Factoring numbers helps prepare scholars for fractions and algebra, so build confidence by drilling this skill and promoting reflection in the process. Scholars start by listing factors for 18 numbers, none of which exceed 30. Next, they...

How many prime numbers are there between 1 and 100? By using a prime time resource, your scholars should be able to answer this question. Using arrays, they determine if numbers are prime or composite, and then write a prime...

These multiples share a few factors, but which one is the greatest? Scholars list the factors for various number pairs, first just indicating common factors. Next, they do the same but write down the greatest common factor. Finally,...

Finding factors is an integral aspect of multiplication. Although there are two examples here, they don't illustrate the process so you will still need to model this a few times for scholars. First, mathematicians list the factors for...

Finding factors requires practice and a logical system, so help scholars develop this skill with these problems. They write out the factor list for 9 two-digit numbers and then circle the factors from a list for four more numbers....

This comprehensive unit investigates transformations of quadratics, having learners follow "Optima" through the development and growth of her quilting business. Deftly weaving the story into the mathematical mechanics, the unit gives...

It doesn't get simpler than this. Scholars first learn to simplify radicals by determining the prime factors of the radicand. The lesson progresses to simplifying radicals involving algebraic expressions in the radicand.

Arrange the dimensions of Marissa's rectangular flower garden so that 12 flowers can be grown. How many factor pairs does the number 12 have? What dimensions are necessary for a square shaped planter?

Is there more to college algebra than this? Even though the eBook is designed for a college algebra course, there are several topics that align to Algebra II or Pre-calculus courses. Topics begin with linear equation and inequalities,...

Challenge mathematicians to show what they know with a worksheet all about factoring. Scholars factor seven given numbers to identify which of the variety of choices does not belong. 

In this algebra worksheet, students solve linear equations using one and two steps. They solve systems of equations using substitution and elimination with graphing. There are links for ready made tests and quizzes.
