Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains factoring trinomials, including those with leading coefficient other than 1. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems....

This activity uses CAS(TI-89) to investigate patterns in factoring and expanding. Through the patterning, students construct their alegebraic knowledge on factoring and expanding, rather than be given a set of rules to follow

Students watch an online tutorial on the concept of factoring trinomials. After watching, students test their knowledge by attempting ten practice problems that increase or decrease in difficulty based on their answers.
