What does completing the square have to do with circles? Math pupils use completing the square and other algebraic techniques to rewrite equations of circles in center-radius form. They then analyze equations of the form x^2 + y^2 + Ax +...

Students factor trinomials using algebra tiles and blocks. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete a trinomials station activity. They work backwords to find their answers and discuss their steps in a group.

Pupils simplify equations and expressions. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide as they solve expressions. They relate factoring to solving polynomials.

Put out by Texas Instruments, this lesson involves learners in an activity focused on adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, and expanding binomials. A TI-89 calculator is needed to complete this lesson.

Learners factor trinomials using patterns and their TI to graph their results and make predictions through this lesson. This is accomplished by solving quadratic equations through FOIL and algebra tiles.
