Two lessons for the price of one! Learners use algebra tiles to multiply binomials in the first instructional activity, Next, they use their knowledge from the first instructional activity to factor trinomials into two binomials.

Create rectangles from the terms of a trinomial. The interactive provides virtual algebra tiles for participants to use to create quadratic trinomials. Pupils use the tiles and arrange them into a rectangle to find the factors of the...

Factor in this resource when teaching how to factor polynomials. Scholars use algebra tiles to factor linear and quadratic expressions. They practice their skill by working on example problems from a worksheet.

Young mathematicians discover trees organize more than just families — they help factor, too. The lesson begins with factor trees and develops slowly to factoring by grouping and special patterns. 

Help! The leading coefficient is not one. Learners view a video showing a technique to factor trinomials when the leading coefficient is not one. Pupils try a few examples including solving equations by factoring and check their answers...

Factor in different strategies in a lesson for factoring quadratics. Young mathematicians first create tables and area models to factor quadratic trinomials into two binomials by guess and check. Learners then investigate how they can...

Perfect the method for factoring. Learners view a video that shows shortcuts to grouping when presented with a difference of squares or when the leading coefficient is one. Pupils learn that factoring by grouping is helpful when working...

It all depends upon the terms. Pupils use the interactive table to sort polynomials. The scholars determine the names for the types of polynomials based on the number of terms.

Find all the Algebra 1 content in one location. A helpful eBook contains the content typically found in an Algebra 1 course. Concepts range from solving and graphing linear equations to solving and graphing quadratic equations....

Relate factors to zeros and x-intercepts. Scholars first graph quadratics in both standard and factored forms to see that they are the same. They go on to use the graphs to see the relationship between factors and x-intercepts.

Find that slope! This video does an excellent job of demonstrating how to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line using two points. The instructor first reviews the definition of slope of a line, then works three problems using...

This resource has everything you need to know about solving quadratic equations. Factoring, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and using the discriminant are all there with with worked out examples and a 25 problem...

Make two parts into a whole. Scholars learn to multiply polynomials to create a simplified polynomial expression. Polynomials include monomial, binomials, and trinomials.
