Perfect Squares and Factoring

In this perfect squares and factoring learning exercise, students solve and complete 26 different problems that include a number of polynomials. First, they determine whether each trinomial is a perfect square trinomial and factor if...

In this perfect square learning exercise, students factor perfect square trinomials and polynomials. They identify trinomials and polynomials that are perfect squares. This one-page learning exercise contains 21 problems.

Introduce young mathematicians to the concept of factoring trinomials with perfect squares. This descriptive video provides a meaningful explanation of the factoring process. Each step is carefully written out in various colors during...

Explore a special pattern in factoring quadratics. The video instructor shows many examples of factoring binomials that are the difference of squares. The examples vary from single to multiple variables and multiple coefficients.

Completing the square is an effective way to solve a quadratic equation. Introduce your class to this technique and use this video to complement your lesson. This resource takes viewers through the process of completing the square,...

It's not really a shortcut but an equivalent equation. That's how these two perfect square equations work. So when you see an expression written out and it fits the perfect square of a trinomial criteria it can be rewritten in the...

What are the characteristics of a polynomial that would make it factorable by the difference of squares rule? There are four must haves: two terms, coefficients are perfect squares, minus sign, degree of each term is even or zero. If it...

Do you have a perfect square binomial? Don't know, not sure, what is a perfect square binomial? The instructor takes you through many steps to see if this given binomial is a perfect square. It is, and she shows you how to factor it.
