This activity uses the division algorithm and the definition of a zero/root of a function to guide your class to see the relationship between zeros and factors of a general quadratic, which can later be generalized to the Remainder...

Create number sentences and equations to solve geometric problems. Each activity in the series of five asks young mathematicians to consider different-sized tiles to build structures according to specific criteria. The first activities,...

This activity highlights the use of the remainder theorem to solve for the unknown coefficient of a specified polynomial when given one of its factors. Use this single problem as a warm-up exercise, a quick check-in at the end of a...

Twenty-eight problems present a variety of problems using factoring to solve equations. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View Solution"...
