Fifth graders explore common factors. In this factorization lesson, 5th graders discover the greatest common factor among two numbers in a game format. Students build on previous knowledge to determine the greatest common factor.

Polynomial multiplication and factoring go hand in hand. Why not teach them together. This resource begins with an area model for distributing a monomial and then connects the process to factoring the GCF. Learners then advance to...

Students find the greatest common factor of two numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students use prime factorization to find their factor to simplify equations. they create a factor tree to find the factors of composite numbers.

Fifth graders investigate factors by utilizing mathematical terms.   In this number sense lesson, 5th graders discuss and define terms such as factors, multiples, and denominators.  Students create a Venn Diagram when...

Uncover the relationship between factoring quadratics and higher degree polynomials. Learners develop their factoring skills through repetition. A comprehensive lesson begins with quadratics and shows how to use the same patterns to...

What do you do when factoring doesn't work? Learners complete the square when faced with quadratic expression that don't factor traditionally. They then use factoring by grouping to solve polynomial equations.

Ninth graders factor equations and find prime numbers. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders find the factors and prime factors of a number using multiples and relatively prime numbers.

Students factor trinomials and quadratics. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratics when the leading coefficient is one. They use a special factoring pattern to solve the trinomial.

Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...
