You can factor polynomials of the form ax^2 + bx + c. If a is positive, then ax^2+bx+c=(x+m)(ax+n) where c = m*n, a*c = p*q and b = p+q = a*m + n

Students watch an online tutorial on the concept of factoring trinomials using the difference of two squares. After watching, students test their knowledge by attempting ten practice problems that increase or decrease in difficulty based...

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains factoring and multiplying a difference of two squares. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. A set of cumulative...

This series of activities provides an introduction to some Algebra concelpts using CAS. The activities start with Algebra tiles and CAS. Patterning is modelled for the students so that they can construct the knowledge rather than be...

In this game, you must send rescuers to ships trapped in the Bermuda Triangle by first decoding their coordinates that were given to you as quadratic expressions. As you decode the coordinates, you must draw a search area on a grid that...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers factoring perfect square trinomials and the difference of squares.

This site, which is given by the University of Saskatchewan, provides a general overview of polynomials and roots. Examples and exercises are included.

Several special products are presented here, including expressions with two variables, squaring binomials and trinomials, and products involving cubes.

This CoolMath resource introduces student to quadratic equations.
