In this factoring worksheet, students factor twelve expressions by grouping.  Students factor fourteen sums and differences of cubes problems and eight synthetic substitution problems.

This worksheet and tutorial explores solving more complex polynomials by graphing each side separately and finding the point of intersection, identifying the sum and differences of cubes, and solving higher degree polynomials by using...

Investigate polynomial factoring patterns by finding a connection to volume. As learners build a three-dimensional solid from smaller solids, they convert the visual model to a mathematical expression. Their models represent the sum of...

Uncover the relationship between factoring quadratics and higher degree polynomials. Learners develop their factoring skills through repetition. A comprehensive lesson begins with quadratics and shows how to use the same patterns to...

Patterns in math emerge from seemingly random places. Learners explore the patterns for factoring the sum and differences of perfect roots. Analyzing these patterns helps young mathematicians develop the polynomial identities.

Patterns, patterns, everywhere! Young scholars examine the multiplication table to identify patterns. Their exploration leads to an understanding of the difference of squares and sum of cubes by the completion of the algebra project.

Young scholars explore the concept of factoring polynomials.  For this factoring polynomials worksheet, students factor using a GCF, by grouping, a difference of two squares, two cubes, etc. 

Students create a set of cards that represent factors of four and use these cards to play a game in which they practice separating numbers into fourths. They first practice separating numbers into fourths with a projected computer...

Sixth graders explore how to apply the commutative property and the rules of divisibility. They examine the difference between prime and composite numbers.

Fifth graders use prime factorization to identify prime and composite numbers. They use cubes to find factors. In groups, 5th graders draw rectangular arrays to discover prime numbers under 100.

This section expands on the process of factoring to certain types of polynomials. In particular, it investigates how to find the sum and difference of cubed numbers and terms, and it will use volume of cubes to model this process.

The method to factor sums and differences of perfect cubes is presented along with an example and several exercises to use for practice.

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 algebra lesson explains how to factor the difference of two squares and the sum and difference of two cubes.
