Factoring

In this comprehensive instructional activity and tutorial, algebra learners review factoring in a number of different ways. It reviews factoring out a common monomial, trinomials including those that have a leading coefficient that is...

In this Algebra II/college level worksheet, students use the discriminate to determine if a polynomial has factors with integral coefficients and factor polynomials, including factoring by pulling out the GCF and factoring by grouping....

Math class is full of drama—there are so many problems to work out! Pupils work out factoring problems. They use quadratic methods of factoring higher degree polynomials, in addition to factoring the sum and difference of two cubes. 

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a lesson on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients of one and...

Factor in different strategies in a lesson for factoring quadratics. Young mathematicians first create tables and area models to factor quadratic trinomials into two binomials by guess and check. Learners then investigate how they can...

Solving quadratics by factoring is the main concept in this video. Several examples are shown with positive numbers and with negative numbers. The instructor demonstrates how to set the factored equation to zero to solve the quadratic....

Factoring is one of the first places in math that a young algebrist runs into multiple ways to work a problem. For the more concrete learner who needs a visual structure for problem solving, this presentation of factoring using a Punnett...

Take your class through the mechanics of simplifying algebraic fractions by factoring trinomials. Though the steps for factoring are assumed known, the process of identifying and canceling common factors are detailed with care and...

A brief presentation with laser-like focus, this video talks young mathematicians through the mechanics of simplifying algebraic fractions by factoring trinomials. While the factoring itself is assumed to be a mastered skill, the steps...

Use division and factoring to determine the leading 1 coefficient. This presentation thoroughly explains how to factor a trinomial in order to determine its common factors.
