Curated OER
Old Poly Factoring
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.
Curated OER
Factoring Completely
In this algebra learning exercise, students factor out polynomials using the GCF. They identify special patterns or formula and factor those out first. There are 11 polynomial problems of different degrees.
Curated OER
Rational Expressions
Students simplify rational expressions. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve rational equations using multiplication and division. They apply properties of exponents and negative exponents to solve the problems.
