This lesson describes a great number of topics. It gives examples and explains how to factor trinomials and other polynomials.

Identify correctly factored forms of given polynomials. Factorizations may use complex numbers. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this lesson, special cases of factoring are described, including perfect squares, difference of squares, and difference and sum of cubes. Exercises with answers included.

Students will be given binomials to multiply or trinomials to factor. The teacher will enter the binomials/trinomial into activity center and students must send in other form. Correct answers should match teacher graph.

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
