Uncover the relationship between factoring quadratics and higher degree polynomials. Learners develop their factoring skills through repetition. A comprehensive lesson plan 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.

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...

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