These four problems will guide your class through the idea behind the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that a polynomial of degree n has exactly n roots. Use the division algorithm and the definition of a zero/root of a...

A 27-page packet full of math games and activities builds on algebra, measurement, geometry, fractional, and graphing skills. Young mathematicians participate in math games collaboratively, promoting teamwork and skills practice.

Your algebra learners interpret algebraic expressions, in order to compare their structures, using a geometric context. They also discern how the two expressions are equivalent and represent a pattern geometrically and algebraically.

Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...

Challenge algebra learners to use the difference of cubes to solve this problem. Once your charges have taken out the factor (a - b), combined the like terms and set them equal to zero, the problem becomes a factorable quadratic...

From Pythagorean triples to the unit circle. Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to find Pythagorean triples and then relate their work to the unit circle in a fun algebra project. Their discovery that x^2+y^2 is always equal to one on...

This lesson provides basic instruction on the major concepts in algebra. Content includes a focus on fractions, units of conversion, complex numbers, quadratic equations, factorization and roots of polynomials, solving equations, systems...

This S.O.S. tutorial gives students a basic review of factoring integers. Follow the tutorial to refresh your skills involving the rules for factoring numbers. Contains practice problems with links to the answers.

In this lesson, special cases of factoring are described, including perfect squares, difference of squares, and difference and sum of cubes. Exercises with answers included.

These randomly generated polynomials allow you practice factoring. Some of the polynomials contain leading coefficients that are negative. Hints are available when needed and, when ready, you can check your answer.

This interactive site allows you to enter a quadratic expression and work through the steps of factoring. Hints and the answer are available to help with the process.

Learners examine the fundamental theorem of algebra. The resource investigates the linear factorization theorem, Descartes's rule of signs, and rules for zeros.

Use this algebra lesson to learn how to factor the sum of two squares.

An interactive solver allows you to factor quadratic polynomials. The solver provides hints to help you factor before seeing the answer. Note: These quadratics have a leading coefficient of 1.

College professor Dan Bach offers a review of various basic topics in arithmetic, pre-algebra, and algebra. Order of operations, exponents, square roots, variables, and combining terms are just a few of the many topics covered.

Purplemath contains about 40 different lessons on various algebra topics. The lessons are divided into five different sections: preliminary topics, beginning algebra, intermediate algebra, advanced algebra, and word problems. The lessons...

Several types of factoring are covered in this article, including common factors, grouping, special factors, and completing the square. The examples include detailed explanations of the factoring process.

This site discusses factoring of polynomials, giving a general definition, and many links to satisfy unfamiliar terminology. There are however very few examples.

In Spanish. Clear step by step directions, explanations and example problems of quadratic equations. Explains factorization, the quadratic formula, and completing the square.

This Algebra Cruncher generates an endless number of practice problems for factoring the sum of two squares. Each problem has hints and solutions.

This site uses pictures to discuss dimension and base. The algebraic naming of measurements is included as well as factoring polynomial numbers.

An algebra "cheat sheet" to use as a reference when completing algebra homework. Lists basic facts, properties, operations, formulas, and functions, as well as common errors.

A detailed description of how to factor several types of polynomials is presented. Examples are provided to demonstrate the process.

Students input a number to be factored and the WyzAnt calculator does the rest. Limitations include the fact that numbers which are negative or which contain primes bigger than 541 cannot be handled.
