TitleEarly algebra ideas about binomial expansion, Stephanie's interview one of seven, Clip 5 of 9: Beginning to make sense of (x + y)(x + y)

DescriptionIn the fifth clip in a series of nine from the first of seven interviews focusing on Early Algebraic Ideas about the binomial expansion researcher Carolyn Maher asks Stephanie to multiply (x + y)(x + y). Stephanie conjectures that this would be x "squared" plus y "squared", symbolically represented by the exponent 2 above x and above y, only to disprove her conjecture by substituting numbers.
Stephanie then concludes that, since a(x + y) = ax + ay, (x + y)(x + y) could also be represented as
x(x + y) + y(x + y).
The problem as presented to Stephanie:
What about (x + y)(x + y) ? What would that be?
