Sophia: Factoring Quadratic Equations When a Not Equal to 1: Lesson 2

In this factoring activity, students factor 20 quadratic equations.  The last two questions use constants instead of integers and an answer key is provided.

This is a teacher page for a lesson and does not include any materials to support the lesson. Learners graph quadratic equations with a coefficient of one and create a table of values to graph a quadratic equation. They plot the values...

Factor in different strategies in a instructional activity for factoring quadratics. Young mathematicians first create tables and area models to factor quadratic trinomials into two binomials by guess and check. Learners then investigate...

The central concept in this video is solving quadratics by factoring. Several examples are shown with positive and negative numbers. The instructor demonstrates setting the factored equation to zero to solve the quadratic, using a graph...

Introducing square roots into the quadratic equation mix, Sal addresses the ways viewers might solve the problems, both correctly and incorrectly. The video is an integral step in not only Sal's algebra series but also in developing math...

Focusing on the intuitive nature of algebra and factoring, Sal demonstrates how to factor quadratic equations efficiently. This video would be great to show in class after a lecture on quadratics or to assign in a computer lab (or...

Explore the puzzle of factoring quadratic trinomials using the video lesson. The instructor demonstrates the trial and error process of finding the binomial factors. She shows how to check the factors using multiplication.
