hard worksheet drills it directly.

Are negative coefficients used?

Yes. The b and d coefficients on every difficulty range over both signs so students see all four sign combinations.
