Ninth graders investigate multiplication of binomials and factoring of trinomials.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders compare and contrast expansion and factoring using algebra tiles and a TI-89.

Build upon linear functions to learn about quadratics. The instructional activity introduces the concept of zeros for quadratic functions and makes the connection to the linear factors of the function. It presents quadratics in both...

Gather together as a group for the best results. Pupils watch a video on how to use the distributive property to multiply polynomials. Scholars continue to watch as the presentation shows how to factor trinomials by grouping. Finally,...

Eighth graders consider an alternate method of factoring trinomials as opposed to guess and check. They can evaluate which method is easier and more appropriate for different problems.

Factoring practice of binomials, trinomials, and four-term polynomial expressions is included in this worksheet. Questions are either multiple choice or short answer.   

In this algebra worksheet, young scholars factor out common factors of polynomials. Once the common factors are out, students factor trinomial expressions into the product of two binomials when possible.

In this factoring trinomials worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 36 various types of problems. First, they write each trinomial in factored form. Then, students write all of the factor pairs of the third term and circle the pair...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II activity, students factor by pulling out the greatest common factors and factor trinomials in which the lead coefficient is one.    The one page activity contains thirteen free response...

In this factoring worksheet, students factor algebraic expression in eight multiple choice problems and one free-response problem.  The solutions are provided.

In this algebra activity, learners practice finding the product of two binomials. In each case either the answer represents a difference of squares or a perfect square trinomial. There are 26 problems with an answer key.

In this online math worksheet, students practice factoring trinomials. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching tool!

Learners factor trinomials using patterns and their TI to graph their results and make predictions through this lesson. This is accomplished by solving quadratic equations through FOIL and algebra tiles.

In this online math worksheet, high schoolers factor trinomials which are actually perfect squares. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

In this factoring learning exercise, students factor eighteen quadratic trinomials with leading coefficients not being one.  The solutions are provided.

Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson, students use special patterns and formulas to factor. They utilize algebra tiles as a hands-on method for gaining practice with trinomials.

In this perfect square worksheet, students factor perfect square trinomials and polynomials. They identify trinomials and polynomials that are perfect squares. This one-page worksheet contains 21 problems.

In this factoring trinomials worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 18 different problems that include identifying the product and sum of numbers. First, they factor the GCF from each group of numbers and complete. Then, students...

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....

One block, two blocks, white blocks, gray blocks. In the high school assessment task, learners investigate patterns of sidewalk stones to develop a quadratic expression for each colored block. Young mathematicians then use the expression...

In this perfect squares and factoring worksheet, students solve and complete 26 different problems that include a number of polynomials. First, they determine whether each trinomial is a perfect square trinomial and factor if possible....

In this algebra activity, students simplify monomials, perform basic operations on two polynomials, and factor binomials and trinomials. There are 20 questions and a bonus.

Students are given a set of Old Poly cards and then match polynomials to their factored forms in a game of Old Maid. They complete a worksheet for assessment.

Young scholars classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. In this polynomials lesson, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Put out by Texas Instruments, this lesson involves learners in an activity focused on adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, and expanding binomials. A TI-89 calculator is needed to complete this lesson.
