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 multiplying binomials and make connections to factoring. Multiplying is continually reinforced with the process of factoring.
