Multiplying Polynomials using the Distributive property.

Young mathematicians graph polynomials using the factored form. As they apply all positive leading coefficients, pupils demonstrate the relationship between the factors and the zeros of the graph.

In this Algebra II/college level worksheet, students use the discriminate to determine if a polynomial has factors with integral coefficients and factor polynomials, including factoring by pulling out the GCF and factoring by grouping....

In this factoring instructional activity, learners find the common term, use special products or use the diamond method to factor polynomials. Explanations and examples are provided. This three-page instructional activity contains 45...

Examine the process of factoring a greatest common factor from a multivariable polynomial. Here, a video tutorial shows four examples, each increasing in difficulty. The final example has coefficients and several variables.

Use division and factoring to determine the leading 1 coefficient. This presentation thoroughly explains how to factor a trinomial in order to determine its common factors.

Sal takes polynomial equations in the other direction with this video where he shows how to factor them instead of adding or multiplying them. He has two goals in this activity: first, to show how to factor polynomial equations, and then...

Introduce your class to the greatest factor on earth. The group of videos introduces factoring polynomials by finding the greatest common factor (GCF). They connect finding the GCF of the terms in a polynomial to finding the...

A collection of video lessons with example problems and solutions to help students learn how to extend polynomial identities to the complex numbers. Includes interactive widget for working on the modeled problems or trying your own.

You can factor polynomials of the form ax^2 + bx + c. If a is positive, then ax^2+bx+c=(x+m)(ax+n) where c = m*n, a*c = p*q and b = p+q = a*m + n

Factoring patterns are not magic! Show your classes how to model the difference of two squares' factors using an area model. Learners manipulate the width and length of two squares to represent the polynomial a^2-b^2. They use the model...
