Use the strategy of working backwards to practice factoring polynomials and multiplying binomials in a game format. Play, and work to find which products combined with the available factors will result in the placement of four tokens in...

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. 

Young mathematicians examine the "Tic-tac-toe" factoring method to factor polynomials. They use algebra tiles to model solutions of binomial multiplication problems. They discuss strategies and observe teacher-made models for solving...

This algebra learning exercise reviews writing polynomials in standard form from factored form, looks at the graphs of polynomials of degree higher than two, and identifies the zeros of polynomials using the Factor Theorem and...

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.

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

Students classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. In this polynomials activity, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Put out by Texas Instruments, this lesson plan 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 plan.

Students factor quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students apply the binomial square theorem to solve quadratics. They complete the square and use the complex number system to solve for the roots.
