Steps to Factor a Polynomial

Work your way through factoring polynomials with a worksheet that starts with the GCF and ends with factoring by grouping. Each page provides an example as well as an answer key for each section. 

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

When presented with categorical data, a two-way frequency table is a great way to summarize the information. Pupils organize categorical data using a two-way table, then use the tables to determine missing data and to calculate simple...

This detailed presentation starts with a review of using key components to graph a line. It then quickly moves into new territory of taking these important parts and teasing them out of a word problem. Special care is taken to discuss...

How do you organize polynomials? The presenter in a short video shows how to find the degree and coefficient of the terms of a polynomial that contains more than one variable. Scholars use that information to find the leading coefficient...

What does it mean for two vectors to be linearly independent? The resource presents the basics of basis vectors and linear combinations. The third video in the 15-part series provides a definition of linear independence in terms of the...

In this video, Sal solves a word problem sent in by a listener with two cyclists riding towards each other over a given time. It is an interesting problem regarding ratios and the relationship between distance, rate, and time. He shows...

All that work put into prime factorizations won't go to waste. An illuminating video describes how to determine the least common multiple and greatest common factor of two numbers using the prime factorizations. Learners see how to use a...

Give students detailed instructions on how to find the Least Common Multiple as well as practice with this thorough introductory worksheet. Instructions for this worksheet include an explanation of both guess and check as well as prime...

Set the standard for working with polynomials. Pupils arrange two polynomial expressions in standard form. The scholars respond to questions about the terms, coefficients, and degrees of the polynomials. They then discuss how they can...
