Bring all the factoring together. Pupils view a video presentation that shows how to combine all the factoring techniques from Unit 9 together to factor more complex polynomials. Learners practice with three items within the presentation and check their answers using the video. Scholars practice using all the factoring techniques in the problems on the worksheet.

Concepts

Instructional Ideas

• Challenge students to come up with a trinomial that cannot be factored

Classroom Considerations

• Lesson four in a five-part unit on factoring
• Assumes the class has knowledge of factoring greatest common factors, factoring by grouping, and factoring general trinomials

Pros

• Includes an exit ticket to use to check for understanding
• Shows the work used to arrive at the solution in the answer key

Cons

• None
